Some things just scream summer. Ice Cream, fresh cut grass, pools, boats, pie, lemonade… all of these things make us feel happy, light, carefree. They remind us of sunny days and long evenings. Of family and friends gathered around enjoying life.
Let’s talk for a moment about the lemonade. I clearly remember as a kid the lemonade coming from a powder mix (it was the 80s - everything was made with a powder). There were no fancy flavors, and no matter how well you mixed it, you inevitably got at least one powder clump. Man, have lemonade options improved! Santa Cruz Organic® Lemonades come in a huge variety. Strawberry, Half Iced Tea, Raspberry, Peach, Cherry Lemonade, Limeade, and good old regular Lemonade. All of them are delicious and kid-approved (see video for proof). Plus, they’re all made with 100% fruit juices and they don’t contain any preservatives or artificial ingredients, so they’re Mom-approved as well.
My personal favorite is the Mango. It makes me feel as if I’m escaping with a tropical drink in the middle of the afternoon. It’s delicious and light, the perfect addition to a summer salad or fresh fruit. My daughter’s favorite is also the Mango, and she really likes Strawberry, and Peach, but was on the fence about the Iced Tea/Lemonade. We had a lot of fun trying out different varieties over the last few weeks, and today we sat down to put Abbey’s lemonade taste buds to the test. I poured three different flavors - Strawberry, Iced Tea, and Mango. I was kind of surprised when she didn't get the first one right, but it was so fun watching her reactions.
So grab yourself a bottle, or three - I see them on sale Kroger almost every week! These will make a great addition your Labor Day line-up. Enjoy!
