    G'day Power of three charmed girl,

    Thank you for your question.

    You can make both alcoholic and non-alcholic drinks using a blender. Smoothies are a good non-alcoholic drink. Pina coladas, daiquiris and margaritas are good alcoholic drinks.

    Here are some tips on making smoothies from rec.food.cooking.

    "1) Freeze your seasonal fruit so you have a ready supply handy. It's cheaper and you can select fruit at its height of ripeness.


    Bananas - slice very ripe bananas, make a single fairly thin layer of them in a one gallon freezer bag and freeze. (place toweling on both sides if you stack things on top so it protects the bag. You can remove the bananas, break off what you need and return it.


    Berries - place on cookie sheet so they aren't touching. Freeze, then remove to freezer storage bag. (strawberries are the best! blueberries
    are good as well, very high in fiber)


    Stone & tropical fruit - cube and freeze like berries. (peaches, mango and pineapple are very good)


    2) Bases - Keep chilled in the fridge.


    Milk, Vanilla Flavored Soy or Rice Milk, Almond Milk (YUM!), Juices (I prefer mango and/or pineapple juice)


    3) Additions
    Yogurt, Sherbet (remember that it has added sugar), Protein Powder, Juice Suppliments and Greens - even Bee Pollen.


    How to make a smoothie:
    Pour approximately 8 oz. of base (or combinations - like 1/2 and 1/2 juice and soy milk) into a blender. Make Additions per package
    instructions (a serving scoop is usually included) or a 1/4 cup (good dollop or small scoop) of yogurt, sherbet or frozen yogurt. Add fruit in desired amounts depending on how many you are using - As an example for
    a mixed smoothie I will add 4-6 large trawberries, a 3 x 3 inch chunk of the frozen bananas (broken up) and a 1/4 cup of frozen pineapple chunks. Blend well until the consistency is thick and smooth, almost to
    the point where you might want to eat it with a spoon. If it becomes too thick/frozen right away to adequately break up the fruit, add a SMALL
    amount of liquid through the top of the blender while it's on until it starts to smoothly blend again. Remember, you want these very thick and
    smooth.

    Pour into a glass, add a straw and VOILA, it's just that easy!"

    I have attached sources for your reference.

    Regards

    4 oz yogurt (plain or any flavor)
    6 strawberries and or 1/4 cup blueberries
    1 cup 2% milk
    1/2 cup any flavor juice

    Blend and enjoy.

    On a hot summer day use frozen fruits and serve in frosted glasses or mugs.

    Adult drinks: add favorite liquor.

    I use two handfuls of fresh spinach, a hand full of blueberries, a handful of mixed berries, and handful of tropical fruit, two bananas, orange juice, a little milk, a cup of yogurt with whatever kind of fruit comes in it, a little water, and blend it all up. It tastes wonderful and it's very very healthy. I've been making this everyday all week.
