Hi, All.
This past weekend was the Maine Blues Festival and it sounded wonderful as the music flowed up from the Naples Causeway up to the inn.
Also, kicked off the Classic Cocktail Hour at the inn. I decided to have a Special Drink of the Weekend--a "Frozen Watermelon-Strawberry Daiquiri." It went over well.
I used Bacardi rum, a splash of Midori (melon liqueur), a bit of thawed lime-ade concentrate, and cubed FROZEN fresh watermelon and strawberries.
I picked up the technique of cubing and freezing the fresh fruit from Bon Appetit magazine. In the past I have used ice cubes and refrigerated fruit (the ice cubes watered down the taste of the beverage). Here the chilled fruit packs all fruit flavor while freezing up the Frozen Drink! Great Tip! Thought I'd pass it on.
Frozen fruit (pre-cut and bagged in your freezer)would be great for breakfast or post workout smoothies (hear that, reader Lindsay? Your B&B in Florida would be great to have a fresh fruit smoothie on those warm Florida mornings!!).
Stock up on seasonal fruit (especially when it is on sale) for those Summer cookouts and treadmill sessions. Other perfect summer choices: kiwi, peaches, berries. So, before you turn the blender on, think of this tip!
Best,
Your Innkeeper, Keith
Naples, Maine
