Passionate Bubbles

Day 364

Passionate Bubbles

5 shots out of 5

Today is the kids last day of school for the week.  


We now get 5 days off for President's weekend.  5 days!!  


I'm not completely sure that we even got a day off when we were in school and if we did it was only Monday.  


Last year my kids got Friday and Monday off and this year Thursday through Monday off. Budget cuts is what I am assuming the extra long holiday is all about, either way it'll be nice to have them all home for a few days.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  


With tomorrow being Valentines Day I figured why not create another simple but delicious Valentine cocktail.  


I have to say, Passion Fruit puree goes AH-MAZE-ING-LY with champagne!  Yumm!  I am really enjoying my little creation here.  This cocktail is definitely worth a try, or two......shoot three tries is good too.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is my recipe for Passionate Bubbles: 

• 2 1/2 oz champagne
• 2 1/2 oz passion fruit puree

In a champagne flute, pour in both ingredients.  Stir up your mixture to get the puree to blend in completely with the champagne and enjoy!!

Here is to the two remaining days left of my year challenge.

Cheers!!

Red Passion Cream

Day 126

Red Passion Cream

4.5 shots out of 5

I have seen a few cocktails that ask for vanilla ice cream as an ingredient in them in the last 126 days, but I haven't had any in the freezer to make them with.  


Today while shopping, I remembered about it and rushed over (OK, maybe I didn't rush, but I definitely kept repeating it in my head so that I wouldn't forget it) to the freezer section to pick up a carton.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4.5 shots out of 5.  


I sat down at my computer to find a blended recipe that asks for vanilla ice cream and 3 minutes later I gave up and decided to just create something myself.  


I pulled out my blender and looked at my purees and I guess the Passion Fruit Puree was raising its hand the highest because that's the one I chose.  


This cocktail is creamy for sure!  You will be able to taste the creaminess in this cocktail the most, but that isn't a bad thing!  

I have only tasted passion fruit a handful of times in the past and am always surprised by it's taste......it's flavor is hard to describe, but I enjoy it.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is my recipe for a Red Passion Cream:

• 1 shot coconut rum
• 1 1/2 shot passion fruit puree
• 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 shot grenadine

In a blender add a cup of ice and all of the ingredients listed above.  Blend them all well until the ice is gone.  Using ice cream makes the blender blend it up good.........and then sometimes a bubble will be formed in the middle, so you'll have to turn off your blender and shake it or push it down a bit to finish the job.

I like it when I create a cocktail and it actually tastes good!  Cheers to our own homemade cocktails!!

Tangy Passion

Day 81

Tangy Passion

4 shots out of 5

Sooooooo, I got a couple new purees!!!  

Hip hip hooray!  

Utter excitement for me!  

One of which is Passion Fruit Puree.  

It's a bit tart........wow.  

I pulled out the blender and decided to see if I could make a simple blended cocktail using my Passion Fruit Puree and.........Tangy Passion was born.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5......but I have to say, not every sip tastes the same.  

Some are really limey and others are more enjoyable.  

I keep going back and forth on whether I want to give it a 3.5 or a 4.  

I have had more 4 rating sips then 3.5 sips, so I'm going to stick with 4.  

I think next time I might add some cream of coconut or something like that in it to give it a bit of a different taste, but for now, I will surely be finishing this cocktail.  

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for Tangy Passion:

• 1 1/2 shots rum
• 2 shots Passion Fruit Puree
• 1/2 shot lime juice

In a blender add 1 cup of ice, rum, passion fruit puree and lime.  Blend it up real well until all of your ice is gone.

Here's to my first run with the Passion Fruit Puree & Cheers to another week of cocktails!!
