[what's cookin'] Frozen Spiked Lemonade

When the mercury rises here in Southern California, I like to relax on our back patio with a frosty beverage. As the temps got up to a sweltering 88 degrees Fahrenheit (no giggles from you, Arizona and Texas), I blended up a batch of yummy to cool off tonight. Want to try your own frozen Tom Collins?  Here you go:

Frozen Tom Collins/Spiked Lemonade

1/4C water
6oz quality gin 
2oz Cointreau (friends don't let friends drink triple sec)
3 lemons--peeled, halved, seeded
1/4 cup sugar
6C ice

If using a high powered blender, throw all the ingredients in and blend for a minute or so. Otherwise, add everything but the ice and blend until liquified. Add ice (in batches, if necessary) and blend. 

Pour and enjoy!

    1. It is wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. I highly recommend enjoying it while sitting on a porch swing, or hammock. :)
