Thirsty Thursday

WELCOME ! It's almost the end of the work week and I decided that I would share a recipe that a friend of mine shared with me last week. It's going to be hot here today and tomorrow and we all know it is important to stay hydrated, so this Strawberry-Pineapple Cooler is the perfect late afternoon thirst quencher. 

I am usually an iced tea drinker and I rarely stray from that other than my coffee, but this was a treat. I could not find strawberry sherbet so I used the rainbow sherbet that I had on hand, but it was still tasty!

Yield: 6 tall glasses

Ingredients

• 10 ounces frozen strawberries
• 20 ounces crushed pineapple
• strawberry sherbet (1 pint)
• vanilla ice cream (1 pint)
• Club soda

Instructions

1. Place half of the strawberries, pineapple, sherbet, and ice cream in a blender and blend for 1 minute or until smooth.
2. Repeat with the remaining half. Stir the two batches together in a large bowl.
3. Serve by filling a glass 2/3 full with the mixture, and then slowly add club soda to the top. Give it a small stir with the straw before sipping.
4. Optional: garnish with a pineapple chunk.
