Today I saw my first fall leaf. It was beautiful really, sitting on the ground all red and gold after a season of green. Fall is my favourite time of year, but as much as I am looking forward to sweaters and ciders... I am not ready to give up summer cocktails yet. So I made slushies, the alcoholic variation, natch.I can buy frozen raspberry pieces at a local market - much less expensive than whole raspberries and worth keeping an eye out for. Cheers!

I am always on the lookout for a good TGIF cocktail. I keep frozen raspberries on hand, though I don't have vanilla vodka. That can easily be remedied...by next Friday! I'm stubbornly refusing to welcome Fall...not just yet.
YUM! I adore that stirrer, too...hangin' on as long as possible ;)
Yum! Now you've got me thinking about other flavors--strawberry, peach... =)
Debbie - you could always add a touch of vanilla extract - although it is fun to have the different flavours!
How much fall do you get in Cali?
Girli - thanks! I love fun stirrers and stix.
Di - yum! Absolutely - peach sounds especially wonderful right now..
