It’s hard to believe that June is already coming to a close! For those who live in the United States or Canada, what are your plans for 4th of July/Canada Day?If you live in the U.S. and are planning or attending a party, you’re probably looking for some patriotic red, white, and blue desserts and refreshments. If you’re in Canada, you’re searching for red and white.
I have the perfect recipe! In fact, it’s so easy, you can’t really call it a recipe. These fruity ice cubes will add a festive flair to even the most plain-looking drinks. To make the ice cubes, feel free to use any clear drink. Perrier/sparkling water, Sprite, Ginger Ale, and 7Up are some of my favorites.
