Summer Drinks for the Blender

During the summer season, an electric blender is a must to prepare good drinks. The ingredients are simple and the only important recipe is the crushed ice.

One of the favorite is the watermelon drink. It is easy to prepare; just crushed ice, a little sugar, a dash of lemon and unseeded watermelons into a blender- a refreshing drink. Everybody can enjoy this drink and it refreshing too. Most resorts serve this in tall glasses topped with an umbrella and will cost a fortune. For outdoor buffets, this can be presented in the hollowed out watermelon shell and a ladle. Guests can pour on their own glass.

Using an electric blender with crushed ice will produce fresh and cooling drinks. An electric blender is a popular appliance in the small kiosks of the Middle East as it creates cold drinks. One of the popular drinks is called “fakfakhir”. Crushed ice with at most four fresh and juicy fruits in the electric blender will produce an invigorating drink. Optionally, this can be topped with an ice cream. An apple and orange combination is also a good mix but just drain out the solids before serving. Dairy can always be added to the fruits as it makes the drink creamier.

Consider too using coffee, malt, tea, or chocolate with crushed ice. The possibilities are endless with an electric blender.

With an electric blender and crushed ice in the house, anyone can have a variety of refreshment. It is cheaper and healthier than buying a cold soda.
