My second blog this week is about a very refreshing drink recipe that is light and easy to make. It has a healthy anti oxidant twist with a hint of Compliments Lime and fizz from carbonated lime mineral water [1] along with Compliments Acai sour cherry four juice blend [2]. It can be made for the whole family and if you want add an ounce of vodka or whiskey to round it out for adults.
Acai Berry and Lime Fizz
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
½ cup (125 mL) ice cubes, crushed
1 lime, cut in half and sliced
3½ cups (875 mL) Compliments Acai sour cherry four juice blend [3]
¼ cup (60 mL) each fresh cranberries or berries and pomegranate seeds
1½ cups (375 mL) chilled Compliments lime carbonated mineral water [4]
4 sprigs fresh mint
In a glass pitcher add ice, lime half slices, acai juice and fruit. Muddle together with a spoon. Pour into chilled high ball glasses and pour in the mineral water. Top with mint sprig and serve.
This is a very fast drink to throw together and also it is not a super sweet drink. Its very clean flavours are perfect to cool you down on the patio this summer.
Yours in chilled patio drinks!
