With New Year’s Eve approaching, it seemed like the perfect time to work on a healthy Thermomix cocktail recipe for the blog.
Gin or Vodka based drinks are the “skinniest” and healthiest choice, of you are choosing to drink alcohol.
While this recipe does still have sugar in it, it is significantly reduced compared to the 1 cup of sugar I have seen in similar recipes!
Sarah and I enjoyed drinking this for breakfast last week, and certainly found it sweet enough.
You can also enjoy this as a virgin Thermomix cocktail without the alcohol, as well as frozen as ice blocks.
