Drink

To be sincere, the statement regarding the Homemade Orange Rosemary Iced Tea truly reflects my thoughts regarding iced tea. I would always go for plain black tea with lemon until one summer afternoon I accidentally added some freshly sliced orange and a sprig of rosemary. The drink was pure sunshine in a glass, sweet, fragrant,…

I have always been of the opinion that the finest drinks are created from the simplest ideas—such as the classic mixing with the tropical. This homemade pineapple iced tea is the result of just that kind of thinking. For hot afternoons, I wanted a drink that was refreshing, light, and just a little bit indulgent,…

Don’t laugh, but cocktails with a bite are my favorite, and the Orleans Hand Grenade tops that chart. The first one I had in New Orleans drastically came alive, name the “strongest drink” on Bourbon Street. As sweet, fruity and fun as the drink is, it slides up and takes you unaware. This is the…

To be honest, I think this cocktail is pure sunshine in terms of glassware. The first time that I prepared and tasted it, I thought, “This is how summer should taste.” Bright, citrusy, minty, and the perfect sweetness–it has Italian limoncello-inspired charm combined with a soul of a refreshing Cuban mojito. And let me tell…

So I’ll admit it, I have an obsession with this recipe. The first time I tried to pair coffee with banana, I honestly didn’t think people would care-loved berry smoothies and all that.

I’m going to be honest—this Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccino is one of my favorite things to make at home when I’m craving something refreshing yet fun. So bright, so fruity, so good, it really does taste like summer in a glass. In preparing it, I always feel like I am indulging myself with ridiculously fancy…

Introduction On one hand, I would confess, I have made innumerable smoothies in my kitchen, but the Banana Blueberry Smoothie Delight still has this timelessness. Creamy, naturally sweet, with a burst of berry taste, makes me feel like I’m drinking sunshine. Making it feel like I’m already doing something good for myself that morning is…

Remind me to be honest about one thing—I am a sucker for drinks that are as magical in appearance as they are in taste. The Ocean Love Colada Frappuccino is one of those. For me, it’s more than just a drink; it feels like sunshine and ocean breeze in one frosty glass. While making it…

Suppose I want to be frank with you: on a hot summer day, I can’t think of anything more that spells “instant happiness” than an ice-cold slushy drink. And when that slushie happens to be loaded with rum and flavored with cherry Coke sweetness? Now, we are talking about a drink that means summer fun…

My Take on This Recipe Cherry Coke has always tugged at my heartstrings; it is reminiscent, reviving and sweetly spells summertime for me. The day I learnt that making it a slush at home could turn my life around was heaven. You do not need a grand machine in order to do this, yet it…
