Grapefruit Rosemary Mocktail

‘Grapefruit Rosemary Mocktail’, an easily made, refreshing drink with a hinting of rosemary ☺👌🏻💕🍊🌿

I figured with warmer days finally seeming to be upon us, that it was now timely to share this recipe, which I found via Pura Vida Bracelets Blog.

 

Serves 4 in small to medium size glasses.

What you’ll need :

2 grapefruits
3 stems of fresh rosemary
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 Club sodas

What you’ll do :

Chill the club soda ahead of time.

On low heat, combine the sugar, water and rosemary until the sugar is dissolved.

Juice your grapefruit.

To serve :

Pour 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice into your glasses.
Add in 2 tbsp of the sugar water mixture and top of the rest of your drink with club soda, I used one with a hinting of lemon flavour.
Garnish with a few sprigs of the rosemary!

 

‘Clink, Clink’, enjoy!

Mojito Sounds Cooler

This is the recipe for the virgin mojito…or ‘minty lime ginger ale’ but mojito sounds cooler 😎

So, I personally do not drink alcohol so after I tried a virgin mojito in Switzerland and again (much later) in South Africa, I knew it was going to be a drink I would need to try replicating for the hot summer days 🌿☀️🍹📝

Ingredients:

2 medium sized glasses

1 lime

Fears Eased, Thirsts Quenched

Saturday June 3rd –

 

 

 

We were up by 5:00 to prepare ourselves, load the truck and gulp a coffee before hitting the road to go to our friends in Birch Hills, who were letting us borrow yard space for the big, town garage sale day.

 

​​

The morning was overcast and chilly and we feared we were in for a slow, pitiful day but luckily the day took a turn for the better.
Along with beautiful sun came gusting winds now and then, which proved tiresome for some of the hanging items which were being blown violently to and fro and not staying in place… but it was still more bearable than the earlier forecast😏👌🏻

It was still chilly when Mike and I went to take a peek at the garage sale across the street.
So when I found a sporty, thin jacket, that fit, looked alright and was only three dollars, I was extra pleased to add the extra layer until the sun came out 👌🏻😁

(Mike had been working near that area all week so he had driven to meet/help Mom and I that morning.)

As the morning became more bearable, the people traffic picked up and items began leaving the tables.

 

 

Mine included!😁💕🌿

For being a yard sale attraction and not a specifically handmade/new item focused event, I did pretty well with my creations.
Greatly easing the fear of people not wanting any and the day being a bust 😉

Mom took her turn to go out and peruse and then Mike and I went out.
Finding a dresser he bartered down to $25 👌🏻
