My grandma from Boca Raton made a similar tea. She used more tea and less fresh squeezed orange and lemon juice. Reminds me of sitting on the lanai in the 1960s with all her lady friends. Such a fun time to be a kid. ❤
This was fun. My Grandmother would have loved this episode. She was a Lady who lunched and entertained in the post ww2 era. 1945-1970. She was often listed in the social section of our City paper. I have a few of her glassware sets and serving platters and cherish them all. Thanks Anna.
@@lgaines4086Sure, but something like an Old Fashioned won't be much of anything without the whiskey! And a lot of mixed cocktails are like that. So Anna's video is great to give us some N/A options!
I wish you would do more of the drinks. I can’t have alcohol, and most channels seem to concentrate on the adult beverages. There is a place for non alcoholic drinks too.
I agree. I don’t drink either & would really like to see tv cooks, youtube cooks & recipe books offer a virgin/nonalcoholic version of the alcoholic drinks
Oh my gosh! My step mom collected everything with owls on it and she had those owl glasses! My brother and I once counted her owls and objects with owls on them and there were over 300 owl items in the house. Statues, nick nacks, towels, plates, glasses, photos, aprons, tables, napkins, coasters, you name it,she had it!
Susan is a Good Housekeeping character. There were cooking series called, “Susan our new bride” and “Susan our beginning cook” that gave very good directions with pictures. I learned how to bake bread from that series when I was in high school in the 60’s. Thanks for showing this. I enjoy your content.
My grandmother used to make me a Black Cow (Coca Cola and vanilla ice cream) or a Boston Cooler (Vernor's ginger Ale and vanilla ice cream) when I was a child. Delicious!!
Whoa! That brought me back! I had forgotten about Russian tea. My dad loved the stuff. I hated it because Tang. I think I was the only kid who hated Tang. Thanks for the memory jog😂
I have a vintage rhubarb plant, and think I'll use that (in compote form) to make the raspberry frost. Seriously, this rhubarb was planted by the parents of my 90-yr old landlady. She loved rhubarb sorbet last year, she'll probably like a rhubarb frost, too. ❤
Rhubarb sorbet sounds delicious! How sweet of you to share some with your landlady. I don't know where I read it, but a house supposedly isn't really a home without a rhubarb plant. I can imagine your landlady's parents knew of this tradition. 😊
Cranberry juice was a big deal on the 50s. I was born in 1954 and I remember my material grandmother drinking cranberry juice and grapefruit juice in a variety of concoctions. My mother told me once that the 50s was the first time "normal" folks had disposal incomes and a lot of the cookbooks and magazines of that time shows that want of "fancy" foods. Like the juices, it was the first time regular people could afford fruit out of season so then companies, of course, started offering them bottled or canned to the masses. I know it must be so strange for a young person to imagine grocery stores not having orange juice year round. I am loving your channel, for me, it brings back some fond memories. 👵 Edit~ the reason I remember my grandmother drinking those juices was like most kids, I wanted sip of granny's drink. I was always sorry, but never learned my lesson. 😖 sour!
To describe the riveting conversations that go on around my house, my husband and I were recently talking about how common it used to be to have cans of frozen juice concentrate on hand. 😂 I can’t even remember last time I bought or saw frozen concentrate, but I definitely remember 5 Alive! I also enjoy your vintage glassware, and remember my mom having the cracker jar with the plastic lid you have on the shelf over your left shoulder. Really fun cookbook, thanks for sharing with us. 😊
YES I feel like frozen juice concentrate was so common when I was growing up. There seemed to be more varieties and sizes back then. Thanks for watching! ❤
Yay! You did the beverages! You are awesome! First off: I lived in Tampa for 20 years, and I never saw Tampa tea or heard people talk about it. I feel like Tampa cheated me. 😊 Second: My mother-in-law made cranberry sherbet for every Thanksgiving, but she and I were the only ones excited about it. When she passed away, the rest of the family decided that it wasn’t what people wanted. I very sadly said, “Okay.” One year I said, “Get me the recipe, and I will make it.” The response was, “Mom didn’t have a recipe. She just made it.” Again, I very sadly said, “Okay.” Definitely give it a try. Those were some great memories-bonding with mothers-in-law is both rare and priceless.
