Method
 

Instructions for Berry Smoothie Blend
  1. Start by placing 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, and 1 ripe banana into your blender. Secure the lid tightly to prevent any splashes as you blend.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of almond or coconut milk, adjusting as needed for the desired creaminess. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add sugar to your liking at this stage.
  3. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is silky and uniformly smooth. If it appears too thick, add a splash more milk.
  4. Gently add ¼ cup of tawny port. Blend for just 10-15 seconds to incorporate the port without overpowering the berry flavors.
  5. Pour your Berry Smoothie Blend into tall glasses, filling them generously. For an added touch of elegance, float a splash of dark rum on top just before enjoying.
