Tie your appetite time to tangy buttermilk coolers
St. Cloud Times (Saint Cloud, Minnesota) June 25, 1968
Some warm morning when your family-crew greets you with “Looks like a scorcher” instead of “Nice day,” you’ll know it’s time to stir up a batch of Buttermilk Coolers.
Nothing quite equals the thirst-quenching quality of icy-cold buttermilk whether you’re afloat or ashore. Old-fashioned buttermilk with golden flakes of butter floating in it, has long been a favorite refresher. Nowadays, buttermilk is dairy-made, so its flavor and quality remain uniform.
Just for fun, why not try it in various flavors and colors? You’ll get the same cool refreshment, with some .new taste appeal. We’ve mixed up a trayful that includes these flavors: pineapple, orange and lemon sherbet and tomato, They’re as cooling as a summer shower, as colorful as the rainbow that follows it.
Best of all, they’re simple to make. Just blend buttermilk, icy cold, with the juice or sherbet you use as seasoning.
Some of the coolers also call for a dash or salt or sugar. Serve these Buttermilk Coolers frosty cold. You can make them in advance and refrigerate until serving time. For a cool snack or a light summer meal, serve Buttermilk Coolers with those delightful open-faced sandwiches the Danes call “smørrebrød.”
Visitors to Denmark often come away feeling that the national pastime is pre-paring and eating these artistic and delectable sandwiches, and perhaps it is!
The word “smorrebrod” means “buttered bread.” and that’s the basis for each tempting sandwich.
As for the topping, you’re on your own. Use any combination of foods such as tiny shrimp heaped on lettuce and topped with a lemon slice; anchovy and hard-cooked egg slices on crisp chopped lettuce; Vienna sausages, split lengthwise, with bacon and minced mushrooms.
The sky’s the limit, so let your imagination soar and keep a weather-eye peeled for guests.
