Prosecco Cocktail with 6Ft6 + Giveaway

by | Oct 13, 2017 | Drinks, Entertaining, Gifted

Ummm, prosecco fans, get yourself ready for your summer beverage of choice. You’re going to love this prosecco cocktail with blackberries and mint. The best news is it is easily adapted for one or for a crowd. And speaking of a crowd, it makes so well ahead of time you won’t even be mad at it. Entertainer win.

How to make Suger’s Prosecco Blackberry Punch

YOU’LL NEED

6Ft6 Prosecco
Lemonade
Vodka
Blackberries
Mint

DO THIS

Combine the vodka, blackberries and mint in a jug. I left my mint whole, but tearing or chopping into smaller pieces would work too, as would muddling it in the bottom of the glass or jug. Use one shot of vodka per serve. Add the prosecco and lemonade at approximately a half/half ratio. I prefer mine more prosecco, less lemonade, but you do you. Serve chilled. Frozen berries assist with this on a hot day! So if serving frozen, add berries when all ingredients are combined.

So, you’ve got a giveaway too, huh?

Coffee & Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

Coffee & Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

by | Dec 29, 2016 | Food + Drink, Smoothies + Juices

Summer has been a stinker around here already. Seriously, from day one it’s like it was trying to melt me into a puddle on my patio floor. Dying. So in an effort to make breakfast something I could stomach, I decided to give smoothie bowls a try. I’m not sure exactly what the difference is between a smoothie and an acai bowl, but well. Let’s go with smoothie, shall we?

I received some coffee protein powder stuff to try and figured I’d head down the coffee route. I, of course, added some espresso to that as well, I’m really into coffee. Some fruit and toppings and hey presto! A melting bowl of goodness. Later some Instagram friends told me less liquid would help. More frozen stuff. So I’ve modified it a little and shared the NEW and IMPROVED recipe below.

You’re welcome! Who’s hungry?

Coffee and Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

YOU’LL NEED

1 Banana, frozen
1/2 cup blueberries, frozen
1/2 to 1 cup vanilla almond milk, chilled
1 scoop protein powder, preferably coffee
1 shot espresso, chilled
Coconut, to top
Chocolate drops, to top
A bowl/soup mug or similar container, chilled

DO THIS

  1. Add the banana, blueberries, protein powder, espresso and 1/2 cup almond milk in a blender.
  2. Pulse until combined. If too thick (or not combined), add more almond milk until you reach a soft ice cream consistency.
  3. Pour into a bowl and top with extra blueberries, cocoa covered coconut and chocolate drops.

Easy peasy. I may have totally added another shot of coffee at the end… for those that are so inclined. Haha. The trickiest part of this stuff is getting that smoothie part to the right consistency. You can also freeze some almond milk or the espresso into an ice tray to help thicken it up. Let’s face it, when it’s summer in Queensland, all the icy cold goodness you can get is good.
