Cheers!
My new summertime favorite drink! Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade. My own version of an Arnold Palmer.
Arnold Palmer Cocktail
makes 1
2 oz. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
4 oz. Simply Lemonade
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
lemon slices to garnish
ice
Fill small rocks glass with ice. Pour 2 oz. Sweet Tea Vodka and top with 4 oz. lemonade. If you would like, squeeze extra fresh lemon juice, give the glass a swirl and garnish with a lemon slice.
Sip cautiously...it tastes so good you forget it's vodka!
The siblings and I and Forbes went through two bottles of this vodka while they were visiting. Now don't go calling us crazy lushes...they were here for 3 evenings and there were 4 of us sharing those bottles. Despite that, it was still a feat and only demonstrates how delicious this drink is.
To accompany those cocktails I prepared a delicious meal for my guests. Vegan Stuffed Shells is my go-to dish when feeding vegan skeptics. This dish incorporates the most dubious vegan product, tofu, into a mouth-watering, savory meal that pleases all.
On the side I prepared Creamed Corn. We grew up with Creamed Corn from a can. It was one of my dad's favorites. And since I had two more Creamed Corn fans in the house, and I had just stumbled upon a homemade version of this canned delicacy, I just had to give it a try!
Creamed Corn
adapted from Eating Well
4 side servings
3 cups fresh corn kernels, divided
3/4 cup Almond Milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place 2 cups corn, milk, cornstarch and salt in a blender; blend until
smooth.
Transfer the puree to a medium saucepan, and add the remaining 1
cup corn.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the
mixture simmers and thickens and the corn is tender, 5 to 7 minutes
