Red, white, and blue paloma slushies
Cocktails
Adapted from the recipe for Paloma Slushies in Julia Turshen's <em>Small Victories</em>. <br /> <br />The original recipes calls for grapefruit juice, and it's delicious, but if you feel like making a summery variation I highly recommend strawberries. As with cooking, drink making requires adjusting to taste. Depending on how sweet your strawberries are, you may need more or less honey (or agave) or fresh lime. Also, depending on the size of your blender, you may need to add the strawberries in batches, and you may need to add the ice in batches as well. It all works out in the end, just be mindful of your blender's capacity. <br /> <br />Blueberries are fun, too, and festive if you want to make a blue drink for the Fourth, though I am partial to strawberry and grapefruit. <br /> <br />I've been using light agave, which has a nice, neutral flavor. It's less viscous than honey, which makes it a little easier to use, though this is a minor detail.
