Time for June bugs

It's going to be a hot day in Minnesota today. We're talking 92˚ and humid. bleck!


So, because I care, and want everyone to stay cool, here's a suggestion for beating the June heat.


June bugs!


I'm not talking the creepy crawly kind my friends. (tempted to insert photo of creepy crawly June bug...I am restraining...but I am tempted!) I'm talking the sweet, refreshing drink called the June bug.


I found this recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine.


These few ingredients make a perfect beat-the-heat beverage.


Oops, missing the orange juice...you need OJ too!


1. Pour 3 cups ginger ale into the pitcher of a blender.




2. Add in 4 Tbsp grenadine.




3. Add in 4Tbsp orange juice.



4. Add in 3 scoops of orange sherbet.




Blend together. Pour into ice filled glasses.




Serve this round of June bugs to the children.


Now, repeat steps 1-4 and add in 1/2 cup of white rum. Blend, pour into ice filled glasses and serve the adults!




YUMMMMM! 


June bugs, a great way to beat the heat, all summer long!
