Candy corn milkshakes?! YES, please! I know this may sound like bad idea but trust me, these milkshakes are the bomb. 😉 My kids beg me to make them so I figured I’d share the recipe since it’s almost Halloween. If you want to enjoy a yummy treat or just impress some guests (these look really cool) then you will want to do this next recipe. Enjoy!

Candy Corn Milkshakes

Ingredients:

1 Quart Vanilla Ice Cream
1 Quart Orange Sherbet
Whipped Cream or Cool Whip
Yellow Food Coloring

Directions:

Let your vanilla ice cream soften for about 25 minutes outside of the freezer. After the ice cream is softened take 1/3 of the ice cream and put it into a bowl and put the quart of vanilla ice cream back in the freezer. Add yellow food coloring to the ice cream in the bowl until the desired shade is obtained. Mix well.
Take your orange sherbet out of the freezer to allow it to start softening.
Fill your milkshake glasses with yellow ice cream into the bottoms, filling the cups about 1/3 full.I used this dessert decorator with no tip to put the softened ice cream in. It makes it so much easier and less messy.
Wipe down the inside of the cups with a paper towel to remove ice cream streaks. Place your cups in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to let the yellow layer harden a little.
Take your vanilla ice cream out of the freezer again to allow it to start softening.
Remove the cups from the freezer and carefully spoon in the orange sherbet now, filling the cups about 2/3 full, and again, smoothing out the top. Wipe the excess on the inside of the cups with a paper towel. Place the cups back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
Remove the cups from the freezer and add the final layer of vanilla ice cream, filling the cups within 1/2 inch from the top of the cup. Smooth out the tops again.
Top off your desserts with whipped cream or cool whip. Enjoy!

Adult Drink Recipes are perfect for Summer!

BBQ’s, sunshine, family and a refreshing drink is what summer means to me. I love to entertain during the summer months but finding the right drink isn’t always easy. It seems like it is easier to get creative with food. I’ve rounded up what I think are going to some amazing drinks to serve this summer.

10 Summer Time Drinks

1. Peppermint Vojito – This recipe is originally dubbed as a St. Patrick’s Day recipe but I think it would be perfect for the summer months as well.

2. Raspberry Ice Tea Martini – I love ice tea and raspberries, so putting them together to make a martin sounds genius! I’m really looking forward to serving this one up this summer.

3. Blue Ocean Cocktail – This drink looks beautiful. I’m very hopeful that it taste as good as it looks. I think it will be a hit with my friends and family.

4. Cajun Margarita – I have tried several different margarita flavors but Cajun I have never tried. This recipe really sparked my interest, I’m thinking it will be a sweet and spice mixed together. Either way it sounds delicious.

5. Cake Batter Martini – Cake batter martini just sounds flat-out amazing! Not only does it sound amazing but it looks amazing. You could really impress your guests with this drink.

6. OWG Margarita – OWG is a brand that helps make your margarita a great one. This post shows how to make a margarita using the OWG brand. This looks like a quick and easy way to make a good drink.

7. Love Potion 9 – Once again the visuals of this drink caught my attention. I’m sure it taste great but I just can’t stop looking at it.

8. Raspberry Beer Cocktail – This cocktail looks like the perfect summer time BBQ cocktail. Beer with raspberry and a few other ingredients. I think even the men might like this one.

9.Kiwi-Strawberry Bellini – Just look at the picture of this drink and you will be impressed. It looks like something you would find in a five-star restaurant, yet so easy to make!

10. Peach Berries Sangria – Lately I have been seeing more and more Sangria recipes. This one is made with peaches and berries and looks so refreshing.

What summer time drinks do you serve up for your guests?

I love just about everything from Chick-Fil-A…I’ve made a decision to dry out most of their menu 😉 and one of my all time favorites is the Frosted Lemonade. This is so much more than just a slushie type drink because it’s made with ice cream (not just ice) and lemon juice. It may sound kind of strange but I promise you, it’s totally delicious. The kiddos get so excited when I make this and so do my friends and family. Enjoy!

1 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (Sunkist brand is recommended as it is the brand that Chick Fil-A uses) – (I like this Lemon Squeezer)
1/2 cup Sugar
2 1/2 cups Water
Edy’s Slow Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

DIRECTIONS:

Add lemon juice and sugar to pitcher.
If you are using bottled lemon juice, increase amount to 1 1/2 cups.

Add water and stir until well mixed.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
Add 1 cup chilled lemonade and 2 cups (about 4 scoops) ice cream to blender.

I’ve been ordering pink lemonade forever and it’s one of my “go-to” drinks whenever we are out anywhere. I’ll admit it, I never knew what made it pink and different than just lemonade. I finally figured it out and was shocked to find it’s cranberry juice! Yep, good ol’ cranberry juice makes this drink extra tasty. I started making it at home and use a simple sugar recipe to make it sweet, refreshing and just the perfect Summer drink! Enjoy!

I love Copycat Starbucks drinks! Here is one of my favorite drinks to make at home and especially when it’s cold and snowing outside. If you can’t have caffeine or are trying to limit your intake, you can just omit the coffee or use decaf and it tastes just as good. This is really the type of drink you could make all year long and the great thing is, Starbucks stops making them after the Holidays so you can continue to make them at home with this recipe.

Cocktail drinks are a perfect addition to any party because you can make them colorful, “bloody” and they taste great! I like making this “Vampire’s Kiss” drink in the month of October. This is definitely an adult drink BUT you can make it for the kiddos using green kool-aid (lime works well), and pineapple, cream and you can still do the bloody rim. 😉

Vampire’s Kiss

Fake blood for rim:

½ c. white corn syrup
1 tbsp. cornstarch
⅛ to ¼ c. water
15 drops red food coloring
5 drops blue food coloring (makes it red and not pink)

Combine all and and to the rim of your glass.

Drink:

1½ oz. Midori
1 oz. SKYY Infusions Blood Orange
2 oz. pineapple
½ oz. cream
Grenadine

Combine all ingredients except grenadine in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain over a little ice. Drizzle grenadine in glass.
