Fruit soup shots add cool blast to warm summer evenings
Early summer is my entertaining season. I love deck parties. When the days are nice and warm and the evenings can still cool off a bit, gathering on the deck for food and fellowship is the way to go.
Today's recipe is super easy to prepare, doesn't heat up the kitchen and makes a splash at any adult gathering. Introducing Fruit Soup Shots: They're part-adult smoothie, part-cold soup course and part cocktail.
These little gems are full of the season's best berries and are topped with a drizzle of triple sec for that unexpected pop of flavor. You can blend them and refrigerate up to 12 hours before serving. Just pour them into shot glasses when you're ready to party.
If deck and patio parties are not for you, this recipe makes the perfect brunch aperitif or cold soup course. The drink's bright berry color and tiny mint leaf make it simply as pretty as a picture. Enjoy!
