sXe Test Kitchen

[xvunderx]

When it comes to parties the drug free crown usually has the choice of water or Sprite (both yum by the way) but figuring that's kinda like the pasta dish every restaurant has as the only veggie option I figured it's time that there was as much opportunity for rocking drinks without the booze!

I've had a bit of a test kitchen going on for a while and I'd love to see what every one else comes up with, so let's see what you all got!

Starting off:

Basic Italian Soda


Add 1 oz (30ml) Syrup (think the ones you find for flavoring coffee etc) to a tall glass, fill the rest of the glass with club soda.

Egg Cream


Coat the bottom of a tall glass with choclate syrup
Fill glass 3/4 full of club soda
fill the rest of the way with milk
Stir to combine and foam
(works great with any non acidic syrup too)

Rose Sunset Soda


Fill a 10oz glass 1/3 full with orange juice
Add a dash (about 15ml 0.5oz) rose syrup
Fill the glass with club soda
Drop in a maraschino cherry
Mix gently and serve!

Topaz Fizz


Fill 1/3 of a 10oz glas with grapefruit juice
Add 0.5oz (15ml) passion fruit syrup
and 0.5oz (15ml Lychee syrup
Fill the rest of the glass with soda water
Add ice and a crushed mint sprig (optional)

Yummy! The Sunset Soda sounds tasty. These are my summer drinks:

1 can natural pineapple
4 T lemon juice
Juice watermelon and pineapple together.
Add lemon juice.
Chill & drink.

Juices-Summertime Spritzer
1 watermelon
½ pineapple
¼ inch ginger root
½ C club soda
¾ C ice
Juice watermelon, pineapple and ginger root together.

Blend club soda and ice.

Add both mixtures together & drink up!
