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 summer time. 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 such 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 !!!!

Alappuzha- Venice of the East.

That was our houseboat A couple of years back, Mr. Peter and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on a houseboat in the backwaters of Alappuzha. All that we wanted was to be away from the city and noise and all the hustle & bustle......moments which had just US !! It was a spontaneous trip. I still remember that our anniversary was on a Saturday. Mr. Peter was busy with work at office and kids had school, so we couldn't take off on that Friday. Trains & flights were not available in accordance to our timings, so we took the bus on that Friday night from Bangalore. It was our kids' first time on a long distance bus journey. And luckily they slept....no tantrums. We reached Alappuzha around 8am. Our tour manager told us that we had to check in to the houseboat at 11 am at the Finishing Point. There was still a lot of time left before we could check in to the houseboat. So we hired an auto and asked him to take us around this little town of theirs.....for a

Goa....pack your bags for an extended vacation

Vagator Beach College days are the colourful days of our lives. And class trips and outings leave a memory in our hearts for a lifetime. In my senior year of college, we had been on a trip to Goa. This was around the time when a super hit Hindi movie - Dil Chahta Hai had released and was running successfully in the theatres for a long time. This movie was when I actually saw the beauty of Goa. I remember having a lot of fun with my friends on that trip....the beaches, the parties, the shopping, the food..... And when our trip was over, and when we got back home....I always had the urge to go back to Goa again. That's the kind of feeling that Goa leaves you with. Goa is not the place that you visit once and cross off from your list. After the first visit it becomes an urge to go again and after the second, it might turn out to be a tradition! Famous for full moon beach rave parties, a hippie-run night market and the kind of laid-back tropical vibe that you can really

Ooty - A drive to the Queen of the Hills

To quote in the words of Dalai Lama - "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before". School had closed for the summer and we haven't been anywhere for quite a long time.....and I've often felt that it is not good to keep a vacation waiting. The summer heat was really getting on to us and we needed a break.....and us being the splurge of the moment kinda people....we took a spontaneous decision to drive to Ooty, one of the most of the most beautiful hill stations in India, and hence also fondly referred to as the “Queen of Hill Stations”. From north to south, India is blessed with nature's most beautiful creations that turn the country into a heavenly abode for travellers. One such pristine resort nestled at a height on Nilgiri Hills in South India is Ooty (Ootacamund). This hill station has splendid green downs and lofty hills of extraordinary scenic beauty and is endowed with a salubrious climate. Located in the Western Ghats at a h