I'm sure Anna would be happy to share the recipe. Make it for Thanksgiving again this year. Your opinion matters, too! Sometimes you just have to please yourself. Buy a can for the ones who want the ordinary stuff.
Thank you!!! People don't give non-alcoholic drinks enough coverage these days. It's canned pop and seltzer, iced tea, or cocktails, beer, wine. These are fun, and they DO look like summer! And that was an excellent use of Italian ice! The Luigi's people should write you a little promo check.
Thanks for these! I'm throwing a wee pool party for one of my favorite almodt-six-year-olds on Saturday, and we will be enjoying the raspberry frosts next to our inflatable oasis. As a sober person who is currently extremely freaking pregnant, the non-alcoholic-ness of these drinks is much appreciated. I hope your summer is going well, and I'm sending my best wishes for your upcoming surgery. Thanks for your good work Miss Anna!
The tasty beverages in this wonderful video made me think of the beverage my mom would serve when my grandparents would come for a holiday dinner. In lovely mid- century sherbet stemmed cups she would add cranberry juice and ginger ale and top with a petite scoop of lime sherbet. It felt fancy to me as a kid and was fun to have sherbet before dinner. ❤
My aunt made a tea drink for a family reunion back in the 70's. It had frozen orange juice, tea and cinnamin sticks in it. I can still remember the taste.
I've been out of town and it was nice to come home this evening and catch up on this week's video. I absolutely love that apron, have been admiring it for several weeks.
My aunt lived in Tampa and she used to make iced tea with 1/3 cup(s) of orange juice and lemon juice to about a gallon of water and 10-12 tea bags. The iced tea is so good, so maybe that Tampa Tea is a Tampa-area sort of drink.
Funny that you mention Five Alive! This week I've been mixing orange juice, grapefruit juice, and frozen limeade concentrate to drink at work, and I think of it as "Five Alive Minus Two". I found the orange juice at 99 cents for a quart, the grapefruit juice was 57 cents for a quart, and the can of limeade concentrate was marked down 43% to $1.88, so I should really think of it as "Inflation-Buster Punch"! My summer drink selections don't go so far back as the 1950s, but they HAVE made quite a few trips around the sun. First, I compulsively brew sun tea in a glass former peanut butter jar, set inside a car on a hot day. I let it cool overnight, and then it's a perfect drinking temperature for breakfast and lunch. My favorite summer blender drink is simply Häagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream and buttermilk. My favorite summer store-bought drink is Dr. Pepper, just not in cans, that has been stored at the ideal soda pop temperature in my basement. And my favorite summer go-out-for-something-fancy drink is a Sonic "Real Fruit" lime slushie.
"Helping" my mom cook as a toddler (!) in our 1950s kitchen launched me into my life-long love of cooking. Needless to say, I adore your channel---the 50s stuff especially, but all the other eras as well. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this, and the many interesting dishes and cultural tidbits you dive into. I've been adding to my own cookbook collection based on some of the books you explore, so THANK YOU for the delicious inspirations! (I have the 1941 Victory cookbook sitting beside me as I write this!) This Good Housekeeping book is one I've just ordered as well. Can't wait to try some of those drinks! ☺❤
Apologies if someone already commented this: you can still get 5 Alive in Canada (at least in Ontario). Thanks so much for all your lovely videos! I have a small vintage cookbook collection, inherited from my mom, and I know she would have loved your channel. I can imagine how much fun she and I would have had watching them together. ❤
This makes me so nostalgic for my mom's bridge and golf luncheons. I've never heard of Tampa Tea but the Raspberry Frost is bringing back some memories. We've lost so much of the entertaining that we used to do. It was de rigueur to have a punch bowl and a silver tea and coffee set. I still have all of that but only because I love 1930's display cabinets and dry bars. Thanks, I love your videos.
