Gin is our favorite summer libation. I have been enjoying this older drink that has come back in style. With lime and seltzer, this oldie but goodie makes the perfect summer drink. Hubs loves his Dirty Martini’s and I love a Gin and Tonic. But now, the Gin Rickey is my new favorite cocktail. It’s so refreshing and delicious, perfect with this summer heat. On these hot and humid days, just sit on the porch and cool off with a Gin Rickey or two and an evening breeze.

I received a bottle of Certified Organic Prairie Vodka for review, but was not compensated financially in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based solely on my experiences while recipe testing.
Summer days mean warm delicious days. Swimming pools, beaches and lakes. Blenders making frozen drinks. Craving frozen lemonade on these perfectly sunny hot days. A tub of frozen blueberries in the freezer and stepping it up with Certified Organic Prairie Vodka makes the perfect summer cocktail!
Sip this gorgeous drink slowly~ stay away from BRAINFREEZE!! I may have experienced something like that….
What you will need for this delicious cocktail: Frozen Blueberries, Frozen Concentrated Lemonade, sugar, Prairie Organic Vodka, Lemon for garnish. If using fresh blueberries, no worries: add ice.
Place all of the ingredients in the blender, pour into your favorite glass and serve. Garnish with a slice of lemon and umbrella! Happy Summer!
Prairie Organic Spirits offers 100% certified organic vodka, which is made from single vintage organic corn that gives Prairie Organic its award-winning flavor. Each bottle of Prairie Organic Spirits takes three years of meticulous work and provides an elevated cocktail experience that we can all raise a glass to. Their Motto is “Made with respect, from Seed to Glass”.
The fifth-generation of family distillers who run the Phillips Distilling Company have turned a new, green page with the recent release of Prairie Organic Vodka. This corn-based vodka is certified organic and kosher. All of the corn used in Prairie is grown by a co-op of 900 farmers in and around Benson, Minnesota where the vodka is produced.
From the corn to the stills to the bottling, Prairie is organic and has reduced the environmental impact of production significantly.
Making a frozen cocktail couldn’t be easier, just add all of your ingredients into a blender. If making a beverage kid friendly or alcohol free just leave out the vodka.

So I came up with a Mint Julep Granita, perfect for cooling you down after you have won 1st Place on your horse in the Derby! The Mint Julep Granita is made from a simple syrup infused with fresh mint, Kentucky Bourbon and Creme de Menthe, frozen and shaved. Simple and refreshing. 3 simple ingredients: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Creme De Menthe and Fresh Mint.
