Opps sorry didn't see the Aussie part.

I know it's probly not an OFFICIAL Aussie drink, but, I LOVE those Wallaby Darned frozen drinks from Outback Steakhouse.....YUMMY!

Peach Schnapps, Champagne, etc......

frannybee · Feb 17, 2003

NO idea what they are or if you can get them in Wales! Obviously we have schnapps and champagne, and I can always play with them in the freezer....

frannybee · Feb 17, 2003

Found a recipe, KC - will definitely be trying that one!

Cheers,

Grace.
