Summer surrender is not about packing on those calories by ceding to the call of ice cream shops. It’s about simply quenching your thirst, about feeling cool as a cucumber..the way you feel when you’re surrounded by the air of mysticism that stems from the salt crystals at the Galos caves. Try our cholesterol-free, low-cal, Very Berry treat — ice shaved to a glassy ruffle in your food processor or blender and topped with a strawberry sauce that you can whip up in a flash — just macerate a bunch of juicy berries with sugar, add a squirt of lemon juice and a pinch of salt, blend and strain. A splash of vodka and a dash of rock salt, if you so please, would round it off perfectly well. Cradled in a paper cone, this dairy-free chuski is best slurped on outdoors, standing, perhaps slightly bent over..as your porch takes in the red drippings..and what should follow, unshakably then, is a sprinkler spin, with Quashie crooning “I like to move it..” in the background..
