You know the commercial: a gruff voice announces that lemons always get a bad rap, as one lucky lady sips on the newest McDonald’s delight, the Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Does it tempt you as much as it does me? I get *this* close to jumping in the car and driving down to the nearest ‘Golden Arches’ before I remind myself of all the sugar and hundreds of calories that this thing packs in such a small cup. I was craving that frozen concoction something fierce, so it was truly fate when this recipe floated through my inbox last week.
It’s not speckled with that famous red berry, but a pretty popular blue one instead. I urge you to try this as soon as humanly possible… just don’t blame me if you become as addicted as I have.
