Love your drink combos! My favorite lately is half Ocean Spray White Cran - Peach and half fizzy water I make in my Soda Stream machine. I make one of these when I have had all the plain water I can stand. I also often make my own coffee frappes because the shop I like now cost nearly $8 each. I put about a tray and a third of ice cubes, Fairlife fat free milk about 3/4 of the way up the ice cubes, a heaping spoonful of instant decaf, and 2 or 3 heaping spoonfuls of Ghirardelli powdered chocolate. Blend and put in Big Bubba cup with whipped cream out of an aerosol can. Keep creating the funny stuff, I look forward to all of it!
Love your newsletter. I should subscribe, shouldn’t I - okay, I will, especially since your drink section (as good as it is) made me realize how I’m saving money drinking orange juice mixed with fizzy tap water via the Sodastream.
When we were younger, we would always do half orange juice, half sprite. It was also good with the juice Five Alive but I don’t think they make that any more.
Blackberry flavored Southern Breeze Cold Brew tea is awesome! You can order the tea on Amazon. While you are at it, you might as well add the raspberry, cranberry, peach and all other flavors of boxes to your cart, too!
Funny you mentioned fizzy drinks in this week’s newsletter. Yes, anything alcoholic now gives me a headache and I’ve resorted to fizzy drinks. Made this for the 4th/long holiday: guava nectar, squeeze of lemon or lime, mint leaves and lime or lemon flavored sparkling water. Very summery!
Diane, thank you!! I love all your thoughts here!
We have the same toaster but I'm grateful to say that we do not also have a scary foam head judging us.
Oh, I'm MORE than happy to send the head to you! Make some space!
Nope nopety nope we’re good here

That all sounds fantastic! David (who also commented here) mentioned the Sodastream machine too! I'm intrigued... maybe I should get one!

Thank you, David! You made the right choice, sir. And I think I need to investigate getting a Sodastream!

Five Alive! I remember that! I just looked it up, and I think they don't sell it in the U.S. anymore, but they might in Canada...

Awesome! Thank you, Emily! : )

Ooooh! That sounds great! I’m going to try it!
Same, with the headaches! This thread is timely. 😀
I tried this drink and it was great!
Glad you liked it! I am making it again this weekend because… well, why not? It’s summer, it’s hot and I need a cool, fizzy drink. Cheers!!
