DRINKS

RASPBERRY ’RITAS

Makes six servings

16ounces (450 g) chilled fresh or frozen, thawed raspberries

12ounces (340 g) frozen limeade, thawed

3ounces (85 g) chilled Triple Sec

8ounces (227 g) chilled tequila thin lime slices for garnish

Combine raspberries and limeade in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal “s” blade. Process until smooth. Press through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Turn machine on. Pour the juice mixture into the freezer bowl and mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes (mixture should be very thick as liquors will thin it out). Add chilled Triple Sec and tequila during the last 2 to 3 minutes of mixing.

Serve immediately in stemmed glasses with straws, or freeze until ready to serve. Garnish with a thin slice of lime.

For Peachy ’Ritas, substitute sliced peaches for the raspberries.