I have an old Good House Keeping Cookbook that my dad bought my mom as a gift in about 1971-1972 it has really fun recipes and I love the old pictures of the food. I really love ur channel I love hearing about these old recipes and it inspired me to tey some it's really awesome that u have some of ur great grandma's things ❤❤
I really love summer drinks as well as Good Housekeeping cookbooks. This video is great and very timely. Can’t wait to try these. BTW, ‘Susan,’ in the 1963 Good Housekeeping ‘catch-all’ cookbook, explains that she ‘is our perennial teen-age cook.’ It further explains that she’s 19 years old, and she guides ‘cooks and would-be cooks of all ages.’ Anyway, great video! And thank you. ❤
Great book and you are right…the illustrations are adorable. You could probably get a punch bowl at a thrift store. I am 70 and had a punch pool for years. Usually used it if I hosted a Tupperware, Home interiors or Mary Kay cosmetics party. I Miss the days when people got together and appreciated nice serving dishes.
With the second recipe, the reason it says to stir the sugar until dissolved is because at that point, the sugar has been added to hot liquid, and sugar dissolves readily in hot liquids. With the addition of cold liquids and ice, and undissolved sugar is likely to stay that way (leading to sugar sludge in the bottom of the pitcher/drinkware, and a less-sweet final product, since some of the sugar is sitting at the bottom.) Love, love, love this episode. And how cool that you have that glass from your great-great grandmother.
I love your apron! And, of course the drink recipes. My mother likes to make CocoPine. You mix a can of coconut milk to a can of pineapple juice. We found it when we went to the Hawaiian islands back in the 1970's. Another drink from the same era was to fill a punch bowl with lemon lime soda and add either orange sherbet or our favorite raspberry sherbet. This was served at many weddings and church potlucks.
I lived about 60 minutes from Tampa for about 20 years and never heard of Tampa Tea. Since Florida was prolific for oranges for a long time then I am not surprised about the orange drink.
When I was very little, in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s, paper straws were all there was, although they WERE coated in Wax to last through your use. My Aunt would come each Summer weekend from Northern New Jersey to stay at my Grandma’s to go to the Beach. Grandma would make “Punch” for us to take to the Beach and always put in Pineapple juice. Even though Aunt always included my brother & me, I felt she was using Grandma & Pop as she hardly ever visited after the Summer Season was over. I’m going to have to make these for some Fun this Summer!
My grandma did frozen grape juice concentrate mixed with frozen lemonade concentrate on blazing hot days. It was delicious and I've never known anyone else who did that combo
These all look delicious and easy. I remember when I was growing up my Grandma had a punch bowl that was in standard use every holiday. I have the bowl but not the small cups that went with it now. lol Thanks for sharing and have a great day
I was a soda jerk in 1970s at a drug store. The Raspberry Float reminded me of lime rickeys, we made a raspberry rickey too. Sugar syrup or raspberry syrup, soda water and squeeze of lime and the lime half in the glass. Read it was from 1960.
Ooh I have to try that. We had a few drug store soda fountains around when I was a kid. My dad and I used to visit one in particular for chocolate Cokes. 😋
Your vintage glassware is fabulous! I especially liked the owl glass. We have a couple glasses left from a set my mom bought in the late 60s that have pictures of vintage cars. And I located a set of orange juice glasses just like the ones my grandma had in her new kitchen in 1962.
I grew up in the Tampa Bay area during the 50's and 60's. I can't recall "Tampa Tea" being a thing. Our fridge was always stocked with iced tea and orange juice, but it never occurred to us to combine them! I rather suspect that GH made up the name to reflect that the recipe included Florida's signature beverage - in the same way that recipes with pineapple were often called Hawaiian regardless of their origins.
My Mother made Ruby Fruit Punch. She would freeze the punch ingredients in ice cube trays. The cubes would be placed in individual glasses then the glasses would be filled with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. So delicious!
As you were showing your owl glass I was just saying to myself. I love your collection of vintage glasses, bowls and others that you have. A lot of your bowls I really want. And the owl glass 👌
This was such a fun video. I've loved making this kind of drink ever since I was a teenager. I have a collection of the Good Housekeeping cook books which I started because of this particular cook book. Really enjoyed seeing your vintage glassware, too.
