This recipe can be a kid-friendly picnic drink, or an adult tipple with a few amendments. Either way, it’s a refreshing way to keep cool at your picnic. 1/2 cup lemon-flavoured Italian soda, or any flavour you prefer 1/4 cup peach nectar
A delicious picnic menu that’s sure to please P
1 tsp grenadine Fresh berries for garnish
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the grenadine, peach nectar and fill the rest of the glass with the Italian soda. Garnish with your favourite berries. If you’re making a pitcher, just triple the recipe and adjust the ingredients to taste. For a more adult drink, add an ounce of vodka, or try a twist on sangria by adding approximately ½ cup of muscato.
