The Thirsty Diva ™

This is my version of the cocktail classic. This is great while watching tennis, company or a late summer day. 6 - 8 oz. vodka 1/3 c. fresh raspberries 2 - 3 c. prepared lemonade  Ice 1/2 c. melon balls Rinse raspberries through a strainer under running cold water, pat raspberries dry with a clean paper towel.  In a clean jar combine raspberries & vodka, screw on lid and place jar in refrigerator for a few days. When you’re ready to use, remove jar from fridge. Cut melon in half and scoop 8 melon balls from melon. Skewer 2 melon balls on 4 toothpicks, set aside. Place ice in the bottom of 4 clean glasses.  Unscrew lid from jar & strain desired amount of vodka through a tea strainer into glasses. Top glasses off with lemonade and garnish glasses with melon. Serves 4. Serves 6 - 8.  

This is great to enjoy for summer, an easy breakfast or anytime. 2 - 3 c. almond milk 1 c. blueberries 1/2 c. pineapple chunks 1 banana sliced Rinse blueberries in a colander. Open up a can of pineapple chunks, strain liquid into a cup.   Put pineapple chunks into a clean bowl, set aside. Peel and slice banana.
