Progress, as you know, does not stand still. Replacing forks, nimbuses, meat grinders came new, “smart” machines: food processors, double boiler, blenders. Let's talk today about what can be done in a blender. Consider the fact that the blender is designed for chopping. He can make meat, for example, with mincemeat, and turn fruits and vegetables into mashed potatoes. And what amazing cocktails are obtained in it! Recipes in a blender are not limited to this. But today we’ll talk about cocktails. Some simple, useful and tasty suggestions. Watch and choose.
Milkshakes in a blender
1. The ingredients. A glass of yogurt, a glass of strawberries, a serving of ice cream, a glass of milk.
We spread all the ingredients in a blender, pour in yogurt, milk and beat. Pour the cocktail into the glasses until the donkey.
2. The ingredients. A glass of milk, a portion of ice cream, a glass of cream, peppermint syrup, mint.
All the ingredients are sent to a blender, beat, add syrup (if you wish), whisk again and pour into glasses until the donkey. Leaflets decorate a glass or tube.
3. The ingredients. Two glasses of milk, a glass of cream, a pack (serving) of ice cream, sugar (80-90 gr), vanilla, two tablespoons full of cocoa.
Beat in a blender all the ingredients except cocoa into the foam. We pour half into the glasses, filling them by a third and again we return to the blender. Pour cocoa and a drop of vanilla into the remaining half of the cocktail. Whip again. We get a chocolate cocktail. We pour it on the same glasses very carefully, in the middle (or side). The aesthetically beautiful appearance of such a cocktail matches the taste. Top (as a decoration) can be lightly sprinkled with chocolate chips.
4. The ingredients. Two glasses of milk, half the ripened avocado, honey (liquid, 2-3 tbsp.spoons).
Pour milk into a blender, spread the flesh of half an avocado and honey. Whisk. To improve the taste, you can add ice cream and a little sugar.
Smoothies in a blender
1. The ingredients. Banana, a glass of grapefruit juice, a handful of cranberries or currants. Optionally, you can add nuts, bran, seeds, oatmeal.
Beat banana, juice and cranberries in a blender. Nuts (flakes, bran, seeds) are ground in a coffee grinder. Pour the cocktail into glasses, sprinkle with ground nut on top.
2. The ingredients. A glass of vanilla yogurt (can be replaced with ice cream), ripe pear, a slice of melon (120-140 gr), maple syrup, raspberry, mint.
We take a pear well ripened. We clean, remove the core and cut into pieces. Cut the peel from the melon and cut it into pieces too. We send everything except raspberries to a blender. Whisk. Pour into glasses. We decorate a cocktail with raspberries and mint .
3. The ingredients. A glass of coconut milk, mango, lime, honey if desired.
Beat all the ingredients in a blender and pour the resulting cocktail into glasses.
Alcoholic cocktails in a blender
1. The ingredients. Amaretto, Canadian whiskey, blackcurrant liquor, dry vermouth, whole orange peel (or juice), cherry (or sweet cherry, for decoration).
We mix all the ingredients in a blender, pour into glasses and decorate with double cherries.
2. The ingredients. Tangerine liquor, gin, lemon juice (25-30 ml each), champagne (250-300 ml), banana, a circle of orange, ice.
Whip all ingredients (except orange) in a blender. Moisten the glass (you can completely, you can only part, in a semicircle) of the glass and dip it in sugar. Pour the cocktail into the glasses. We cut a circle of orange in half and decorate the glass.
3. Ingredients are given for eight servings. Two sliced into four parts lime, Grand Marnier (75-80 ml), Gold tequila (320-340 ml), Triple Sec liqueur (210-230 ml), sweet and sour mix (380-400 ml ), ice cubes (based on 3-4 per glass).
Glasses are those that are designed for martinis. The edges of the glasses are covered with salt (wet the edges with lime and dip, gently brush off excess). Put the ice immediately in the glasses. Mix in a Triple Sec blender, mix, tequila, Grand Marnier. Beat until volume and pour into glasses. Add 10-15 ml of lime juice to each glass. Serve with lime slices on a glass.
These are just a few examples of how cocktails are made in a blender. Really simple, tasty and fast. Experiment, and your desires and imagination will tell you new recipes. Enjoy your meal!
