Sky Juice Modified # 2: Blackberry & Orange Smoothie


Smoothies are easily the most refreshing drink one can make during a hot summer night. As long as you have a blender, no smoothie is impossible. Every time I walk past shops selling those diluted expensive drinks, I would just turn my nose up at those poor suckers who buy from them. Dun get me wrong, I used to be one of those poor suckers too. I bought it not because its delish, but because I am thirsty and lazy and couldn't be bother to look around for cheaper alternatives. Not till I made up my mind to buy a blender to make myself a refreshing thick yummilious full of nutrient smoothie, instead of those overpriced diluted slush.
I am going to share with you this yummy recipe to keep you refresh and energize for the day.
Blackberries and Orange smoothie
1 cup Frozen Blackberries
2-3 tbsp of orange concentrate from minute maid( you can sub with pure orange juice)
1/2 tsp of orange blossom water.
1/2 cup of warm water with 2tbsp honey.
* 2 tbsp of vodka (for the extra buzz)
Combine all the ingredients and give it a whirl, the end product is a thick slush of yummilious goodness.
The scent of Orange Blossom Water is essentially a warm floral note that can be cloying in concentration. Hence a light hand is needed. Its always good to use less than to use more of it.
