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 !
