Friday Night Mocktails
It’s friday night and I am done with all my work for the day. Derek just got home too (yay!). It is a BEAUTIFUL summer evening. We have nothing planned tonight other than sitting in our backyard and catching up.
Aaaahh I love long and slow summer evenings!
To complete the picture, I decided to make a refreshing mocktail to sip on until the mosquitoes come out (or the little family of racoons that live in our big tree)
I totally just went through my fridge and realized that I have some nice ingredients for my celebratory friday-night-yay-it’s-still-summer-drink.
Carbonated Spring Water (Sodium Free no less, hehe!)
Frozen pieces of mango (left over from the fish tacos)
A couple of cute key limes (on their last legs)
Fresh ginger (chop up fine before putting into the drink)
And there you have a nice and refreshing little drink!
So if your week has been hectic and you are feeling squashed and depleted like the poor little key lime below, make yourself a little mocktail and kick up your feet. If anyone’s looking for me, I will be out on the deck…
you are SO fancy

Hi Nienke, slim idee om mango te vries. Gaan dit gerus doen sodra dit hier in die winkels is. En ook die drankie probeer.

Dankie Jackie! Die Kaalkop ondersetter is sommer my voorskoot wat ek oor die tafel gegooi het
(Thanks Jackie – the “Kaalkop” table cloth is just my apron that I threw over the table)
