Refreshing summer coolers 


When you throwing a backyard party or pool party and you want to go for nonalcoholic drinks than fresh fruit coolers will be a great option. That way whole family can enjoy the drinks without restrictions. :-) :-)

Ginger Ale

Ginger and lemon together make a great flavor. Homemade ginger ale is great for digestive disturbances and contains probiotics and enzymes. It is very simple to make and great to serve as welcome drink as well.

Ingredients:-
1 inch piece of ginger root / Ginger juice
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup soda
Salt
Take fresh ginger root and shred it nicely and add into water and keep aside. You can adjust ginger flavor according to your taste. Usually I prefer strong ginger flavor. Add sugar, lemon juice and salt and mix well. You can also add half water and keep it in freeze and add half soda when you serve. You can strain the mixture if you don't like ginger shreds in to your drink.

Mango Madness


Normally people use ripe mango in salads, smoothies and desserts. But I will tell you secret recipe of drink in which key ingredient is raw mango. So go to the grocery store and find raw or partly ripe mango. These mangoes will be sour and it depends on how much ripe it is?
For 2 glass of mango madness drink you need following ingredients.

1 medium size raw mango
3-4 tablespoon sugar½ tsp. cumin powder
pinch of salt1 and
half cup of water
Square piece of mango for garnishing


Take one medium size mango peel it and cut into pieces. Let’s add little bit sugar for sweetness in to it; you can add more sugar if you like more sweet but I like tangy taste so 3 table spoons is enough for me. Now add salt and cumin and blend the mixture until you cannot see mango chunks.  Pour it in to glass garnish with mango and serve.You can make this drink prior to party or get together store it in refridgrator and serve chilled.

This proportion will make 1 glass of drink. For Peach Cherry cooler we required following ingredients:-

Wash cherries and peach nicely than cut in to pieces. Take a blender add all ingredients except sugar. Blend it well. As cherry is sweet you might not require sugar but if some people don’t like tangy than you might need to add it.
