CAN YOU FREEZE FRUIT COCKTAIL?

All of the fruits in this cocktail can be frozen, but usually used to make fruit smoothies or fruit desserts. i would not reccommend freezing this fruit cocktail because the texture will suffer.

VARIATIONS

Besides the taste of amazing fresh fruit, the zesty honey lemon dressing makes it zing and helps keep the fruit fresh.

  • If you donot like the honey lemon zest ingredients, you might consider squeezing some lemon and adding a few sprigs of mint.
  • If honey is not your thing, you can use any liquid sweetener of your choice.

This recipe can be made with the fruit you like best; it’s versatile. Don’t like apples? Then you can leave them off. Prefer bananas? Then drop some in. It really depends on your taste and choice of fruits.
