Drink Up

I am aching for spring time to arrive around here. With all the angst, I look for springy things on the internet. Today, I decided I will post three drinks (non-alcoholic...sorry those who were looking forward to otherwise) I think work perfect for a light, springy, Easter meal:

Spring Fever from about.com - a four fruit drink.

Ingredients:
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz mango syrup
1 1/2 oz apple juice
2 oz blood orange juice

Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a collins glass half-filled with crushed ice.


Tropical and fruity non-alcoholic drink recipes lists many different fruity mocktails..


I like Afterglow. Tastes good, looks good, I'm good.

1 part grenadine syrup
4 parts orange juice
4 parts pineapple juice
Ice

Mix. Serve over ice. (High ball glass)

Tropical Storm Drink from cooks.com is intriguing as well:

1 (8 oz.) can chilled, crushed pineapple in juice
1 lg. ripe banana, peeled and chunked
1 egg
1/2 c. dry milk (powdered)
1/4 c. water
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
13-15 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in blender. Cover. Blend medium speed about 1 minute or until ice is finely crushed. Serve in a hurricane glass.
