Seahawk Champagne Slush

It’s BLUE Friday! Seattle Seahawk Blue!

 OMG! I’m so excited! 

Super Bowl Sunday can’t get here soon enough!

Come Sunday, the Seahawk nation will flock  to television screens 

big & small…to cheer on their HAWKS!

That’s when the Seattle #GoHawks take on…some team from Denver.

Anyway, I wanted to celebrate the Super Bowl with a SUPER simple and effervescent blue dessert.

I call it Seahawk Champagne Slush. It’s a grown-up take on the

slurpee.

It starts with 1/4th cup pretty Blue Curacao liqueur.

Then I add:

1-1/2 cups dry champagne, 1-1/2 cups vanilla bean simple syrup

{ Simple Syrup: 3/4 cup granulated sugar to 3/4  cup water,

plus 1 vanilla bean scraped. Simmer on the stovetop, strain & chill }

and 1 cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice.

 Ya just mix it all up in a pitcher…

pour it into a shallow dish and pop it in

the deep-freeze for a few hours or overnight. This is so simple!

Once frozen, scrape it with a fork to create the

Seahawk slush and

spoon into fun little glasses with striped straws.

Isn’t it a cool shade of blue?!

BTW, loving the Touchdown Placemats I picked up

at Metropolitan Market! And why not?

This has been an incredible Seahawk season,

the 12th man, #LOUDER, the build up to Super Bowl Sunday,

Sherman, #HustleLikeRussell, Derrick Coleman Jr., #BeastMode,  #LegionOfBoom,

 #PercyHaveMercy, the no.1 rated defense in America pitted against the no. 1 rated offense…

It’s historic and Super Bowl Sunday is going to be

EPIC!

Okay, I’m praying Seattle will be poppin’ champagne corks for real!

Good luck & God bless Seattle Seahawks,
