As I looked out the fingerprint and dog drool smeared living room window into the drizzly, blustery day this morning, I daydreamed about the unseasonably hot weather we enjoyed last week. So many of my favorite simple summer things happened that week.
The ducks came back to our irrigation ditch; though no ducklings quite yet.
The boys went to bed dirty and happily exhausted each night from their outdoor adventures.
I didn't have to wear socks, or a coat or turn the heat on.
And the best one of all! I got to once again relax on my front porch...which to me, is one of the most blissful places on earth.
During one such lovey afternoon while sitting my favorite spot watching the boys ride bikes in the driveway, I dreamed up this little treat to enjoy with the hubster when he got home from work. Don't tell anyone, but in the comfort of our own home, my manly man husband loves the girlie drinks I come up with for him. Yes, I underlined the word 'loves.'
Shhhh.
Make these for your manly man today!
Strawberry Orange Sherbet Daiquiri
Makes 4
1/2 cup white rum
1/4 cup triple sec
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen, sliced
3/4 cup orange sherbet
ice
Load up a blender with the first 5 ingredients and blend until smooth. Add ice to fill blender about 3/4 full and continue to blend until pourable. Add water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Use a lemon wedge or your finger dipped in lemon juice to moisten the rim of a margarita glass then dip the glass in any kind of sugar you have on hand.
This recipe is super forgiving, so feel free to adjust the amounts to your preferences. If it's not sweet enough, go ahead and add a bit of sugar.
Yumm!! Will you make one for me if I drive 90 miles?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!! I'll even make you two.
