6 Iced Fruit Dessert Cocktails For Indulgent, Refreshing Summer Evenings
Fruits are relished in summer because their vibrant, tangy and sweet tastes act as quenchers in the rising heat. Tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapple introduce a very welcoming sweetness whereas citrus fruits like lemons and oranges infuse a delectable tang on our taste buds to satisfy our craving for something light and rejuvenating in the warm weather.
Fruit desserts are made quite frequently during summers and most times fruits are also added to summer cocktail recipes particularly because of their refreshing qualities.
Sweet, tangy fruit desserts coming together with rum, vodka or tequila in the form of boozy desserts creates a heady combination that makes for a thoroughly decadent treat in summer weather. Iced dessert cocktails are nothing but innovative recipes unifying fruits and liquors in chilled sweet dishes that have a titillating effect on the tongue while prompting just a light hint buzz. Such cocktail desserts are ideal alternatives to serve at a leisurely summer lunch to close it off with a boozy finish.
Read on below to know more about some of the iced frozen dessert cocktails containing tons of fruit that can be prepared at your next summer party:
Tequila And Mango Sorbet Cocktail
A frozen dessert essentially prepared to relish its icy and chilled qualities, this is the perfect treat for summers especially when prepared with seasonal tropical fruity wonders.
You can craft a delicious summertime sorbet by bringing together ice with the most indulgent fruit of the season – mangoes. Use mango juice coupled with a generous splash of Don Julio Blanco tequila and some ice and blend it into a frozen dessert cocktail resembling an exciting summer tipple.
Garnish the frozen sorbet with mint sprigs to bring in a sharp and spicy element into the sweet and intense dessert.
Vodka And Key Lime Cocktail
Key lime pie made from lime juice, condensed milk and egg yolks is a delicious dessert that is best savoured cold in warm weather. You can make this pie just a tad boozier by blending the ingredients together with a splash of Ketel One Premium Distilled Vodka. Mixing the tangy notes of the lime with this potent spirit brings into the dessert a rather inviting flavour and tipsy touch, perfect for an indulgent offering in summers.
Berry Bash Smoothie And Rum Popsicle
When you are planning a sweet offering at a summertime pool party, you can actually come up with creative and colourful popsicles made out of berry smoothies. Blend strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with flavoured yoghurt. To this mix, add a generous pour of white or light rum so it becomes a boozy number which is then frozen in little moulds until it turns into an inviting popsicle that can be handed out as a dessert at your informal gathering.
Fruity Tiramisu Martini
Tiramisu is popularly prepared using ladyfingers soaked in coffee liqueur and some mascarpone cheese. Prepare an iced tiramisu martini cocktail by blending coffee liqueur, a splash of premium Smirnoff Triple Distilled Vodka and some chopped up strawberries, raspberries or even mangoes for the fruity touch. Such a fruit filled chilled tiramisu cocktail can be served as a delectable dessert alternative to finish off a summertime dinner.
Rum Infused Coconut Cream Pie
In the tropics, coconut is used widely particularly during summers and monsoons to craft delicious, creamy desserts out of its sweet, white flesh. You can prepare a coconut cream pie cocktail by whisking coconut cream, simple syrup and vodka into a refreshing, chilled dessert. Add a dash of Captain Morgan Dark Rum to induce just a hint of a welcoming, boozy kick perfect for a light buzz in warm weather.
Frozen Piña Colada
Frozen cocktails can be prepared by blending a drink with lots of ice until it acquires a smooth and slushie-like consistency.
Piña coladas by themselves are decadent tropical cocktails prepared using lots of pineapple chunks, coconut cream and some light or white rum. Turn this fruity, creamy, indulgent mix into a dessert by creating a slushie that can be enjoyed after a particularly flavourful meal containing bold spicy flavours.
The creaminess and acidity of the cocktail will undercut some of the intensity of these intense flavours that made up your dinner.
