Drinks are so overlooked, aren’t they? I freely admit that many nights I’m so engrossed in the preparation of food that I forget to even think about drinks with dinner. Sad, really because there are so many types. One of our favorites is lemonade filled with fruit. Another is homemade green tea with honey and lemon. The benefits of having a decent drink with your meal are many, easing digestion not being the least of them, but they can also help you eat less by making you feel fuller.
What about drinks for drinks’ sake? One of our favorite dessert drinks is the all-American ice cream float. So simple, and the variations are just about endless. This time of year they really hit the spot, too. Start with a favorite soft drink, a favorite ice cream, and create!
A single scoop of ice cream (or two, if you like!) in a tall glass topped with your favorite soft drink produces a fizzy mass of creamy goodness just waiting to be brought to a delicious demise with a straw.
Some of our favorites:
Vanilla ice cream and root beer – a true classic.
Chocolate ice cream and cherry cola.
Vanilla ice cream and cream soda – mmmm – my very favorite!
Raspberry ice cream or sherbet and ginger ale.
The list goes on and on and on, limited only by your imagination. Try one today and make sure to share yours with us!