I'm from the Tampa Bay Area. I've lived here for 43 years and I have never heard of Tampa Tea!! Sounds good but I do not think to STUCK!! I love your videos and content! Thank you for sharing.
What a great episode. I remember we used to have lots of fruity drinks when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. My mom had a lot of those little recipe booklets with all kinds of good recipes in them. I used to love Five Alive years ago. I havent even thought about that for years. I can even remember the song from the tv commercial for it. You brought back some great memories for me today - thank you dear 🌸💚🌸💚🌸💚🌸
I grew up in Miami and the tampa tea feels exactly like something the Fl citrus growers association would have created to drive Fla orange juice sales! love the glassware!!
Fun episode!! I would give all 3 of these summer drinks a try, especially the first one with pineapple. Hope you'll do a hot drinks episode this winter!
The raspberry frost? So good! and we have SO MUCH sparkling water. Also I love that you mentioned that your firdge is basically a sparkling water mart (TM) bc it is. My mint is dying outside (it was supposed to THRIVE) so maybe I will use the last leaves for drinks
I’ve seen Five Alive in the US recently, or at least in the last several years! I couldn’t tell you where, but now I’ll be on the lookout. I grew up on that stuff and always loved it.
I'm not going to lie - you flashed the page with the Tampa Tea - and I screen shot the Spicy Ginger Tantalizer. Definitely going to give it a shot (though the 3 you did looked good as well).
Thanks for giving these recipes a go. I think my kids would really like the raspberry-lemon ice float. I think it might taste great with strawberries too. Have a super day!
The restaurant chain McAlister's Deli and Cafe offers the option of adding a fruit juice shot to their iced tea: peach, black cherry, or strawberry. The iced tea with a peach shot is delicious and would be easy to replicate at home: just make some iced tea and add some peach nectar to it. The latter can be found in most grocery stores. I have to watch my sugar intake, so another one of my favorite iced tea hacks is to dissolve a packet of Propel sugar free sports drink powder in it. The Orange Raspberry and Raspberry Lemonade flavors are especially tasty in iced tea.
The fruit juice and iced tea mixes remind me of the tea punches I used to make for summer tea parties; one part each of iced tea, fruit juice (I like pomegranate or cherry because it makes the punch a beautiful red color) and chilled carbonated or mineral water. The water and tea dilute the fruit sugar in the juice so it's not so bad for your dietary sugar intake (I am diabetic so I also have to watch my blood sugar) and it doesn't involve sugar free sweeteners (most of which upset my stomach). I like to use lemon or lime-flavored unsweetened carbonated water for this. So refreshing!
I'd love to see some of those icecream recipes! That raspberry drink looks so good. We're going into winter here but I think l'm going to have to throw caution to the wind and make myself some of that!
I thought this would be alcoholic beverages but was pleasantly suprised! The Tampa tea kind of reminds me of an Arnold Palmer, but with orange juice instead of lemonade. I like my Arnold Palmers more heavy on the tea, though.
When I worked at McDonald’s in high school I would put the vanilla soft serve ice cream in a cup & add orange juice. Mix it up slightly. It almost tastes like an orange julius.

That sounds wonderful!
Sounds like we get to sit in on The Golden Girls! Love it! 🧋🍹
@jenn9119 Sounds perfect to me!
This was fun. My Grandmother would have loved this episode. She was a Lady who lunched and entertained in the post ww2 era. 1945-1970. She was often listed in the social section of our City paper. I have a few of her glassware sets and serving platters and cherish them all. Thanks Anna.
Thank you for giving non-alcoholic summer drink options! So many drink videos are not. They sound fun!
All recipes can be alcohol free, just don't include the alcohol.
@@lgaines4086Sure, but something like an Old Fashioned won't be much of anything without the whiskey! And a lot of mixed cocktails are like that. So Anna's video is great to give us some N/A options!
