My 13 yr old son was inspired by a recipe in his book “The Blender Way to Better Cooking”. Not having all the ingredients he improvised like a pro.
His recipe: Ginger Ale Apple-Lemon Slushy
Serves 3 large glasses. We squeezed it into 5 smaller glasses.
Place into your blender the following
- 2 cups of lightly or unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tsp of hazelnut syrup
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/3 cup of water
Ginger Ale - save for later.
Mix this in your blender on the lowest setting for about 45 seconds. It will froth up slightly. After it is mixed, thoroughly chill by placing it in the fridge for an hour or two.
When it’s time to serve, fill a glass half way with your apple mix. Then top off with ginger ale. Serve with a straw.
This was a refreshing tart drink. It tasted great after dinner. After looking at the original recipe in his book, I believe his would be much better. If it were anything near warm outside this would make a great summer beverage. Hell, this tastes great anytime. I’m thinking it could almost be a breakfast drink.
The kid is takin’ after his old man.
