“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!
Tangerines, Meyer lemon juice and fresh raspberries whirl together into a frozen fruit slushy for an after-school or afternoon Tangerine Raspberry Citrus Cooler. Summer's coming!
Ingredients
- 3 seedless tangerines, peeled and strings removed
- 1 Meyer lemon, juiced
- 1/2 (6-ounce) container fresh raspberries
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon-ish agave sweetener
Directions
- Place tangerine segments, lemon juice, raspberries, ice cubes and a squirt of agave into a blender container.
- Whirl at high speed until well blended. Taste and adjust for sweetness, adding just a hint more agave if you need it. Don't oversweeten.
- Serve in a glass with a pretty straw if you're a food blogger. If you're not a food blogger, serve with any straw you can find in the drawer! Don't stress.
- Serves 1.

I have a serious love for these beautiful summery drinks…this is a must try!
I love raspberries! This is a perfect cool summer drink!
Ahhh! Definitely a winner…especially since I’m in the scorching temps we have in Phoenix. Ugh! This is so vibrant!
This looks so refreshing
This is a genius flavor combination Dorothy! I absolutely love tangerine and it probably pairs with raspberries even better than orange.
Thank you Alisa! It was soooooo good!
I can’t tell you how badly I’d love one of these coolers to beat the Phoenix heat 😀 Love that it’s family friendly, too!
Chrisy,
I totally understand. It was 99 degrees here today. We are fried.
This sounds and looks SO incredibly refreshing! What a great combination of flavors!
This smoothie looks wonderful. It looks like you have an excellent blender.
What a great way to cool off this summer!
This looks delicious! Perfect afternoon refresher!
Thanks Jen! It is 10:30 a.m. here and already 99 degrees, so this is going into the blender again today.
Oh man. I know what I’ll be making this summer to beat this Florida heat!
Ahhh, I LOVE tangerines! The raspberry-tangerine combo in this cooler is calling my name!
