Great Summer Beverages Just in Time for Memorial Day #ad

Posted on the 24 May 2013 by Jamie Gall @50states50wines

Our friends over at Dole and Bevmo! have created two great beverage recipes just in time for Memorial Day.  I decided to put them to the test.

Disclosure: Ingredients were provided to me for free to try out this recipe. 

This Recipe titled “Low Calorie Blueberry Peach Cocktail”

1 Blueberry Dole Frozen Single-serve Cup
1 ounce Voli Light Vodka
2 ounces Lipton Dragon Fruit Peach Iced Tea
Squeeze of one lime wedge

*103 Calories if you eat the blueberries
*55 Calories if you don’t eat the blueberries

So, I decided to give it a try.  Although I wasn’t able to find the Lipton Dragon Fruit Peace Iced Tea, I did substitute with the Lipton Peach Tea.  And my oh my it tasted GREAT.  I definitely recommend trying out this cocktail recipe.

Voli Vodka is the first low calorie and fruit infused vodka out there.  The varieties come in original, Espresso Vanilla Fusion, Raspberry Cocoa Fusion, Orange Vanilla Fusion, Lemon Flavored Vodka and Mango Coconut Fusion.

The Dole Frozen Single Fruit comes in 2 pack combinations.  They retailed at 2/4.00 at the store and can be found in local Safeways, Albertson’s and Ralph’s Grocery Stores.

Varieties come in Blueberry, Strawberry and Pineapple, and add great flavor to your summer cocktail needs.

Another Great Recipe from Dole and Bevmo! is this one: (I have not tried this cocktail recipe!)

Low Calorie Pineapple Lemon Cocktail

1 Pineapple Dole Frozen Single-serve Cup
1 ounce Voli Light Lemon Vodka
2 ounces Glaceau Lemon Lime Sparkling Fruit Water
Squeeze of one lemon and one lime wedge

*98 Calories if you eat the Pineapple
*60 Calories if you don’t eat the pineapple

The low calorie blueberry peach cocktail tasted great and I’ll continue to make fun cocktails throughout the summer.  You could barely taste the cocktail in this beverage.  I had to test out the cocktail myself to make it tasted great before sharing with all of you.  This one is MN Girl in LA approved ;)