Look for mocktails, they are usually non alcoholic version of really good drinks...
Yeah I love it, I don't drink alcohol so it's good to see these alternatives for a change up on boring water.
@@lgaines4086
But some require flavored vodkas or other flavored alcohol.
I don’t know if juice would always work
Tampa Tea was something we made in girl scouts using instant tea and tang - the kiddos loved it!
even when i have no interest in eating the food featured in cooking the books i still find all the videos very fun and entertaining.
I wish you would do more of the drinks. I can’t have alcohol, and most channels seem to concentrate on the adult beverages. There is a place for non alcoholic drinks too.
For sure! I'm thinking of putting together a few shorts with non alcoholic beverage recipes.

The pineapple and ice cream is giving me total Dole Whip vibes
I love a dole whip!
My grandmother used to make me a Black Cow (Coca Cola and vanilla ice cream) or a Boston Cooler (Vernor's ginger Ale and vanilla ice cream) when I was a child. Delicious!!
My dad used to make a purple cow with vanilla ice cream and grape juice.
A Shirley Temple with cherry ice cream would be delish
Yum! Concord Grape Juice@@Luvknots78
My favorite growing up was a pink cow.. red creme soda with vanilla ice cream!
The Boston Cooler sounds fabulous!
Have you heard of Russian Tea? It is tea and orange Tang mix, lemonade mix, sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Served hot.
Yes! There was a recipe in the cookbook I used for my homemade gifts episode back in November.
My mom used to make that for us after a day at the pool. Cleared the stuffiness right up.
Whoa! That brought me back! I had forgotten about Russian tea. My dad loved the stuff. I hated it because Tang. I think I was the only kid who hated Tang. Thanks for the memory jog😂
Love the Russian tea, that was a treat in my early childhood,
I kept thinking "What a cute yellow sombrero cup". But it's your lemon juicer😂
Now I can't stop seeing a sombrero cup when I use my little juicer! 😂
You can never go wrong with pineapple and vanilla! And Bacardi... 🙂
Yes, this. Also maybe Malibu coconut rum. 😋
Nothing beats an icy fruity drink to cool you in the summer! Add a paper umbrella and you can imagine you’re on vacation 😊
I have a vintage rhubarb plant, and think I'll use that (in compote form) to make the raspberry frost. Seriously, this rhubarb was planted by the parents of my 90-yr old landlady. She loved rhubarb sorbet last year, she'll probably like a rhubarb frost, too. ❤

I'm not much of an alcohol drinker, so these really hit for "cocktail" style non-alcohol drinks.
Same here! Glad you enjoyed the recipes. 🙂

Easy great party punch…place a half gallon sherbet, any flavor in a punch bowl…fill with 7up or sprite and drink up!!! Delish!!
These drinks sound so good. I love the cups with the green stipea from ur great grandma green is my favorite color too

In old cookbooks an ice cream scoop is about a half cup. I've haven't seen any sweetened frozen fruit other than strawberries since the 80s.

In the 60s, "Russian Tea" was popular. It was instant black tea powder mixed with Tang and mixed with hot water.
Some ice cream concoctions would make for a good 4th of July themed video.
I love your cookbook reviews! And your vintage cookware. Thanks as always, Anna for a fun and interesting channel - love your content!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoy my cookbooks and vintage cookware. I love sharing it in my videos.
So fun! My favorite was orange sherbert with cold seltzer water topped with mint sprig. 🎉❤
That sounds good!
I have all of these ingredients right now (leftover mint is from an upcoming video!). I gotta try this!
I love your apron! And, of course the drink recipes. My mother likes to make CocoPine. You mix a can of coconut milk to a can of pineapple juice. We found it when we went to the Hawaiian islands back in the 1970's. Another drink from the same era was to fill a punch bowl with lemon lime soda and add either orange sherbet or our favorite raspberry sherbet. This was served at many weddings and church potlucks.
I enjoy your love of cookbooks. I have a few but no where to display them. You motivate me to get a bookshelf cleaned off to use for cookbooks.
