Lime Rickeys

Lime Rickeys and Summertime!  This is a recipe from my years of waiting tables @ Sizzler...just like they make it!!  Only not $3 a glass :)


Ingredients:
~ 7-up
~ Grape flavored syrup (the kind you use on snow cones...NOT waffles!!)
~ Limes
~ Ice

That's it!! You fill your glass w/ ice n' pop, drizzle w/ as much syrup as you'd like (I like a shot or 2) and then squeeze about a half a lime into the glass. Cut a quarter slice of lime down the middle and place on the side of the glass for a fancy serving. Fun party drink!

Fun Dry Ice Drink everyone will love!

We had this at Halloween, but you could make it any time of the year and use different types of pop. It would be fun at a party!! My fam LOVED, LOVED it. It isn't just really cool to watch, because it steams and pops and fizzes, but it also makes the pop taste SO good!



Ingredients:
~ Block of dry ice (the block we used was about 5"x3" and it lasted all evening)
~ Root beer (you could try any flavor, I'm sure.)

Directions:
Place dry ice in a large bowl. Pour pop over dry ice and enjoy the delicious magic! Serve with a ladle.

Cranberry, Pineapple Slush

This is a delicious drink. I thought I knew what this friend was talking about when she told me about it, but I had never had anything like it (homemade). It's very good and a great party drink!!


Ingredients:
~ 1 qt. cranberry juice
~ 1 qt. pineapple juice
~ 1 c. sugar
~ 1 Tbsp. almond extract

Directions:
Mix all ingredients, place in a large freezer Ziploc baggie and freeze. About 30 min. before serving, empty into a punch bowl. To serve, add 2 liters of sprite and crush solid pieces into slush (a potato masher works great for this).
