Instructions

For the Goat Cheese Crostini:

  1. Preheat Oven 350 degrees F.
  2. Slice a loaf of Italian or French bread to a ¼ inch thickness.
  3. Place on a baking pan and brush with olive oil seasoned with fresh ground sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  4. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until a slightly golden color is achieved.
  5. Heat a small dry cast iron frying and gently toast the pignoli nuts to a beautiful golden color, then set aside.
  6. Combine the goat cheese, blueberries, cream cheese and seasonings in a bowl and using a hand mixer or food processor mix until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is a bit stiff add a tablespoon of milk, one at a time to achieve a creamy, whip cream type of consistency.
  7. Place a dollop of blueberry spread on the crostini, top with a fresh blueberry that has been rolled in the Stirrings Sugar Mixture, toasted pignoli nuts and the shredded fresh basil.

For the Cosmopolitan Slushies:

  1. To begin, dip each cocktail glass in the Stirrings Cosmopolitan Rimmer, and set aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker (or chilled glass with a lid), combine vodka and Stirrings Cosmopolitan Mixer and shake well.
  3. In a cocktail glass, add shaved ice and pour the cosmo over. Garnish with blueberries, basil, and a slice of lime. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For the blueberry garnish, simple roll fresh blueberries in the Stirrings Cosmopolitan Rimmer and skewer on toothpicks.