I lived about 60 minutes from Tampa for about 20 years and never heard of Tampa Tea. Since Florida was prolific for oranges for a long time then I am not surprised about the orange drink.
That Tampa Tea sounds like it would be great for a summer brunch or BBQ, with a bottle of vodka on the side for anyone who wanted to spike theirs.
When I was very little, in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s, paper straws were all there was, although they WERE coated in Wax to last through your use. My Aunt would come each Summer weekend from Northern New Jersey to stay at my Grandma’s to go to the Beach. Grandma would make “Punch” for us to take to the Beach and always put in Pineapple juice. Even though Aunt always included my brother & me, I felt she was using Grandma & Pop as she hardly ever visited after the Summer Season was over. I’m going to have to make these for some Fun this Summer!
My grandma did frozen grape juice concentrate mixed with frozen lemonade concentrate on blazing hot days. It was delicious and I've never known anyone else who did that combo
That sounds so good! 😋
I got a chocolate mint plant and I am excited to try some teas, hot and cold, as well as ice cream with it.
These all look delicious and easy. I remember when I was growing up my Grandma had a punch bowl that was in standard use every holiday. I have the bowl but not the small cups that went with it now. lol Thanks for sharing and have a great day
I was a soda jerk in 1970s at a drug store. The Raspberry Float reminded me of lime rickeys, we made a raspberry rickey too. Sugar syrup or raspberry syrup, soda water and squeeze of lime and the lime half in the glass. Read it was from 1960.
Ooh I have to try that. We had a few drug store soda fountains around when I was a kid. My dad and I used to visit one in particular for chocolate Cokes. 😋
@@cooking_the_books We did flavored colas too!
Your vintage glassware is fabulous! I especially liked the owl glass. We have a couple glasses left from a set my mom bought in the late 60s that have pictures of vintage cars. And I located a set of orange juice glasses just like the ones my grandma had in her new kitchen in 1962.
I grew up in the Tampa Bay area during the 50's and 60's. I can't recall "Tampa Tea" being a thing. Our fridge was always stocked with iced tea and orange juice, but it never occurred to us to combine them! I rather suspect that GH made up the name to reflect that the recipe included Florida's signature beverage - in the same way that recipes with pineapple were often called Hawaiian regardless of their origins.
My Mother made Ruby Fruit Punch. She would freeze the punch ingredients in ice cube trays. The cubes would be placed in individual glasses then the glasses would be filled with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. So delicious!
Sounds very refreshing! 😋
What a good idea. It would look so pretty!
Cranberry and citrus flavor sherbets are great for multi course holiday dinners as palette cleansers.
As you were showing your owl glass I was just saying to myself. I love your collection of vintage glasses, bowls and others that you have. A lot of your bowls I really want. And the owl glass 👌
i told my sister i was starting to collect owls and mushrooms the other day. love the owls too.
This was such a fun video. I've loved making this kind of drink ever since I was a teenager. I have a collection of the Good Housekeeping cook books which I started because of this particular cook book. Really enjoyed seeing your vintage glassware, too.
I went to Costco Saturday and spotted Dole Whip in the wild! Did I buy some? You betcha :) we made strawberry lemonade today 😋
I'm totally the same with drinks. I'm not really a snack person but I am ALWAYS down for a fun drink of some kind.
I'm from the Tampa Bay Area. I've lived here for 43 years and I have never heard of Tampa Tea!! Sounds good but I do not think to STUCK!! I love your videos and content! Thank you for sharing.
Mom's go-to party/ baby shower cut glass punch bowl punch was pouring ginger ale over a square (quart box) of sherbet.
Oh gosh, the boxes of sherbet and ice cream! I don't see those too often anymore.
Green is my favorite color as well 😃
I love green too, and also collect cookbooks. The drinks look really pretty and tasty.
What a great episode. I remember we used to have lots of fruity drinks when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. My mom had a lot of those little recipe booklets with all kinds of good recipes in them. I used to love Five Alive years ago. I havent even thought about that for years. I can even remember the song from the tv commercial for it. You brought back some great memories for me today - thank you dear 🌸💚🌸💚🌸💚🌸
Glad my video could spark some nice memories for you! ☺
I grew up in Miami and the tampa tea feels exactly like something the Fl citrus growers association would have created to drive Fla orange juice sales! love the glassware!!
