Mocktail Monday!

Ok everyone since summer is just about here I think it's time for some fun, fruity drinks! Given the weekend is usually adult fruity drink fun, I've reserved Mondays as our official Mad Mom Mocktail Mondays! I'll post some great recipes to try with the kids. They'll have fun helping you make these concoctions and will love helping you drink them! This is also a great way to sneak in some extra fruit or vegetable juice!


Sunny Citrus Cooler!

1 (46 oz) can pineapple juice
2 (12 oz) cans frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed for easy mixing)
3/4 cup lemonade concentrate (also thawed)
6 cups ginger ale - better if chilled
Orange slices

In a 1-gal. pitcher, combine pineapple juice, orange juice concentrate and lemonade concentrate. Add ginger ale and mix well. Serve over ice. Garnish with orange slices if desired.

Have your kids help mix while you're preparing they orange slices. And for weekend revisions, add a little Parrot Bay rum - any flavor will do, but the coconut flavor will add an exotic flavor and a little kick for the mad mom!
