Divine Drinks

There is something wonderful about a good drink.  Here are some favorite recipes that are super easy.

Peach Drink

2 cans peach nectar

1 can apricot nectar

Mix together and serve with lots of ice.  We were served this drink every night at MalaMala Game Reserve in South Africa.  They call it "ranger juice".  Very refreshing and also healthy.  

Serves 4

White Grape Drink

This is my "go to" drink because it is so easy and tastes really good.

1 can frozen white grape juice concentrate

1 (2 litre) bottle Sprite

Mix in a punch bowl with lots of ice.  Serves 10-12.

Dad's Punch

A punch with lots of zip!

1 (12 oz.) can frozen Hawaiian's Own Mango Orange

1 (12 oz.) can frozen Dole Pineapple Banana Strawberry

1 (12 oz.) can frozen lemonade concentrate

3 litres Sprite or 7-Up

1/2 to 3/4 bag crushed ice

Let frozen concentrates sit out on the counter to thaw.  In a large punch bowl, put frozen concentrates and Sprite.  Stir.  Add ice and serve.  Serves about 20.

Brazilian Lemonade

This is a bit more work but it is the best ever.  From the girls at Our Best Bites.

1 cup sugar

6 cups cold water

4 juicy limes

6 T. sweetened condensed milk

Mix cold water and sugar; chill until ready to use.  Wash limes with mild dish soap.  Cut the ends off the limes and cut into eight wedges.  Place half of the limes in your blender.  Add half of the sugar water and pulse 5 times.  Place a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the strainer.  Dump the pulp and residue into the trash.  Repeat with the remaining limes and sugar water.  Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk.  Serve immediately over lots of ice.  Serves 4-6.

This doesn't keep so pulse in the blender right before you are ready to serve.
