#MIAMI VICE DRINK WITH ICE CREAM FULL#
The party continues this week and weekend with more graduation festivities, and after that it’s full time wedding mode – t-minus 1 month today!! So many great things happening, so many desserts to help celebrate! (Lots of exclamation points in this post, you’ll have to excuse my excitement for the next few weeks haha) We had a blast and I highly recommend Miami as a girls weekend destination if you need a getaway like we did. Erica Sweet Tooth soon enough!! We took this trip as an early graduation celebration, and it was very well deserved if you ask me :) Miami, specifically South Beach, is such a unique city with its art deco architecture and beach culture. And I’m very proud to say come Monday we’ll all be doctors, so you can start calling me Dr. I didn’t enter dental school thinking I’d make such good friends, but four years of sticking together through the ups and downs of the rigorous curriculum made us extremely close. My trip to Miami was for a long weekend with three of my closest friends from school. Just put on your sunnies, slip on your flip flops, and grab a spoon! Overall it’s an incredibly refreshing dessert that with enough imagination will immediately transfer you to the beach. I think the flavors work extremely well together, and the colors are really pretty too. I altered my strawberry margarita sorbet recipe a bit by subbing the tequila for rum and used it as a swirl throughout the pina colada base. Before this recipe I wasn’t even aware that all of those different forms of coconut existed, but now that I do I’ll definitely be going back for more. It’s the best choice for a frozen cocktail when you just can’t decide between the classics, and turns out it makes a great sorbet too!įor the sorbet I started with a pina colada base that included basically a whole pineapple and 3 forms of coconut – coconut water, coconut juice, and cream of coconut. If you aren’t familiar with the drink, a Miami Vice is half-pina colada, half-strawberry daiquiri. Since my best dental school girlfriends and I took a trip to Miami a few weeks ago, I thought Miami Vice would be a perfect flavor to commemorate our amazing mini-vacation. I decided to celebrate by breaking out my ice cream maker for the first time in 2013. It’s the first year in awhile that I’ve remembered having true spring weather with temps in the 70s, blue skies, and tons of gorgeous blooms.

It has been extremely beautiful here in Connecticut, I even got a tan sitting outside the other day, and we’re finally remembering why living in the Northeast isn’t so bad after all. I am so, so excited about the change in weather recently.
