Today is my Birthday.

I don’t like to celebrate birthdays, or most holidays, or basically anything that panders to corporate money grabbing schemes (don’t talk to me around Christmas!).

So in general, my husband and I don’t do cards and other birthday-ey stuff.

That said, I was craving black forest cake. And while I still plan on making my own cake tomorrow (I’m going to test out this recipe) I needed some satisfaction tonight.

So I turned to the blender…

The results speak for themselves.

Ingredients:

• One 10 oz. bag of frozen black cherries
• 3 Tbsp Coconut cream
• 1 can of coconut water
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp raw honey
• Dash of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)

Optional:

• 2 oz. switchel
• 2 oz. cherry bounce

And of course, 4-6 oz. good quality Vodka.

Toss everything in a blender and blend well.

Enjoy!
