you are already familiar with my lemonade with rosemary recipe.
here’s another idea from Resiliensea (day 257): “The ‘fancy drinks’ I concoct follow a simple recipe: ice, tonic water and whatever appropriate ingredients I can find in the fridge/ garden. Things that work: Cantaloupe / Basil / Limeade / Cucumber / Raspberries / Lemon juice / Seltzer water / Orange juice. I don’t measure anything because if a craving hits, I need something fast that does not require thought. Then I have to slow down and actually taste the drink to decide if it’s good or sucky. Usually it calls for a second serving. Then I’m full, and much of the craving goes away.”
Doesn’t tonic + cucumber juice sound good? I have to admit that i drink a fair amount of tonic + apple vinegar (just one tablespoon added to a big glass of tonic).
ideas?
There is a New York Company called ‘Curious Elixirs’, herbs, spices and fruit –plus they ship!
I like to brew strong black tea and mix with club soda, clove, and a twist of orange.
always seltzer or some kind of bubbly water, then a probiotic drink like kumbucha like tart cherry or pomegranate or pineapple coconut! Yum and healthy. Also we have this drink called Kevita that is also a probiotic with lots of yummy healthy flavors.
Easy is just a lemon sparkly water with raspberry lemonade with fresh berries.
Hugs and Cheers to yummy alcohol (poison) free drinks.
My AF drinks are very simple, just iced herbal teas. I just discovered a lavender and lemon tea which is great iced, lavender is really relaxing and calming so I find a great replacement! Just recently I went to festival where I would normally drink and I found a place selling ginger limeade made from scratch it was AMAZING! Hit the spot!
I don’t know about cucumber juice… :/ Tonic water and cranberry juice is my go to.
My favorite AF drinks start with sparkling water. Here’s a couple of my favorites. Sparkling water with a large orange wedge, splash of bitters, and a cocktail cherry. A summer afternoon delight is sparkling water with about an ounce of mojito mix, a lime wedge and crushed mint leaves. I’ve started setting up an alcohol free bar when I entertain–sparkling water and tonic, along side pretty bowls of citrus fruit wedges, bitters, Italian cherries, and herb sprigs.
Cheers!
Sparkling water, dash of ginger beer (the soft kind), fresh lime and mint.
