These fun drinks are packed full of vitamins and look delicious too!




Berry-licious Lime Rickey

 Yield:  8-10 Servings

Ingredients  






  • 1 1/3 cups pomegranate juice (no sugar added)

  • 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 6 Strawberries chopped

  • 1 cup raspberries chopped

  • 8 cups club soda, chilled

  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 medium limes)

  • Lime slices, for garnish

  • Ice

    For kids & those who like it the non-alcoholic way, put a FUN Swirl straw in their drink with lots of fresh berries on top for picking!

    For the adults in your group who want it with alcohol – add 1 shot of vodka or flavored vodka to their drinks & stir.


Instructions

1.  Heat the pomegranate juice and chopped berries in a small saucepan over medium heat until steam rises from the surface and a few bubbles have formed around the perimeter of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

2.  Add the sugar and stir until it has dissolved and the mixture is no longer cloudy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the orange-flower water (if using) and let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

3.  Pour the chilled pomegranate-berry syrup, club soda, and lime juice into a 6-cup pitcher and stir gently to combine (stirring too vigorously will deflate the fizz). Float lime slices in the pitcher. Serve over ice with additional lime slices.

Honeydew Melon Bellini

Yield: 8-10 Servings

Ingredients

  • 5 cups of diced honeydew melon, about ½ of a large melon
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the melon
  • 1 bottle of chilled sparkling cider, club soda or sparkling water
Instructions

1.       Combine the diced honeydew melon with the lime juice and sugar in a blender and blend until you obtain a smooth puree.

2.       Strain the puree, chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.

3.       Pour the honeydew melon puree into champagne flutes or kid friendly cups, no more than half full.

4.       Add the sparkling cider, club soda or sparkling water, pouring it gently to avoid making a bubbly mess.

5.       Stir lightly and serve immediately.   A nice skewer of melon or berries adds extra flare!
