Drinks for Spring Break


Drinks for Spring Break!

            Spring break season has arrived! Put on your polka dot bikinis, oversized sunglasses and head down to the beach. G2 Organics has pulled some of our favorite Spring break drink recipes to share with you all.

Our first pick is the Watermelon Margarita. We love this drink because it is sweet, but is not too heavy on the calories thanks to the delicious watermelon!
            2 cups watermelon chunks, seeded
            4 oz. tequila
            1 oz. Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur
            1/4 cup fresh lime juice
            Ice cubes as needed
            Salt, to taste (optional)
            2 lime wedges (optional)
            2 lime slices

In a blender, combine the watermelon, tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and ice cubes and puree until smooth.


                        Our second pick is the Frozen Strawberry
-Basil Mojito. For a quick fruit and herb fix, this drink is sure to make your taste-buds wild. The sweetness of the strawberry paired with the strong basil herb taste is a perfect balance for a nice afternoon treat.

 



            The yummy stuff:
            rum
            1 can frozen limeade
            2 cups frozen strawberries 
            2 limes
            fresh mint
            fresh basil
            ice

Mixing it all together:
toss the frozen limeade in the blender
fill the empty limeade can with rum and add in
throw in 2 cups frozen strawberries
in a separate cup...
squeeze the juice of 2 limes 
toss in fresh mint and basil and muddle it all together
add the mixture to the blender
top it all off with some ice and blend away!!!
