Like most other blogs these day, Earl Grey might as well be a weather forecast. Today I’m going to talk about the weather. Again.
Every single time it’s unusually warm outside, I walk down the street (or drive somewhere) and buy lemonade. It’s my ritual. I think I have been doing it for years. Panera is my go-to lemonade place, unless I feel like squeezing lemons. I’m having a whole lot of lemonade lately so I thought I would explore some slightly fancier options. Here are some drinks that I already love or that I really want to try. (Warning: these are 50% grapefruit juice, 50% lemonade.)
1. Lavender Lemonade. I want it everydayofmylife.
2. Flavored lemonade recipes from ABM. The grapefruit lemonade ruled my world. I also tried mint and lime!
3. Sparkling Grapefruit Sangria. Can you tell that I love grapefruit juice? I’m a tiny bit addicted.
4. I think this Lillet Rose Spring Cocktail recipe looks refreshing and so pretty! I’ve shown this picture to so many people. a) It has grapefruit juice, b) look at those flowers.
5. Grapefruit mimosas. Now I’m just laughing at myself.
6. Peach lemonade. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds so perfect for a hot day.
7. Apple, Ginger, & Cranberry Vodka cocktails. I don’t drink vodka, so I’d put something else in there, but this sounds very tasty.
I have expressed my love for grapefruit juice and lemonade quite fully. But I have to be honest…my summer go-to beverage is plain old iced black tea.
What do you prefer to drink when the weather is warm? I’m always looking for new ideas. :)
