Frozen Minty Lemon Apple Smoothie
This week's Sunday Supper is a refreshing and revitalizing Minty Lemon Apple Smoothie, a bright and invigorating blend that is perfect for the warmer weather. This is another recipe from our friends Maison Gabrielle, a French family-owned spice house providing exceptional spices from around the world to your kitchen by redefining gourmet luxury through the lens of culinary artistry and tradition.

Blended with ice and a touch of honey for natural sweetness, this smoothie is both refreshing and nourishing. For an elegant summer cocktail, simply add a splash of your favorite liquor-vodka for a crisp finish, gin for an herbal depth, or rum for a hint of tropical warmth. The result is a refined yet playful drink, perfect for warm evenings and effortless entertaining.
