Alcoholic Smoothies

With Christmas fast approaching it seemed the right time to start adding some 'winter warmers' into the mix. Of course, if making these, be careful the children don't get their hands on them....

Vodka is great to add to any recipe - because you can't taste it. Add one measure of spirit per glass of smoothie mix.

But for today, here's a special rum recipe for those of you who like it:

Rum Berry Cooler
1 measure white rum
2 tablespoons lime juice
Half cup raspberries (strawberries would also taste great)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup soda water
half cup crushed ice (if you like it cold)

As usual, stick it all in the blender for about 30 seconds. Alternatively if you want to keep the berries whole, then just shake it up in a cocktail shaker. Decorate with a couple of lime slices and serve.

Remember, dont drink and drive......
