It makes me feel like I am on a beach or far far away from the city. I feel on vacation. Don’t you agree? Sometimes, a nice drink, a relaxing summer chair, and a good book are all that I need to relax. For this upcoming summer season, I tried this delicious mermaid punch mocktail recipe. My daughter went nuts when she saw it. It is totally cute and so easy to make!

  1. Brilliant! It looks so refreshing as well, I love that it has a hint of lime and some pineapple juice. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!

  2. I love the idea of creating mocktails for kids. I remember always ordering a Shirley Temple when out with my parents as a kid. It would have been nice to have options.

  3. I am always looking for something new to drink. It seems like all the same beverages get boring. I have a hard time getting all my water in before I venture to flavored drinks but am more than ready for something yummy. Thanks for the new ideas!

  4. First of all those are absolutely BEAUTIFUL drinks! I wouldn’t want to drink mine they’re so pretty! Secondly … Welches Watermelon juice? What? I LOVE watermelon juice but have only found it twice in the US. I had no idea Welches makes it. I’m looking it up right now and you can bet it will be on my next grocery list!
