Universal Summer Drink With Luigi Bormioli - #GlassForEveryOccasion - #LBandMe

I'm still trying to find the wine that agrees with me. I've tasted a few and so far, rum and baileys are the only ones that seem to tickle my palate. However, I do love sparkling drinks and the regular water and fruit juices in beautiful and strong glasses!

With young children at home, I usually purchase very strong drinking glasses or cups, that would not shatter easily.  I do not have to tell you how easily children handle things without the awareness of a possible mishap, especially fragile things!

It is so nice to have beautiful glassware on the table when I set the table for dinner or a special occasion.

We live in Cajun country and my mother is visiting with us for a little while. I do make healthy meals here at home and one of the Cajun favorite is Red Beans and Rice.
I wanted to introduce her palate to this specific taste, so I decided to make both introduction of Luigi Bormioli glassware and our Cajun dish in one night!

Everyone oohed and aahed over the Luigi Bormioli glassware! I was very cautious with the usage by the children, especially with their excitement on full tilt! My children are used to the recipe and it's one of their favorites. My mother came on board at first bite :)


The glasses are so beautiful and as we say, we love to hear them sing as we toast :)
The adults get to handle the Bach flute and the kids can carefully use the Bach DOF.

The children asked for their favorite juice in their glassware and the adults kept calm until dessert time :)

As I've learned from a friend of mine, you can always tip something into your orange juice :)

My mother is a very good cook, so it was good to be able to make her do the food moan with the tasting of this new recipe for her.

I really love the feel and elegance of the glassware. It's not too heavy or light and just feels good between the lips.

One of my very favorite drink is one I learned to make in my country. It's a natural, healthy, universal drink that works for any season. My children loves this drink best! I think I must invest in a juicer to make it as often as they desire.
Here is my recipe, use and mix it up as desired. I love that I"m drinking something healthy and good for my body.


Universal Summer Drink - Limeade printable recipe 


With the hot and humid LA heat upon us, it’s all about cool drinks and smoothies. I love having a jug of limeade (lemonade in other countries, but we use limes instead of lemons) chilled and ready to drink. Now that I’m in the United States, I use both lemon and limes together and separately :)

Tip 1: If your limes are hard, roll them on the counter for awhile until they are much more softened. This way you get more juice, and it’s easier on the hands to do the squeezing, if you are not using a juicer.

Tip 2: slice a lime or lemon and put it on the edge of the jug with the lemonade for a beautiful presentation.

Tip 3: You can use this recipe for cocktails, just add your rum or whatever alcohol to the mix and serve over ice.

Ingredients
7 cups cold Water - Or enough in your 12 qt container for the amount of people present.
7 juicy Limes - Use more depending on the ‘tang’ you prefer
2 Lemons
3 cups Brown Sugar or you can use white sugar if you want a nice clear limeade. Or just sweeten to your desired taste as I do
1 Tbsp or so of Molasses - Sometimes I used molasses and MOST times I don’t.

Directions:

1 Using a strainer, squeeze enough limes and your  lemons to make a cup of juice
2. Add squeezed juice, brown sugar, and molasses to the water and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Taste to ensure goodness.
We prefer a bit more tang, so sometimes I’ll use even more limes.
3. Refrigerate or serve immediately over crushed or cubed ice.

Makes 8 servings
