COOL BLENDS

Some of the most refreshing drinks are mixed in the blender. Since slightly 
melted ice makes for a better
drink, the ice used to make any daiquiri-like cooler should be allowed to sit at room temperature for about one-half hour before using. While the ice is sitting, take ten ounces of frozen strawberries and blend them until smooth. Pour the strawberry purée evenly among four tall glasses. Next, place three cups of ice, a very ripe banana, a cup of frozen blueberries, a half-cup of vodka or rum, a half-cup of pineapple 
juice, and a quarter-cup of cream of
coconut in the blender. Process until smooth, and then add the mixture evenly to strawberry puree in the tall glasses. Enjoy! 

HINT: Use mango, papaya, and peaches to make tasty daiquiri-like coolers like the one described above. 

Daiquiris are fantastic for many occasions, and are very popular year round. At POND POINT WINES & SPIRITS, we carry all the liquors you could possibly want to use in a daiquiri. We'd also be happy to discuss which liquors mix well, and how to make them. Come into 15-19 Pond Point Avenue next time you’re thinking daiquiris. Questions? Call 203.874.7111.
