“Mom, can you make that orange frozen drink thing you made that one time? It was really good!”

Sure I can. It’s a Strawberry-Citrus Frappe, made a couple of years ago for a sweltering afternoon.

But today in the fruit bowl I see tangerines, and a Meyer lemon from our tree out back, and half a container of fresh raspberries. Let’s see what we can whip up with that.

A quick whirl in the blender, and yep, that’ll do, quite nicely.

I give you Tangerine Raspberry Citrus Cooler, for the win!

And if you are not yet convinced of the deliciousness of the Tangerine Raspberry Citrus Cooler, my neighbors Leila and Judah Taub whipped it up today after they saw my blog post. The thermometer hit 99 degrees here by early afternoon, and you can see how happy they are to have it in hand!

This is a genius flavor combination Dorothy! I absolutely love tangerine and it probably pairs with raspberries even better than orange.
