My hometown is famous for a couple of things. Sooner Football and the Sooner Swirl. The Oklahoma Sooners football team - 7 time National Champions need no introduction. But I should introduce you to the Sooner Swirl. Similar to my Miami Vice Cocktail, the Sooner Swirl is a red and white concoction of frozen margarita and frozen sangria swirled together. Just about every restaurant around town serves one, and it is tasty. Especially on a hot game day! I saw a post a while back from the Ninja Kitchen folks that said if they choose one of your recipes, you could win a free Slushi Machine. I've tried desperately all summer to win one, because dang it, we want to make swirls. Of course we could substitute our blender, but we are dying to have two Ninja Slushi machines next to each other on our bar like our local restaurants. That way we could make Sooner Swirls at tailgate. Yes, Ninja makes a carrying case for the Slushi Machine, and I'm just crazy enough to haul those things to campus every Saturday this fall. The world needs to know about the Ninja Slushi machine, and they definitely need to know about the Sooner Swirl! One of the first things we made with our Slushi machine was a Frozen Sangria. Mr. Devilish Dish is a red wine lover and frozen sangria was the first thing he wanted to make. We cheated and bought a big jug of ready to drink sangria at the store. (By the way, those glass jugs are really cute and I hate to admit I have several in my garage just waiting for a crafty idea to pop into my head.) Mr. Devilish Dish just "doctored up" said sangria by adding some freshly squeezed fruit juice and a little club soda. The result was a refreshing concoction that has made numerous appearances on my patio all year. Now I just need the good folks at Ninja to bless me with a second machine so I can do frozen margaritas at the same time.
