I must admit, since summer vacation began, I find myself answering certain questions everyday.
"Shall I go to the gym once...or twice?"
"Do I want to save my Target browsing for Friday afternoon or should I go today and start the week off with some new toys?"
"Is noon too early for a cocktail?"
It is summer vacation, after all.
I mean, we have mimosas and champagne cocktails with breakfast. Well, I don't. But I assume that some of you do. So what's wrong with a little afternoon libation??
Minute Maid Cherry Limeaide is amazing. I went through a gallon of this juice in a week. At less than 2 dollars a half gallon and less than 15 calories a glass, you can afford it! And it totally doesn't taste diet-y at all.
That's right. "Kristin-approved" juice is hard to find. It's either too calorie-heavy or tastes like diet soda to me.
Cherry Lime Rum Slush
makes 2 large cocktails
1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) cherries
1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) strawberries*
Juice of half a lime
1/2 cup limeaide (from a carton, from concentrate, whatever you got)
1 shot rum
1 shot coconut rum
1 shot Triple Sec (everything is better with Triple Sec)
*If you wanna make it extra boozy, throw in a shot of tequila too.*
Extra limeaide
Lime slices for garnish
Crushed ice
Blend all of the ingredients listed at the top in a blender. Pour into two glasses or, do like I do, and pour half in a glass and save the other half in a tupperware container in the freezer for another day.
Top with a scoop of crushed ice and extra limeaide to thin it out and make it drinkable. Garnish with extra lime.
*I just love strawberries. You can double the cherries.*
