COLD DRINKS
FOR HOT DAYS
By Miss Virginia Blount,
Home Service Director of the
Virginia Electric & Power Co.
Hot days demand cool drinks.
Even the sight of the sparkling
liquid in tall glasses, and the tink
ling of the ice, are cooling. How
refreshed one feels after sipping a
cold beverage, and when it is made
of fruit juices it is of important
food value because of the vita
mins and minerals contained.
The children as well as the
grown-ups want cold drinks. A
“Home Soda or Home Mixed
Drink” can be just as much fun
for everyone, and the drinks made
of pure fruit juices will be what
we should have. You may use
fruit juices and combine them in
various ways. A little lemon juice
gives point to all other fruits. A
tea infusion makes a good base for
many punches. Ginger Ale also
makes a delicious beverage, adding
“zip” to a mild drink. Many re
freshing drinks may be made from
grape juice as foundations, plain
or charged water may be used. Re
member that if you should lack
one or two of the ingredients in
these recipes, you may omit them
or substitute to your taste.
