This is my absolute favorite summer drink. I invented it myself and it’s infinitely refreshing. I’ve been wanting to share it for a while, but was waiting for the perfect weather, and this is totally the perfect weather. It’s limeade and grenadine and flavored seltzer. Vanilla seltzer is the best, peach seltzer a close second. Simple, bright, refreshing, beautiful. Also, Happy Fourth of July! I hope you’re doing something wonderful. We’re going on a bruschetta picnic at my new favorite place in North Carolina (more on that soon…) and then to the drive-in to watch Toy Story 3 and Twilight. Too good. Anyway, enjoy this drink, enjoy today!
