Bridal Shower Beverages

I found these recipes on Pinterest and will have to go back to find the proper links.

Blushing Bride:

1 - 12 oz. Frozen Pink Lemonade
4 cups of white cranberry juice cocktail
1 quart club soda, chilled
Mint for garnish

Mix ingredients together and garnish with mint.

I could not find white cranberry juice so I went with regular cranberry juice and regular lemonade.  It still tasted yummy.

Sunny Future:

1 - 12 oz. frozen orange juice
1 - 12 oz. frozen lemonade
3 cups pineapple juice
2 cups peach nectar
1 liter ginger ale
5 cups ice cubes
slices of orange, lemon, and pineapple for garnish

Mix all ingredients together and garnish with fruit slices.

Fresh Lemonade

Fresh Lemonade

taken from Food.com - Barefoot Contessa

1 cup Fresh Lemon Juice

1/2 cup to 3/4 cup sugar to taste (I use 1 cup of sugar)

1 cup of crushed ice

4 cups of water

Put all ingredients in blender and blend.  Yummy!  A bit on the tart side so serving on ice will probably water it down a bit if you don't like to pucker.

Holiday Wassail

3 qt. hot water

1- 6 oz. can frozen orange juice

1-6 oz. can frozen pineapple juice

1-6 oz. can frozen lemonade

2 cups sugar

3 cinnamon sticks

Combine sugar and water; boil until sugar is dissolved.  Add frozen juices.  Place cinnamon sticks in double layer of cheese cloth and tie (or you can add sticks directly to mixture, just strain before serving.)  Bring to boil again after adding cinnamon sticks.  Then simmer for several hours.  

I have Torrie Nicholas to thank for this yummy holiday drink recipe.  I probably ask her for it every year.  I like to make it in my crock pot at school so I have a nice hot drink in between music classes.  My student aides always like it as well.
