Refreshing drink recipes

[mommytotwo]

With the warm/hot weather here or approaching for some, I thought it would be nice to share some refreshing drink recipes with each other.


I particularly am looking for a smoothie or milkshake recipe since I have vanilla ice cream, and strawberries avaliable.


Feel free to share, and add any tips for everyone to enjoy.

Our family favorite is Sherbert Punch. In a punch bowl, add in half a carton of sherbert-(rainbow). One 2 liter bottle of Ginger Ale, Sierra Mist, or Sprite, and Passion Orange Guava juice or similar-about 1/2 a gallon. Mix all together, and enjoy.


We also like the basic Coke floats.....

I've never had much luck making my own smoothies (possibly because I've never spent the $ on a nice blender), but I really love Jamba Juice's white gummy bear smoothie! I wonder what's in that one.. either way, it's delicious! My MIL gave me a smoothie cookbook for my birthday last year and I tried a few recipes, but greatly failed!

Jamba Juice, and Starbucks are my addiction! I have never tried the white gummy bear one before.

Make a normal vanilla milkshake. Add a TBS or amount to taste, of Instant Espresso.

Instant Cafe Aulait.

Would love to hear how other people make their smoothies
Usually just juice, ice, strawberries and a very ripe banana. Sometimes use frozen strawberries and less ice. Favorite juice is Cran-pomegranate. This comes out the consistency of a strawberry daiquiri. Have also added strawberry yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream for an extra treat.
Sometimes use frozen peaches, plain or peach yogurt, banana, can add a small amount of milk as well if to thick.

I highly recommend trying the white gummy bear! It's amazing! Very sweet, yet still very fruity. It's on their not so secret "secret menu".
