Anti-Cocktail
"I drink this when flying instead of alcohol. It helps to keep me hydrated. The recipe was given to me on a flight from Philly to LA by a flight attendant. I had upgraded to first class, so the flight attendants were great!
This is also my drink of choice when I am trying to keep a clear head while everyone else is indulging in alcohol or if I am taking medication that doesn't mix with alcohol. It makes me feel like I am having a cocktai. Try it the next time you are the designated driver."

Good flavor combination but a tad too tart. This could use a little sugar. Made for PAC 2012 Fall. -
This was quite refreshing. I squeezed the juice of the whole lime (not just 1 lime wedge, as stated in the directions), but it was OK because I like a lot lime-based cocktails. But it was just a tad tart, so I would recommend others stick with the juice of a single lime wedge unless they want an extra-tart drink. It was still quite delicious, in my opinion. I was thinking of serving this for our family Thanksgiving feast this year to those who don't embibe, and maybe add a splash of cranberry juice. But even as written, this is quite a refreshing beverage.

Very good, thanks

I enjoy cooking the most when there is time to experiment. I substitute all kinds of ingredients to use what I have and avoid extra trips to the store. Growing up, I watched my mom cook. She never measured anything, but cooked by feel and approximations. I am known to measure quite a bit, but since I substitute so much, my dishes never taste the same way twice. I try to avoid packaged food and cook from scratch whenever possible.
Since I dislike grocery shopping in city supermarkets (too small and crowded), I shop online for groceries every 3-4 weeks and have them delivered by the store in a refrigerated truck. I just pick up milk and produce and in between. I love the local farmers markets around the city each summer and fall, too!
