Strawberry Pizzazz
Have you ever been sitting at home on a hot
summer day and wanted something refreshing to
drink? You go into the kitchen and there you find
the same old thing, soft drinks and Kool-aid.
Well, I have an idea, why not try Strawberry
Pizzazz. It is a fruity, refreshing drink that will
definitely quench your thirst on a steamy summer
day.
Making Strawberry Pizzazz is fairly
simple. You will need: 1 can of frozen pink
lemonade, 1 two liter bottle of ginger ale, 1
pint fresh strawberries, 1 container of Cool
Whip, ice and a blender. First, you slice your
strawberries up into the blender. Then add
your ice. Next, you pour in your can of pink
lemonade and about 2 cups of ginger ale.
Finally, you blend the ingredients until
completely mixed. When finished, pour into
cups and top with Cool Whip
Now you have made Strawberry
Pizzazz. So, the next time you are
sitting at home on a hot summer day,
wishing for a refreshing drink, why not
blend up some Strawberry Pizzazz and
sit back under the shade tree, relax, and
enjoy.
