STRAWBERRY SPRITZER Makes 24 (4oz) servings

3 10oz pkgs frozen sliced strawberries (sweetened) 6 C white grape juice, chilled 1 28oz bottle soda water, chilled (or liter)

Let strawberries stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place and process 2 pkg of undrained berries in blender for food processor. In large pitcher combine processed strawberries, grape juice and remaining strawberries. Pour in soda water; mix gently, chill and serve.

My notes: This is a recipe that was adapted from an older recipe but that was 20 years ago so feel free to use fresh sweetened berries (any variety you choose) or unsweetened. Also, any other juice that you think would be good can be substituted for the white grape juice. The amount of soda water is negotiable too. But, I would suggest that if you use ripe blueberries you may want to add a bit of lemon juice since they can be a bit bland. Also, the original recipe called for food color to be added but that is not needed.

SPICED BEER TODDY

8 C water 2 12oz cans frozen lemonade concentrate 1/2 c honey 12 inches stick cinnamon, broken 2 t whole allspice 2 t whole cloves 4 12 oz cans beer 1 C gin or vodka

In an 8 quart dutch oven combine water, lemonade concentrate and honey. For spice bag place cinnamon, allspice and cloves in cheese cloth and tie; add to mixture. Bring to boil; reduce heat cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove spice bag. Chill thoroughly, add chilled beer and gin or vodka. Serve cold. For a hot toddy, after removing spice bag add beer and gin or vodka and heat through. Serve warm.
