Spiced Pomegranate Apple Cider. Spiced Pomegranate Apple Cider Christmas Recipes, Drinks, Holiday Recipes, Thanksgiving Recipes | 16 comments The week before Thanksgiving I was cruising the produce isle of my grocery store and saw a gallon of freshly pressed apple cider.
I tossed that into my cart with plans to make something warm to drink. See, I’ve decided that I don’t post nearly enough drink recipes. Why is that? Sure we have a couple favorites around here, like Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate from last winter. This Spiced Pomegranate Apple Cider really fit the bill. Now that it is feeling a bit more like winter around here, I am craving warm things to drink. More Winter Drinks for Sipping: What are your favorite winter drinks?

Brazilian Lemonade. This is my most favorite drink.
Ever. Maybe I’d feel differently if I drank (as in alcohol), but there is nothing I love more than a warm, breezy afternoon and a pitcher of Brazilian lemonade. I didn’t try it for a long, long time because I was very put off by putting sweetened condensed milk in with citrus fruit. It seemed very wrong. And then I had some at Tucano’s and my life has not been the same since. It starts off with fresh, juicy limes. You pop them in a blender with some sugar water and pulse just a few times.
Pour the mixture from the blender through a strainer and into a pitcher, thus saving all of the flavorful liquid. Then the secret ingredient: sweetened condensed milk. Brazilian LemonadeOur Best Bites Ingredients: 4 juicy limes (try and find ones with thin, smooth skins; they’re the juiciest and the thin skin cuts down on the chance of your drink being bitter) 1 c. sugar 6 c. cold water 6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk Instructions: Place 1/2 of the limes in your blender.
Strawberry Basil Lemonade. This Strawberry Basil Lemonade is coming to ya from the archives but I’ve given it a bit of a face lift.
Strawberry Basil Lemonade was basically the first drink recipe I ever post on WGC and it’s been my most requested drink ever since. It’s a refreshing blend of homemade lemonade that gets fresh strawberries and basil pureed into the mixture. Depending on who’s enjoying this with me, I’ll add a glug or two of gin or just leave it “virgin” and enjoy it over some ice. Either way, it’s the best drink out there and you should probably be drinking this come Monday by the pool working on your tan.
At least that’s what I’ll be doing poolside, in Tucson, with my besties. And while this doesn’t directly figure into book tour, I’ve also managed to schedule just about every single meal while I’m in Tucson so I can hit up my favorite places to stuff my face while I’m there. So in the meantime, grab some lemons, strawberries and a handful of fresh basil and let’s make some cocktails or mocktails!
