Start by peeling a nectarine then blending it in a food processor until it is silky smooth.
Then add about 3/4 of the pulp into the mason jar.
Top the pulp with one shot of vodka or 2 if you like it stronger. Next add a few raspberries on top.
Ice filled the jar about 3/4 of the way up,
and cold club soda topped ‘er off. Shake, shake, shake…shake, shake, shake…shake your chill-er. Shake your chill-er!
You can top off the chiller with more raspberries and sliced strawberries, I’m pretty sure it’s considered health food.

Hibiscus-Tequila Spritzers
1/2 cup jamaica petals
2 cups water
ice cubes
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 cup tequila
juice of 2 limes, plus 6 lime slices or wedges for garnish
about 1 quart sparkling water
In a stainless steel saucepan, bring the jamaica and water to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover and let steep for 10 or 20 minutes. Carefully (it's very stainy!) strain through a fine mesh sieve and into a quart-sized jar or measuring cup, pressing on the flowers to extract all the liquid. Add the agave and stir to combine. Add ice cubes to the mixture to increase it to three cups, and let the ice melt, stirring, until the mixture is cold.
For 6 drinks: Add 1 cup of tequila and the juice of two limes to the mixture. Fill six glasses halfway with ice cubes, divide the jamaica mixture among them, and top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime slices and serve.
For single drinks: pour 1/2 cup of the Jamaica mixture into a cup filled halfway with ice. Add 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces/1 jigger) of tequila, add a squeeze of lime juice, and top with sparkling water. The jamaica mixture will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
