Each year, the Bliss Kids and I go berry picking and try to freeze enough strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and marionberries to last us at least through the start of the new year. But kiddos: these Boozy Berry Smoothie Shots are not for you. These are Mom Smoothies, and they are divine!
This summer went so quickly, that we only caught the end of raspberry season, were able to load up on blueberries (although we only have two large bags left in our freezer), and didn’t get nearly enough strawberries.
Enter Oregon Fruit Products‘ Pourable Fruit topping. Oregon Pourable Fruit is made from all-natural, non-GMO ingredients, and is available in Raspberry, Strawberry, and Blueberry. Each Pourable Fruit is certified Kosher and gluten free, too! You can find these at Fred Meyer, and coming soon to Safeway and Albertson stores. They come to the rescue when you want the freshness of summer fruit in the fall or winter.
As our summer berry stash dwindles, I love having Oregon Pourable Fruit available for smoothies and parfaits, to top waffles, yogurt, and pancakes. And, for treats that are just for grownups, too.
Kiddos: these are not the smoothies you are looking for. These are Mom Smoothie Shots, and they are divine!
Boozy Berry Smoothie Shots
While I love making mixed drinks such as Cinnamon Ginger Highballs, cider cocktails, and champagne cocktails, I’m always looking for cocktail drinks that can be made for large groups all at once. When entertaining, it’s not as fun to have to tend to the bar all night making drinks one at a time. That’s why I LOVE the idea of cocktail shots.
This recipe makes approximately 10-12 Boozy Berry Smoothie Shots in double shot glasses.
The ingredients are simple: Oregon Fruit Products’ Pourable Fruit, almond milk, vodka, and bitters over ice.
I used Oregon Pourable Fruit in Pourable Raspberries, but you could definitely make this with Pourable Blueberries or Pourable Strawberries too.

Oregon Fruit Products
I’m a huge fan of Oregon Fruit Products, as I shared in this blog post. Last year, the kids and I had the most amazing experience visiting the Oregon Fruit Products headquarters in Salem, Oregon. We got to visit one of the blueberry farms, watch the berries being sorted and canned, and even had the pleasure of putting together some delicious desserts with CEO Chris Sarle.
Here’s another recipe I created last year using Pourable Fruit (formerly labeled as Berrst — don’t worry if you see the old label in stores, it’s the same product!): Berry Meringue Parfait
Cheers to Monday, friends!
Thanks to Oregon Fruit Products for sending me two Pourable Fruits to use for this recipe creation! All opinions and photos are, as always, my own.
Those boozy berry shots need to make their way to my next brunch with girlfriends. Thanks for sharing!!
Right? Perfect for brunch with girlfriends! Cheers :)
If I still drank, this would be the only way I would do a cocktail, methinks.
You could also easily make these without the vodka!
Definitely Mom smoothies. And they sound divine!
Thanks Erin!
I’ve been missing strawberries SO much. The other day my mom told me they had some at the supermarket for [insert exorbitant price here] and I SERIOUSLY considered it. lol. These shots look right up my alley, especially if I don’t put milk in them (or replace it with ice cream; I’m a milk hater).
I bet this would be great with ice cream!
I *LOVE* this product… I have some in my freezer, I just might make these shots with it! I had so much fun on the visit I made to OFP too! :)
Isn’t it an awesome product? Love it!
I’ve never seen the pourable fruit before, but now I’m on a mission to find some in my area!
They are fairly new and in Fred Meyer stores now but will be in Safeway and Albertson stores soon, and hopefully in more stores nationwide!
These sound SO amazing! I will definitely have to try making these!
Hope you enjoy them if you make them, Ashley! Cheers :)
I like the way you think!!! I grew up in Oregon and I’m a huge fan of the berries but have never stumbled across this wonderful portable fruit! I need to find it for sure. These nice little mom drinks would make the perfect treat for a girls night. Thanks!
You can find it in Fred Meyer, and soon in Safeway and, I believe also Albertson stores soon. These are awesome for girls’ night!
I love the addition of the grapefruit bitters – These sound delicious! Perfect for a Monday morning ;)
The grapefruit bitters add such a lovely taste. Thanks, Erin!
Now that is the perfect way to start any tailgate. Nothing like a smoothie shot to start the day.
These would be great for tailgating! Thanks, Ali!
Now this is a fruit shot I can get behind!
Cheers, Meredith! :)
Those smoothies look divine! I’m sharing your pain over berry season. Our freezer is usually overflowing at this time of year, but we’re almost completely out!
I know – we have two bags of frozen blueberries left, but we’re all out of raspberries and Marionberries. It wasn’t nearly enough of a season for berry picking this year :( Thank goodness for the Oregon Fruit Products!
These look delish!
Thanks so much, Nicole!
That sounds wonderful! What a nice “boozy” smoothie surprise!
Thanks, Rebecca!
These look awesome!! I love the idea of Mom Smoothies. Who doesn’t love a little drinking coupled with some nutrition. ;)
Jaimee good point about the nutritious aspect of this ;)
You got me when you said boozy. Never thought of making a smoothie with champagne but I love it.
I’ve made smoothies with champagne before too. This one has vodka and it’s just as delicious! :)
