Summer Punch

Ever need a little change?  Host a party and want a special drink?

At our Memorial Day party, we tried this punch.

One attendee called it a knock off of a Sonic Strawberry lemonade.

If you swapped the ginger ale for 7-up it would be an almost perfect swap.

We are enjoying an occasional swap up for the pure water while going through

the summer heat this weekend.

Summertime Strawberry Punch

1 can (12 oz) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed

1 package 20 oz frozen strawberries, partially thawed

1/4 c sugar (I omitted this)

2 c strong tea

2 liters ginger ale

In food processor or blender, combine lemonade concentrate, strawberries, (and sugar if desired).

Transfer to large pitcher or bowl; stir in tea.  

Add ginger ale and ice cubes.

Shortly after making the above,

I found another less sweet version for a treat at home.
I took it to work for a midday treat last week for hubby.
Hubby in turn made it for me on Saturday night while we relaxed in the yard.

1/2 lb strawberries

2 stems of mint leaves 

3 TBSP honey

2 Tbsp lime juice

Ice Cubes

2 cans plain seltzer

Fill 2 tall glasses with ice, divide strawberry mix, pour in seltzer.

AAHH!  Refreshing!