Lemon gelato would be amazing in the raspberry drink.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your support! I really appreciate it. ❤
My parents had us kids join them at midnight on New Years Eve for similar "floats" soft drinks, sitting around the kitchen table.
When my kids were little, for fun on Valentine's Day, we would make Valentine's floats...vanilla ice cream and strawberry soda.
❤love that @@MelanieCravens
This sounds so fun!
I love your Owl glass!
Thank you! 😊
Fun episode!!
I would give all 3 of these summer drinks a try, especially the first one with pineapple.
Hope you'll do a hot drinks episode this winter!
@Cooking_the_books This is such a fun video! I was a baby playing in little splash pools in the summer of 1958. 😊🌞🏖️
Such a fun video! These drinks look YUMMY!!! Hope you are doing well!!!! 🙂❤
Living for the owl glass 🦉🦉🦉
My mom made us ice tea with orange juice in the summer, 1970s.
Here in Canada you can get 5 Alive, but in juice box form.
Hahaha I remember that stuff!
The raspberry frost? So good! and we have SO MUCH sparkling water. Also I love that you mentioned that your firdge is basically a sparkling water mart (TM) bc it is. My mint is dying outside (it was supposed to THRIVE) so maybe I will use the last leaves for drinks
Very nice
I've had cantaloupe granita. And it's quite refreshing.
I’ve seen Five Alive in the US recently, or at least in the last several years! I couldn’t tell you where, but now I’ll be on the lookout. I grew up on that stuff and always loved it.
I'm not going to lie - you flashed the page with the Tampa Tea - and I screen shot the Spicy Ginger Tantalizer. Definitely going to give it a shot (though the 3 you did looked good as well).
Thanks for giving these recipes a go. I think my kids would really like the raspberry-lemon ice float. I think it might taste great with strawberries too. Have a super day!
Reminds me of the old soda shop sodas!
Punch cup servings sounds like a lot, but they were usually small. So you would want a minimum of 2 per person
I always tree to find to cookbook you feature ❤❤❤
The restaurant chain McAlister's Deli and Cafe offers the option of adding a fruit juice shot to their iced tea: peach, black cherry, or strawberry. The iced tea with a peach shot is delicious and would be easy to replicate at home: just make some iced tea and add some peach nectar to it. The latter can be found in most grocery stores. I have to watch my sugar intake, so another one of my favorite iced tea hacks is to dissolve a packet of Propel sugar free sports drink powder in it. The Orange Raspberry and Raspberry Lemonade flavors are especially tasty in iced tea.
The fruit juice and iced tea mixes remind me of the tea punches I used to make for summer tea parties; one part each of iced tea, fruit juice (I like pomegranate or cherry because it makes the punch a beautiful red color) and chilled carbonated or mineral water. The water and tea dilute the fruit sugar in the juice so it's not so bad for your dietary sugar intake (I am diabetic so I also have to watch my blood sugar) and it doesn't involve sugar free sweeteners (most of which upset my stomach). I like to use lemon or lime-flavored unsweetened carbonated water for this. So refreshing!
I'd love to see some of those icecream recipes!
That raspberry drink looks so good. We're going into winter here but I think l'm going to have to throw caution to the wind and make myself some of that!
Love this!
Thank you! 😊
That is the year I was born. Those looks delicious 😋
I thought this would be alcoholic beverages but was pleasantly suprised! The Tampa tea kind of reminds me of an Arnold Palmer, but with orange juice instead of lemonade. I like my Arnold Palmers more heavy on the tea, though.
I LOVE fun drinks, my Pinterest drink folder is huge lol. A party with appetizers and fun drinks would be the best :D
When I worked at McDonald’s in high school I would put the vanilla soft serve ice cream in a cup & add orange juice. Mix it up slightly. It almost tastes like an orange julius.
