Our summer obsession has been creating cocktails in our Ninja Slushi Professional Drink Maker. We're like Mad Scientists over here creating frozen drinks with varying levels of success. (Nothing is a true failure because they're still drinkable even if they are not perfection.) We've had great triumph with our Frozen Oklahoma Club Specials and Frozen Chi Chis (for National Pina Colada Day.) Sometimes we need a break from our libation laboratory and we just check out the Ninja Test Kitchen for interesting recipes they post. That way we know the recipe has been previously tested for frozen perfection. I'm a huge fan of St. Germain - it's a tasty elderflower flavored liqueur that pairs really well with citrus flavors like grapefruit and also compliments white wines like Prosecco and Sauvignon Blanc (Check out my Hilltop Crisp Martinis for the great combination of St. Germain & Sauv Blanc!) Similar to the Hilltop Crisp Martini, the Hugo Spritz is a refreshing floral Italian aperitif cocktail made with Prosecco, elderflower liqueur, soda water and mint. If you think that sounds refreshing on a hot summer day, then imagine that mixture in Slushi Form! It's not only a sophisticated-sounding cocktail, but the traditional lime wheel and mint leaf garnish are stunning on the eyes. This is one we will be making again for an afternoon on the patio!

| By the way, I have enough fresh mint leaves to garnish these cocktails for an eternity. |
