🍓 Berry Breeze

Fruity, frosty, and fabulous – this layered drink blends frozen berries, a splash of juice, and a swirl of whipped cream for a beautiful and delicious treat.

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

• ½ cup frozen blackberries (adds rich color and deeper flavor)

• 1 cup berry juice (cranberry juice or mixed berry juice work best)

• 1 oz fresh lemon juice

• 2 oz berry-flavored vodka (optional, for a boozy kick)

• 1 cup crushed ice

• Whipped cream (for topping)

• Fresh blueberries and raspberries (for garnish)

🥣 Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:

   • In a blender, combine the frozen mixed berries, berry juice, lemon juice, and crushed ice.

   • Add the berry-flavored vodka if using.

   • Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy.

2. Swirl with Blackberry Blend:

   • In a separate small blender cup or bowl, blend the frozen blackberries with 2–3 tablespoons of the berry mix from step 1 to form a darker, thicker puree.

   • Set aside for a dramatic swirl effect.

3. Assemble the Drinks:

   • Pour the berry mixture into two tall glasses, leaving about ½ inch at the top.

   • Gently spoon or drizzle the blackberry puree on top and use a straw or skewer to create a swirl.

4. Top and Garnish:

   • Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top.

   • Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and raspberries.

5. Serve Immediately:

   • Serve with a straw and enjoy the icy, fruity goodness while cold!
