Everyone loves a celebration. The food. The music. The decorations. The atmosphere. The drinks. Yes, the drinks. Ah, the taste of something different and as special as the occasion itself.
Most often people think of celebrating with alcohol. When planning a celebration, I focus on finding a drink that compliments the food, tastes good, out of the norm and dare I say it…. non alcoholic.
In our home we do not drink. Philip is a recovering alcoholic. He is two years sober and I am so proud of him. I will not stop celebrating but I will find ways to celebrate sober so everyone, children included can celebrate too.
I love a mixed drink as good as the next person. There are many ways to make virgin mixed drinks for everyone to enjoy at celebrations. The other night I decided I would make Strawberry Daiquiris. These Strawberry Daiquiris are delicious and I highly recommend them.
Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
3 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
16 ice cubes
Blend until smooth strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, chilled lemon-lime soda. Then add ice cubes and blend until smooth. Makes 4.
The strawberries may be substituted ...for 1 1/2 cups of sliced peaches.
I will eventually post more of my favorite non-alcoholic drink recipes. What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink recipe?
