Summer Drinks - Bajan "Lemonade"



Summer Drinks. Bajan "Lemonade"
It is 85 Degrees in Sunny Los Angeles and my day ended early so why not take a dip in the pool and cool myself off with a refreshing Lemonade. There I was looking around in my pantry for the ingredients and decided to spice it up with some Barbados Rum, the one and only Mount Gay Extra Old. In Barbados we make our Lemonade with Limes and not Lemons!!  It is a different taste but the rum adds a good kick to it. If you want to try it take a look at my recipe below.



The Ingredients are as follows:

8 Glasses of Water
4 Large Limes
1/4 tsp of Almond Essence
3/4 Cup of Brown Sugar
1 shot of Rum (to taste)
a dash of Angostura Bitters



Of course I ended up making twice that so you just double the ingredients. I love to have extra in case friends stop by to join me which seems to happen more often these days. Since I had more than enough I took some of the mixture and poured it into my popsicle molds and made some pops or as my friends call them "Rum pops". Great to have while relaxing in the pool ! Enjoy my refreshing Bajan Lemonade Popsicles !



Have a great Summer !
