4 DIY Mocktails To Try This Summer
http://bonavidabcn.com/

It’s summertime! Whether or not you like to spike your drink, anyone can enjoy a fruity refresher to cool them off in the hot heat.I’ve got four ideas for non-alcoholic drinks for you to test out in your own kitchen. Add or take away any ingredients you please, the end creation is yours!

The Raspberry Margarita Mocktail

  • Agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup of lemonade
  • Four raspberries, smashed up
  • Garnish with a wedge of lime

This is such a fun drink because the raspberries transform the lemonade into a delectable red color. Pop some whole raspberries in there as well, and add another element of decoration.

The Goddess Mocktail

  • 1/2 cup of hibiscus tea
  • Half of a vanilla bean (snap it in half, slice the half open and scrape the half of the vanilla bean out. Let the flavor soak in the drink then you’re done)
  • Add some sweetened iced tea
  • Garnish with a wedge of lemon

For all you goddesses out there, this one's for you! Refreshing and calming, it's the perfect combo for relaxing on a lounge chair and getting kissed by the sun.

The Sunshine Mocktail

  • Squeeze half of a clementine
  • Add a half of a squeezed grapefruit into the already squeezed clementine juice
  • Add some strawberry lemonade to the mixture
  • Put in a couple frozen pieces of mango

This one is a beauty, and probably the most fruity of them all. If you feel like amping it up, try adding some bubbly seltzer water.

A Lavender Mocktail

  • 1/4 cup of a mixture of squeezed lemon and lime
  • 1/2 cup of steeped lavender tea
  • 1/2 cup of steeped raspberry leaves
  • Add a bit of agave syrup

This is a less fruity drink, but interesting nevertheless. If you're a big iced tea person, this is right up your alley. Be careful not to over-steep your tea (over four minutes) as it can become a little too strong when combined all together.

Add some ice to a fun cup, garnish with your favorite fruit and enjoy!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
