Cranberry & Ginger Fizz

When we eat out, I like to order for mocktails which are brightly coloured, and to my luck they taste good. I like cranberry based drinks most of the time. I was having a party at home a couple of months back and was looking online for some recipes for mocktails, especially something which had cranberry in it. I found this one which had ginger ale in it. Mr. Peter likes ginger & mint, so I made a few changes to that original recipe, and it turned out really well. All our guests enjoyed it, and I've made it a couple of times already.

This is a perfect drink during the summertime. When the temperatures are rising and it's really getting hot, it's essential that one stays hydrated all the time. It helps in cooling down. You can fix it up really quick and it's very easy to prepare.

Try this summer drink which not only looks good but tastes great and is absolutely refreshing. 

Ingredients:

1 cup cranberry juice

1 cup ginger ale

1/2 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon honey

Fresh ginger juliennes

Fresh mint leaves

Method:

In a jug, mix the cranberry juice, orange juice, honey, ginger juliennes and crushed mint leaves. Mix it really well till everything is incorporated. Then mix in the ginger ale and pour in glasses. Serve with ice if you like it very chilled.  Garnish with a few mint leaves. 

Enjoy and stay cool !!!!

Crunchy Veggie salad with a thousand island dressing

A salad is one such dish which consists of small pieces of food mixed with a sauce. It may contain virtually any type of ready to eat food. What I like about salads is that we can be so creative with the ingredients which is based around a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, eggs, nuts and leafy greens. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. Other types include Mexican bean salad, tuna salad, Lebanese fattoush, Greek salad, Thai Raw Papaya Salad and Japanese somen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include Ranch, Thousand Island, Caesar and French vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal such as an appetiser or side dish or as a main course. Food historians tell us salads (generally defined as mixed green...

Goa calling - Beaches, Sunshine & Memories to Treasure

Vagator Beach College days are among the most colorful chapters of our lives, filled with laughter, friendships, and unforgettable adventures. Class trips and outings, in particular, leave behind memories that stay etched in our hearts forever. In my final year of college, we set out on a trip to Goa—right around the time when the Hindi blockbuster Dil Chahta Hai was ruling the theatres. That film was my first glimpse of Goa’s charm, but experiencing it in person was something else entirely. I can still recall the joy of those days: the golden beaches, the lively parties, the endless shopping, and the mouthwatering food shared with friends. When the trip ended and we returned home, I was left with a lingering desire—a constant urge to go back to Goa again. That’s the magic of Goa. It isn’t a place you visit once and cross off your list. The first trip sparks a longing to return, and by the second, it begins to feel like a tradition waiting to be continued. Goa is renowned f...

Jaipur - Lost in the Pink City, Leaving Footprints Where Royalty Once Tread

We recently took a short vacation to Jaipur, and I still find myself mesmerized by its beauty. Often hailed as one of Rajasthan’s most enchanting destinations, Jaipur captivates with its charm and magnificence. Famously known as the Pink City , it owes its name to the striking pink sandstone buildings that line its streets, creating an atmosphere that feels both regal and welcoming. Jaipur is a city that overwhelms and enchants in equal measure. Its bustling streets pulse with energy—markets brimming with vibrant textiles and jewellery, majestic palaces and forts rising in grandeur, and a kaleidoscope of colourful people weaving through the chaos alongside cows, pigeons, and rickshaws. Every corner offers a sensory feast, with aromas of rich delicacies tempting your taste buds and leaving you utterly captivated. Jaipur means city of victory. The city is named after the king Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who left the city of Amber and founded a new capital in the 18th century. When t...
