PINK DRINKS and more.....


Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Soda





aren't these self-labeled bottles pretty?
fill with lemonade
 (I use Minute Maid LIGHT, only 5 calories)
& add a drop of food coloring to make these lovely pastels.

this link will take you to printable labels for the bottles...HERE  
there are a few different styles and all are adorable.


 White Sangria with Melons




  

½ cup sugar 
3-5 tablespoons brandy - 
1 (750-milliliter) bottle white wine, chilled - 
Melon  (watermelon, cantaloupe & honeydew), cubed
Grapes, halved
1 (1-liter) bottle club soda


1. In a large pitcher, stir sugar and brandy until paste-like mixture. 
2. Add wine and fruit. 
3. Refrigerate to keep chilled until ready to serve.
4. Pour into punch bowl and add club soda.

    Marsha, that pink lemonade sounds great. Remember the Pink Gin Fizz from 1950's or the famous Pink Ladies? yvonne

    Oh how I love pink lemonade, and ice cream soda. Can't say I ever thought of combining them like that, but I will have to try that.

    P.S. Thank you so much for the sweet, and thoughtful comment. It meant a lot.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
