Declare August 1-8 Refreshing Beverage Week and Get People to Post Recipes for Their Faves!

GREAT idea, Sally! Not only did I learn some new recipes, I was reminded of some old ones I used to love.

1 part fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 part simple syrup (sugar dissolved in hot water, then cooled)
2 parts water

Serve over ice.

For a delicious variation, squish some mint leaves into the bottom of the glass first.

that I really love Diet Coke, even though it is horrible stuff that no one should ingest.

that I had to sign on.

My favorites run the gamut. One of my favorite healthy nonalcoholic ones:

Lime Squash

Glass full of ice
Splash of Rose’s Lime Juice
Wedge (or more) real Lime, Squashed (natch!)
Fill to the brim with Sparkling Water

YUM! Very refreshing!
