Quick Summer Drinks - Granitas



Quick Summer Drinks - Granitas
In this hot summer the mind, body and lips looks for a chilled cooler drinks. Here I am going to show you how to make a quick mocktails but you can also add a peg of vodka in any of these drink to make it a cook cocktail.
For me to make any summer mocktail I prepare a base ice crush with lime. here is how it goes
Servings of these drinks are at the content for 4 persons

BASE

Ice - 4 glass
Lime - 4-5 pcs
Sugar - 5-6 table spoon
Plain Soda
Now, take a mixie jar and squeeze the limes in it add 6 tablespoon of sugar and pour in the 4 glasses of ice. Grind them nicely in the blender so that atleast 70% of the nice is crushed, it does not matter if there are few ice cubes still intact.
Now, pour the lime n ice mix equally to 4 tall glasses. This is the base I was talking about and it can be used for any cocktail mixtures.

Various Concoctions

You will get these syrups/cordials in the supermarket, Mapro is a company which makes them nice and cheap
1) Blue Curacao -
2) Orange Citrus
3) Litchi Cordial
So what I do is, after the preparation of the base I place 1 and half tablespoon of any of these cordials in the glass on top of the ice and then fill it up slowly with soda. (You can add a peg of white rum or vodka too).
What you get is a sparkling nice summer coolant.
You can also mix maaza to a mix of orange citrus drink... its a nice mix.
You can add mint leaves and shake it with the ice before adding soda.... these gives you a nice mint based granita...
You can play around with a lot of mixture on top of the base which I prepared.
So let your mind freek out in making your own drink
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
