Marissa's MediterraneanA surprisingly creamy and refreshing sunshine-colored cooler that uses a touch of olive oil for a silky mouthfeel and a hint of Mediterranean flair.
Place the sliced nectarines, lemon juice, honey, and water into a high-speed blender.
Keep the skins on the nectarines for extra fiber and a deeper golden hue!
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy.
If it's too thick, add an extra splash of water.
While the blender is running on low, slowly drizzle in the teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the drink.
This is the secret to that professional, velvety texture!
Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Drink up!
For the best flavor, use a high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. The spicy notes of the oil actually complement the sweetness of the fruit! If you don't have nectarines, peaches or apricots work beautifully too. Always serve immediately to keep that vibrant color.
