WHAT DO I MAKE...

Niti and I talked about my Citrus Fizz  this morning; she mentioned how it is a big hit in her friends circle and I have to agree - if I had to name one recipe that I have made the most number of times, this drink wins hands down! It is a good combination of flavors and I have managed to make a lot of twists and variations to this recipe. This drink was inspired by a cocktail that one of our friends served at my grad school farewell party - thanks Noor ! All that said, I have been wanting to experiment on some new flavors! A few new drinks that I have made in the recent past are watermelon-limeade and pom-cran-soda  (will post the recipes soon!). But in the meantime, check out these interesting mocktails I came across on some other blogs, definitely trying these very soon! Here are a couple from Tania's blog  - love the Italian Soda, the first on my to-do list; great pictures, Tania! Italian Soda Pic Source: TurtleCraftyGirl Melonade Pic Source:...

But then, Lemonade Day has an important and useful motive behind. It's a citywide event that encourages kids to set up lemonade stands thus introducing them to entrepreneurship.

Add the orange slices, lime slices, ice and serve!! Notes: If you are preparing the punch ahead of time, save the Sprite and ice for later. You don't want to lose the fizz or dilute the drink too much. You can also add mint leaves. If preparing ahead of time, add it along with the frozen juices and if you are serving right away, crush the leaves in a mortar pestle before adding. To kick it up a notch, mix in some vodka (250-500ml)!!! April 2, 2011 I twisted the recipe a little bit. This time it was frozen orange (1 can), frozen limeade (1/4 of the can), 3-4 tbsp of honey, 2" ginger (I crushed the ginger, ran it in the blender with some water and added it to the...
