Notes
We’ve had a couple of requests to start throwing in some non-alcoholic mid-century drinks, so here we go! This is from a fun spread in Good Housekeeping Magazine called “Frosty Drinks” that I really thought was a blast. I am sure you will be seeing many drinks from this!
“It’s very…orange-y.”
“Did you stir up the orange concentrate at the bottom? I don’t know if it got mixed in completely.”
“Oh, no. That makes it much better.”
The Verdict: Interesting
From The Tasting Notes –
Not great, but not bad. Surprisingly isn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Has a good, orange-y flavor. Would be a great cool drink on a hot day, especially if you added some rum. Oops! I mean…more sherbet!
Maybe Tom wouldn’t look so sad if it had the rum.Oops! Added!
Looks great. I would love to also see some non-alcoholic drinks in there. I bet if you blended it into a smoothie it would be great too.
Thank you for posting this–been hoping you would do some non-a drinks! As much as I love the other concoctions, and keep some on file for friends and family, I can’t drink anything alcoholic. I have a severe allergy to it from taking a bp med for several years. (Yay side effects they don’t tell you about.) The other drinks look so yummy at times, and you have no idea how much I miss the occasional daquiri/margerita with Mexican food. And don’t even start me on near beers, sort of good in that sort of vague way. But keep up with the great recipes and Tom’s tasting notes, truly helpful.
