We had a little party at the beach over the holiday weekend. We made pitchers full of frozen fruity drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). We used quite a few fresh fruits to make the frozen cocktails, and they turned out fabulous.
Here’s the basic recipe (it’s not exact so feel free to adjust it to your taste):

Fruity Frozen Beach Cocktails
Ingredients:
- 1/2 to 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 of a mango peeled and chopped
- 1 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
- 1/2 kiwi peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 banana peeled and chopped
- about 1 cup of ice (top off the blender after adding the other ingredients)
- 1 1/2 oz Coconut rum ( we used Cruzan)
- 1 1/2 oz Pineapple rum (Cruzan)
- Whipped topping
How to make them:
Put all the ingredients in a blender, and top with the ice. Blend all the ingredients together and pour into 3-4 glasses, then top with the whipped topping. Add a strawberry garnish and a straw and you’re set.
Feel free to experiment with different in season fruits. I think we even added watermelon to the recipe a couple of times, and it was a great addition.
You can leave out the rum and make a delicious fruity drink for the kids. Yum!
