Grapefruitade

Message Bookmarked

My boss brought bags and bags of citrus up from Palm Springs and nobody's eating it anymore so I'm concocting all sorts of indulgent beverages before it goes bad.

Yesterday, I made a drink containing the juice and pulp of one grapefruit, one orange, one tangerine, and a half a lemon. I added water and a teaspoon of sugar and put it in the freeze til it got slushy. It was like homemade Sunny Delight.

Today I'm making grapefruitade, the newest member of the lemonade-limeade-orangeade family. It proves to be excellent.

This is an excellent idea that deserves to be bumped. I'm going to try it when we next have good grapefruit.

Great grapefruit mixed drink that I had at an Italian place in Indy: Tanqueray #10 gin muddled with fresh sage leaf and a pinch of sugar, and a little grapefruit juice (about 4 parts gin to 1 part grapefruit juice). It's weird how well the three flavors go together (it could be any kind of gin, nearly).

"2 Can Sparks"???!!!

It's amazing to me that Sparks hasn't intro'd a new flavor yet... just that same old vaguely citrus/pineapple taste... Because when St. Ides introduced their special brew in the 90's, they had a deluge of fresh flavors... kiwi-lime, very berry, etc.

The McKenzie River Co. (makers of Sparks & Steel Reserve) have an office in San Francisco, with Friday night afterwork hip-hops bashes with all the free Sparks you can drink! They brought several cases of Sparks & Steel Reserve to my old office.. we drank ALL the Sparks but left most of the Steel Reserve outside for the homeless.
