Ok so as promised...here is our finished DIY Mod
Podge tray. It’s all dry and we added on a black decorative ribbon around the
edges.
Now for the drinks...
We tried one called Summer Slush. It ended up being
quite sweet so I would cut back on the sugar by at least half, maybe even more.
Both of the juices are sweet along with the 7 Up that we used.
For the Summer Slush you will need 46 oz. can (4 ½
cups) of pineapple juice, 12 oz. can (1 ¼ cups) of frozen orange juice , 3 cups
of sugar (this made it super sweet so try cutting it down to 1 ½ cups), 46 oz.
(4 ½ cups) of water.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a saucepan
and boil until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a 13x9 inch pan and a loaf pan.
We used some recycled containers along with a reusable container. Freeze
overnight. We let it sit for a couple of days.
When you are ready to drink,
chisel some of the frozen slush out into glasses and pour 7 Up over it. You can
also pour Ginger Ale, Club Soda, or even some of Vodka, Tequila, or Wine!
Some other drinks that we thought sounded interesting
are...
Mango Pineapple Frozen Sangria – Combine in a
blender, 1 bottle of sparkling wine (half frozen), 1 ½ cups of frozen apple
juice, 1 cup of frozen mango, 1 cup of frozen pineapple, and a 1/3 cup of
triple sec. Blend it until fully mixed and serve with a garnish of fresh
pineapple.
Watermelon Frosty – Combine in a blender, 2 cups of
frozen watermelon cubes, ½ frozen banana, juice of half a lime, ½ tbsp. of honey, 2-3 mint leaves. Blend until
incorporated but still thick. Garnish with mint and lime.
Pina Colada Smoothie – Combine in a blender 1 cup of
pineapple, 1 cup of frozen mango chunks, ½ banana, and 1 cup of coconut
milk. Blend until smooth.
Maybe we’ll give some a try in the warm weather
ahead. Enjoy!
