MY ANNUAL SUMMER RECIPIE!

It's Summer...
Good Morning!
(Newcomers: Welcome! This is a Michael Manning Tradition.):
It's that time of the year again where I post a drink that is--to quote the beach waiter in the Blake Edwards film "10" --"something cool, refreshing". This year, I've selected a "Raspberry Gelatini"!
-
Face it: When you live in Phoenix and it's a weekend (or evening) , you need an icy beverage to chase away those "summertime blues" (a term which makes no sense to me).
-
The Recipie:
Take 11/2 ounces of Raspberry Vodka
Add a splash of Raspberry syrup
Now add a small scoop of Raspberry gelato (must be home made)
Top off with Sprite
Voila!
-
Benefit: The little kid in you gets a chance to enjoy the burst of flavor from a frozen treat, while the grownup in you (?) gets to sip on an adult beverage. Voila!
-
(The BLOG before this one is fairly good too).

My drink is one scoop of protein powder in milk and add a banana and blend.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today Michael and for the kind words.

while i can't indulge in alcohol anymore due to the meds I take I can pass this along. Maybe just a sip for a taste. Have a good one.

You mention a summer recipe and show two delightful ladies in bikinis!

Sage: Yes, the girl on the right was mentioned in a previous post.;)

DJ DAVY B: We'll accomodate you without the alcohol and you're always welcomed to the party! After all, Dean Martin more often than not had Ginger Ale with ice in his alcohol glass on TV, and that's a true story! :)

Captain Picard: The one on the right is significant. I am forbidden to elaborate beyond that. But yes, I do have good taste (if I may be immodest!) :D)

Your recipe sounds delicious -- I'll have to try it. I also like raspberry vodka and lemonade. Not as fun as gelato but I like the fruitier ones.

That sounds A-1 Michael. I can't wait to give it a very serious try.

Becky: Gelato is very big here in Phoenix with lots of stores. :)

Martini: Shaken or stirred, it's a great one!
