This is a conversation that I imagine will be taking place in the near future.
Me- “Why, Mr. President,, I hear that you think peas have no place in a frozen cocktail drink%u2026 but, excuse me if I am being to frank., but you would, in fact, be wrong.”
He would then reply
“Oh man, you are so right!%u00a0Why don’t you come have dinner with me , Michelle and the kids. We (or the%u00a0kitchen staff) can make these amazingly%u00a0awesome slushies (virgin of course for the kids) and walk around the house.%u00a0%u00a0Michelle will show you the gardens and I’ll show you all of my%u00a0secrets hiding places. %u00a0And don’t worry about driving home, you can crash in one of the spare rooms.”
And then we are all best friends and I go to there house for BBQ’s and make them dinner. My%u00a0mr. and Obama will play basketball and talk about beer and I will%u00a0go to workout classes and garden with Michelle..
It’s totally going to happen…
But for real, this slushy drink, it is sooooo good!!! How can anything blueberry mint not be. And sure , peas might seem like a%u00a0strange ingredient in drink, but trust me, they are not. Peas have such a nice lovely flavor that bring a%u00a0little sweetness, a little creaminess, and a tiny bit of earthiness%u00a0%u00a0to the slushy. And the booze, well that just makes it all the better. Plus,%u00a0with it being the holiday weekend and pretty freaking%u00a0hot (I know that the folks down south are melting) any and all drinks should be made in a slushy form.%u00a0
So no matter how you feel about peas in other stuff (guacamole is fantastic with or without)%u00a0Don’t knock it until you try it!. That’s you too Mr. President!
Good time stuff. Frozen blueberries, frozen peas and a few shots of rum.* Fresh mint, lime juice and some plain bubbly water.%u00a0
* Note.Rum can be replaced with gin, vodka or any hard alcohol you think you might like%u2026 or no booze at all.
And here it goes%u2026%u2026.Everything but the bubbly water goes into the blender.
Blend it all up until you get a thick icy slush. Add in a little splash of%u00a0water if you need to to get it moving. Turn blender off when it’s slush.
Now add in the bubbly water and watch it fizz.%u00a0Turn the blender back on for%u00a0another few seconds, just until it’s%u00a0mixed up and all drinkable slushy like.%u00a0
Pour into glasses, garnish with a mint leave, and serve with a%u00a0bright colored straw.
There is no doubt that peas belong in this%u00a0drink! Soooo F*ing good!!!!
Happy Friday and Happy 4th!
And don’t be stupid.%u00a0 No sloppy%u00a0drinking and playing with firecrackers. Fingers and faces don’t grow back!
