Heat index over 100°? No problem. 🌴🍸
This Ube Colada Martini will have you dreaming of tropical breezes with every sip. Made with vanilla vodka, ube syrup, pineapple juice, and a drizzle of coconut milk, it’s creamy, refreshing, and the perfect escape from the Florida heat.
I shook it up in my Elevated Craft® cocktail shaker, and the screw-on lid means no messy shaker mishaps. Even better? Shake it with crushed ice to create those tiny icy bits that make every sip extra frosty and delicious.
Who’s ready for a tropical happy hour? 🍍🥥💜
🌡️ What’s the temps where you are? Today in SW Florida it’s 93°, but feels like 108° with the humidity.
🔥🥔🧄 Creamy Parmesan Garlic Potato & Brisket Burnt End Sausage Skewers might just become your new favorite grill recipe.
Smoky, crispy potatoes paired with the rich flavor of Rancher’s Premium Brisket Burnt End Sausage & finished with a creamy garlic parmesan sauce is absolutely next level.
The best part? You can grab Rancher’s Premium Sausage nationwide at your local Walmart.
Recipe👇🏼
• 1 package Rancher’s Premium Brisket Burnt End Sausage�• 1¼ lbs mini potatoes (I used a mix of red & yellow) **�• Skewers-I prefer the flat bamboo ones so your food does “spin” on the skewers. Soak in water for 10-20 minutes to help prevent them from burning.
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:�• 1 tbsp butter�• 2–3 cloves garlic, grated�• ½ cup heavy cream�• Pinch of salt�• Black pepper to taste�• ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Melt the butter & sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, salt, & pepper, then let simmer for a few minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese until smooth & creamy.
Thread potatoes & sausage onto skewers & grill over live fire for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender & lightly charred. Baste with the garlic parmesan sauce during the final minutes of cooking, reserving extra sauce for serving.
**NOTE-slice the potatoes thin so that they cook faster. When skewering don’t pack them too tightly. If you don’t have a mandolin and your potatoes are a little thicker, you should par cook the potatoes a bit first.
Simple ingredients. Big flavor. Perfect for summer grilling season. 🔥
