A Refreshing Taste of Summer

 

Don't you love summery recipes that you can still make whether it is actually summer or not? These two drinks recipes fit into that category.


Easy Strawberry Lemonade

Ingredients:

1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
4 1/2 cups water
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries, partially thawed

Directions:

In a large pitcher, mix together lemonade concentrate and water. Stir in strawberries.

Notes: Strawberry lemonade doesn't get any easier than this, folks!


Cucumber Punch

Ingredients:

2 medium cucumbers
3 cups water
1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 liters diet ginger ale, chilled
4 1/2 cups diet grapefruit or citrus soda, chilled

Directions:

With a zester or fork, score cucumbers lengthwise; cut widthwise into thin slices. In a large pitcher, combine water and lemonade concentrate; add cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Just before serving, transfer cucumber mixture to a punch bowl; stir in ginger ale and grapefruit soda.

Yield: 25 servings (4-3/4 quarts).

Notes: This is so good. You wouldn't think that cucumber and lemon would go together that well, but it really does.

  1. We usually serve water for Sunday dinners because the meals are just so big or so rich. But every once in a while, you just like a good beverage. Both of these really fit the bill. I was amazed that even the kids really liked both of them. Very easy.

    And, yes, some of those names are really good. I've never submitted one to All Recipes, but I've used plenty of them. A really good website, although the user comments aren't always helpful. I don't like when they completely change the recipe, rate it on their changes, and then say it worked because of the changes.
