Thirsty Thursday- Creamsicle Summer Drink

Summer time is all about hot days and cold drinks and ice cream. I'm going to show you guys a way to drink your creamsicle ice cream pop. There are two ways to make it and I will tell you both way.

Option 1:


1/3 cup frozen orange juice (1/2 of 6-oz can)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5-6 crushed ice cubes

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth. This one is more like a smoothie and not thick like a milk shake. Makes about two glasses.


Option 2:

1/3 cup frozen orange juice
1/2 cup milk
3-4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream

1. Once again blend till smooth. This one will be thick like a milkshake. You can add more or less ice cream depending on how thick you want it. Makes about 2 glasses.

This is option 1.

Thirsty Thursday- Classic Lemonade

Welcome to my first ever Thirsty Thursday blog post! Yay! :) I'm so excited to share some non-alcoholic drink recipes. For this first Thirsty Thursday I will making lemonade! I have NEVER made lemonade before and I think this came out pretty well. I pulled this recipe from Better Homes cookbook. This book is thick but has good stuff in it!

Coke not included in Lemonade ;)

Ingredients:

4 cups water
1 cup lemon juice (I used 7 lemons)
2/3 cup sugar
ice cubes
lemon slices (optional)

Directions:

In a pitcher combine water, lemon juice and sugar.
Stir till sugar dissolves.
Serve over ice or chill till serving time. Makes about five, 1 cup, servings.


This tasted a little sweet not to sweet though and not at all sour. I could drink gallons of this!
I recommend this lemonade for any summer barbecue!

This raps up this week first ever Thirsty Thursday guys. Tag me on Instagram when you made this recipe!
