This slushy blender cocktail is perfect for whiling away the summer hours.
Head to the farmers' market for peak-season fruit. Freeze the fruit in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Purée ingredients in a blender until smooth and very thick. Divide among glasses and serve.
Cold Facts:
The drier the ice, the better. Melting ice makes for a watery cocktail.
No need to upgrade your blender. The old one will do the trick just fine.
Texture Matters:
Frozen drinks should look too thick when poured into the glass. They will loosen immediately.
