Cooks' Note

Cook's Notes:

Head to the farmers' market for peak-season fruit. Freeze the fruit in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid. Purée ingredients in a blender until smooth and very thick. Divide among glasses and serve.

Cold Facts:

The drier the ice, the better. Melting ice makes for a watery cocktail.

No need to upgrade your blender. The old one will do the trick just fine.

Texture Matters:

Frozen drinks should look too thick when poured into the glass. They will loosen immediately.
