These drinks are not for the kiddies, but I thought that the adults of our group might enjoy them.
Frozen Mango Martini:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1- 1/4 inch long piece fresh ginger (about 1 inch in diameter), sliced
2 medium mangoes, peeled, pitted
1/2 cup vodka
20 ice cubes
Combine sugar, water and ginger in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover; let steep 1 hour. Strain ginger syrup. Cool. (can be made 1 day ahead). Cover; chill.
Puree mangoes in blender. Pour into measuring cup. Return 3/4 cup puree to blender (reserve any remaining puree for another use). Add 1/2 cup ginger syrup (reserve any remaining syrup for another use), vodka and ice cubes to blender. Blend until smooth. Makes 4
Frozen Watermelon Margaritas (Makes about 6 drinks)
3 lb. piece watermelon
1 cup white tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
1/4 cup sugar or to taste
Remove rind from watermelon and cut enough fruit into 1 inch pieces to measure 5 cups. (Leave in some seeds for a speckled appearance.). Freeze watermelon in a sealable plastic bag at least 3 hours and up to one week. In a blender, blend frozen watermelon with remaining ingredients until thick and smooth.
This one is not frozen, but doesn't it sound yummy:
Chocolate Martini
Combine 2 oz. vodka, 1 oz. dark crème de cacao, 1 oz. chocolate liqueur (like Godiva) in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a Pocky (chocolate-dipped cookie stick, available at Asian markets) swizzle stick.
For a white chocolate martini, use clear crème de cacao and Godiva white chocolate liqueur.
Remember please drink responsibly and don't drink and drive! {{{{hugs}}}}
