Diva's Delight

1 orange; peeled with segments pulled apart and frozen in baggy.
1 banana; peeled, sliced and frozen in baggy.
6 strawberries; peeled, sliced and frozen in baggy.
6 ice cubes
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup peach juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
about 1/4 cup of Diet 7-Up or Ginger Ale

Put the ice cubes and frozen fruit in the blender first.
Then add the juices and soda. Use the Ice Crusher feature on the blender until you can't hear the ice clinking around anymore.
Then blend on high speed until liquid thickens and is frothy.
Pour in tall iced tea glasses and serve with a straw. You can even garnish with a piece of orange or pineapple or a cherry on the side.

You can play around with this basic recipe and use other juices and fruits in different combinations. Orange juice seems to make the best base, but Iyou can use raspberry, apple, mango and passion fruit juices as well, plus frozen tangerines, tangelos, melon balls, and peaches. You really can't go wrong!

*This makes a great summer cooler as is, but if you want an exotic tropical drink to serve friends and family when you entertain, just add a shot or two of good rum to each glass before pouring in the fruit mixture.
