Tropical Strawberry Swirl Daiquiri
Nothing says summer like a nice fruity cocktail. This Tropical Strawberry Swirl Daiquiri already has the red and white, so all you need to add is a little blue.
You can leave this recipe be, or add a few fun blueberries on top, or a festive straw to really get the celebration going.
The great thing about this recipe, is that you can use most of the ingredients but leave out the alcohol to create a fun mock-tail or kid-friendly drink.
Strawberry and Brie Hand Pies
Pie is an American classic, and these adorable personal-sized hand pies are a great little dessert for the 4th of July holiday.
Our Strawberry and Brie Hand Pies are filled with creamy brioche topped with jelly, folded in a crispy golden crust. The fun star cut-out in the middle is a great festive touch.
They’re easier to make than they look with a cook time of just 35 minutes. These precious pies are sure to be the talk of your 4th of July gathering.
Red, White, and Blue Frozen Cocktail
Another fabulous cocktail to add to your holiday is our Red, White and Blue Frozen Cocktail.
This is a fun frozen drink sweetened with a little honey, and made with a layer of lemonade that is delightfully refreshing.
You can make these ahead of time and freeze them, so they can maintain their texture, and you can get the rest of your party prepped without worry.
Enjoy celebrating America’s birthday this year with fun food and drinks, and of course a touch of strawberries.
