this board sucks hehe.   too bad.

 

Anyways, wondering if any of you girls have some non - alcoholic fun drinks.   I got two nice spigot (yea, too me a long time to figure out what that was too) jugs.   They are the glass jugs with a spout at the bottom.    I want to make a couple different drink and have them look pretty, thinking of sliced fruit inside or something.

Any ideas welcome.

 

Thanks ladies.

I like to put out jugs of water with big slices of lime or lemon in them...it looks really pretty and people usually flavor their water with lime or lemon anyway.

lemon cordial:

Make up a simple sugar syrup. Generally, this is half sugar and half water, so if you use two cups of water, use two cups of sugar. Having said that though, when I make a syrup, I usually reduce the sugar, play around with it to see how you like it. Boil the water and sugar together, stir to dissolve the sugar and let it cool.

Add the lemon juice. Add 50% juice to 50% sugar syrup. Make this mixture up and store it in a bottle in the fridge.

To make up the drink: in a tall glass, add ? glass, or less, of cordial (according to your taste) and fill the glass with cold water. Add ice cubes and mint if you have it growing. The cordial will keep for about one month in the fridge.

 My girls served it at my bachelorette party--  I am not much of a drinker but it also tasted good with rum or tequila in it!
