This next recipe falls in the same vein. It has 3 simple ingredients, two of which are healthy! The third is vodka. How could you go wrong? This is a beautifully sweet way to cap off a meal. It also makes a great afternoon snack (hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?) because it's very filling. And it quite literally tastes like strawberry shortcake in a glass. Don't let strawberry season pass you by without giving this a whirl (pun intended)!
Strawberry Shortcake in a Glass (a Blondie original)
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 to 1 1/4 c. milk (skim works, whole tastes richer)
- 1 c. cake vodka (we like Pinnacle, but I'm sure other brands work, too)
- 3 basil leaves (optional)
Combine strawberries, milk, vodka, and basil leaves (optional) in a blender. You can adjust the amount of milk depending on how creamy you would like it. Blend until smooth, and then drink up! Makes about 4 glasses.
