Mango with Chili Powder + Lime

Mango with Chili Powder + Lime // shutterbean

Take a bowl of chopped mango, squeeze some lime on top and finish with a sprinkle of chili powder and salt. Sweet, salty, spicy, tangy SNACK made in less than 5 minutes. Casey inhaled this yesterday…. which means it’s an EASY way to get someone to enjoy fruit!  Also- Mango Peeling Hack!  (why does that guy sniff at the end??!) (is he holding back the tears of joy?)

Boozy Cherry Slushies

Cherry Slushies for ADULTS with the help of Hangar 1 Vodka! Find the recipe at Shutterbean.com!

Boozy Cherry Slushies!

I have this habit of buying too much seasonal produce. Maybe it’s that I love a good value, or maybe I’m just overly excited/nostalgic for fresh seasonal fruit? Honestly, I think it’s just that I forget that I’m not supposed to go grocery shopping when I’m hungry.

Tale as old as time…..

Boozy Cherry Slushies // shutterbean

When I end up overbuying things like cherries, I use some of what I have to make syrups for cocktails. You have no idea how many mason jars I have in my fridge…It seriously looks like a science fair in there.  Sorry, Casey!  Today we have cherry syrup and it’s going to be one of the main ingredients in this Boozy Cherry Slushy recipe.

The other main ingredient is one of my favorite vodkas– Hangar 1 Straight Vodka.  This vodka has a slightly perfumey taste which lends itself well to the combination of cherry and lime.

Who needs artificial red food coloring and over sweet slushies when we can have Boozy Cherry Slushies made with homemade cherry syrup, cherry juice, ginger ale, lime and Hangar 1 Straight Vodka.?!!  My summer will be filled with these.
