Romily Alice Walden’s Fruity Spritzer

Sick Day Banquet

Image description: Three glasses filled with bright, almost fluorescent pink liquid, ice, and sprigs of mint sit on a green tablecloth. Red and white striped straws are also on the table.

Most of the time I just drink water, but hey, this is a BANQUET so let’s push the boat out or maybe just lie in the boat and sip on our snazzy drinks as we’re rocked gently by the waves.

I’m including a more labour intensive option that involves a blender and also a simpler option where no tools are required for when you want to feel fancy but blending things is just too much.

Fancy and tired: FRUITY SPRITZER

Tall glass
Ice
Fizzy water
Generous squeeze of lime Splash of grenadine syrup or ribena or whatever syrup / squash you like.

Simply combine ingredients to taste.

Fancy with blender: WATERMELON COOLER

Tall glass
Fizzy water
1 watermelon
3 limes
A handful of mint

Combine the watermelon, mint leaves, and lime juice in a blender.

Strain it if you’re very extra
or just keep it thick and your drink will end up with more of a slushy texture.

Add ice and fizzy water to taste.
