Blender Cocktails

Blended drinks somehow create an instant feeling of tropical vacation...with Daily’s mixers, they are also incredibly easy to make. Some tips:

• For a thicker, more frozen drink, add a little bit more ice than the recipe calls for.
• For a more liquid drink, add slightly less ice than the recipe calls for.
• When making frozen drinks, smaller ice cubes are easier to blend. Using crushed ice in blender drinks saves time as well as blender wear.
• The longer you blend, the smoother the drink will be. Just be careful not to overblend, which can make drinks melt more quickly and become watery. Most frozen drinks should be blended 45 to 60 seconds.
• For frozen blended drinks, keep liquor bottles in the freezer when not in use, and always start with a blender half-full of ice, then add more as needed.
• Always serve frozen drinks immediately after blending. If there is any left over, transfer to a chilled pitcher in the freezer and reblend before serving again (add more ice if necessary, or allow to warm slightly and reblend to get the right consistency).
• SHORT CUT: If you want frozen blended drinks, but blending them yourself is not convenient, try Daily’s Ready to Drink pouches (link) – they come in individual servings that you stick in the freeze and then squeeze right out of the pouch

Martini Madness

From TV stars to the local bar, it seems like everyone is sipping martinis.

The good news is, “martini” can mean just about anything, once you put it in that famous shaped glass. But these days, there’s even plenty of versatility in martini glassware sizes and shapes.

Here’s how we like to make them:

• Cold is good! Chill everything…your favorite spirit, your Daily’s, your martini glass, even your shaker if you like
• Shake strenuously…martinis are about the magic in the mix…the liquid will smooth out as you’re straining
• Drink responsibly! Good martinis are strong, and meant to be sipped (You want to look stylish, don’t you?)
• Show off! Everybody’s got a signature drink these days. Colors, tastes, textures, it’s all up for grabs
• SHORT CUT: Want a martini the easiest way possible? Daily’s Ready to Drink offers several varieties (with alcohol in them) in a super convenient cocktail box
