Pink Grapefruit Cosmoplitan Smoothie

Three parts frozen Cosmopolitan. I used the cocktail in a bucket type, but any frozen cosmo would do.
One part pink grapefruit ice cream. I made a beautiful pink grapefruit ice cream late last year, but unfortunately that was in my non-blogging period, and now I can't find the recipe. I know it was custard based, and I think I may have cannibalised so other sort of citrus ice cream recipe to make it.
Blitz in the blender until smooth. The photo does not do the pinkness of this drink justice.

And the taste? Well apart from moaning, I'd say it's fruity, sweet and tart and creamy and refreshing, and not for people with sensitive teeth - the vodka doesn't freeze until it's way below zero, so this ends up super cold. Pretty strong too.
On second thoughts, perhaps I should not have written this post while I was taste testing. Meh, What's a drunken post or two between friends.

This is the drink I'm serving up for the Virtual Girls Night In. I thought I'd post it up before round up so you could all try some too. If I find that pink grapefruit ice cream recipe, I promise I'll blog it up for you. It's very delicious.

Don't forget to think (and cook!) pink for the Virtual Night In, raising money and awareness for Breast Cancer Research.

Kids Cooking Thursday: Pink Grapefruit and Apple Biscuits

While not exactly what I had in mind when I thought of making these, these super thin, chewy biscuits are still very yummy.


Super thin

Two weeks ago, we made Lemon Lime Cupcakes, and I mentioned how much I loved the sugary, crunchy tops. I figured, if the overflow of the cupcakes were so good, then making biscuit out of just the overflow would be all awesomeness. Well, it didn't quite work the same way, but they were still very nice biscuits.

We followed the recipe as linked, except in place of the lemon/lime mineral water, and the lemon extract, we used apple and pink grapefruit mineral water.


Ready for baking

These were way too close together, as the mixture flattened out completely in the oven.

Miss Three did the sprinkles, can you tell?
