We didn’t get a chance to go on a big bike ride this weekend. Friday was my sister-in-law’s birthday so we threw her a BBQ bash in our backyard. I love our “private” backyard! Here’s my “signature cocktail” for the party:
Spiked Strawberry Lemonade
Juice 8-10 lemons, removing the seeds but keeping the pulp
Mix lemon juice, pulp, 1/2 cup sugar and 8 cups water in a large pitcher; add 2-3 cups sliced strawberries. Refrigerate.
Pour 1.5 oz Lemon Rum (I like Bacardi) over ice in a highball glass; top with the lemonade (strain it); garnish with a strawberry or lemon slice– or both! Taste the summery goodness.
We did get a chance to ride down to the Delaware River on Thursday night to see this mean looking storm roll in:
B. Franklin Bridge and storm
Luckily we were on the right side of the weather this time and dodged raindrops the whole way home.
