Since I am spending the next couple of days by the pool, I decided to recreate some of my favorite drinks that I've had this year! These are all non-alcoholic, refreshing drinks to take out in the heat and cool off with!
The first is a tasty Mango Lemonade that I got at the Spa at Solage in Calistoga, Ca. The others are drinks that I ordered while in London in March! There's a restaurant called Comptoir Libanais that we ran into to get something to drink as we walked. I ordered the Roza (Rose-flavored Lemonade) and KB ordered the Roomana (Pomegranate Juice with Orange Blossom) and they were both sooooo good! So I looked up the menu and found the ingredients and got to work! These are all super simple to make and can be made to taste (NO MEASURING! YAY!). It's a pour-everything-into-a-glass-and-stir recipe!
What you'll need:
Mango Lemonade:
- Lemonade
- Fresh Mango (Pureed)
- Peel a mango and cut it into smaller pieces. Put it into a blender and puree until you have a paste.
- Pour your desired amount of lemonade and add in a few spoonfuls of mango. Mix it all up until well combined.
- Do a taste test and add more mango until you're happy!
- Garnish with lemon slices!
Rose Lemonade:
- Lemonade
- Rose Water
- Half a lime (juiced)
- Fill your glass 3/4 of the way with lemonade.
- Add in your lime juice
- Fill the rest of the glass with rose water and stir until combined. (This recipe is to taste, so if you're unsure about how much rose water you want add a little less, taste and then add more until you're happy with the flavor!)
- Garnish with lime slices!
Pomegranate & Orange Blossom:
- Pomegranate Juice (I like Pom because it's 100% pomegranate and not a cocktail.)
- Orange Blossom Water
- Fill your glass 7/8 of the way with pomegranate juice.
- Fill the rest with your orange blossom water! (want more orange do less Pom and more OB Water!)
- Stir until combined, add a straw and enjoy!
Love you bunches,
