Strawberry Punch

Recently when we had a party, one of our close family friends Rohini made this strawberry punch. It was so good that I ended up drinking quite a bit of it.

Not only is she a wonderful person, she is one of the great cooks I know personally.

Thanks Rohini for sharing such a refreshing drink.

Recipe:
(Serves 4)

• About 15 strawberries
• one liter ginger ale
• Half liter bottle - sparkling soda/ club soda ( we used club soda)
• Half liter bottle - lemonade

Make puree of the strawberries and chill for few minutes in the refrigerator.
Chill the soda,ginger ale and the lemonade too.

When ready to drink, take a glass put few pieces of ice, little bit of the strawberry puree, soda and lemonade. Mix and enjoy this refreshing punch during this spring and summer times.

Note:
To Jazz it up, you can also add some slices of strawberries in the punch.

Mocha Frappuccino

       

The cool and refreshing taste of a starbucks frappuccino beverage is a mocha frappuccino. Mocha flavored frappuccino is a rich and creamy chocolate-coffee drink. For someone who likes chocolate and coffee , having these two together is heaven.

Recently my nephew Neil made this drink and i just loved it. He even dressed up this drink with some whipping cream, chocolate syrup on the top and garnished with berry’s. He then said common attayya (aunt) take the picture. I always see a chef in him, with so many creative ideas. Just like Venkatesh( his uncle) he is going to be a doctor and both love to cook and experiment their food. Way to go Neil !

Chocolate is some thing i just cant take my hands off. Now having chocolate as a cold drink, what’s not to like about.

Procedure:

I am not writing the exact proportions of the ingredients, because this drink can be whipped up according to your taste.

• espresso or any type of coffee, cold
• whipping cream
• chocolate syrup
• crushed ice
• garnish with berry’s (optional)

In a blender combine all the above ingredients until the ice is crushed completely and the mixture is smooth.  While serving top it of with some whipping cream and chocolate syrup.
