Daydreamer's Bliss

What's in a name?  I couldn't decide what to call my latest drink concoction, a mocktail no less!  I'll wait while you pick yourself up off the floor ... I know, me and mocktails!  I was shocked too ;0)

Anyway, back to the not deciding part.  I had my drink in hand and the beanbag and I were vying for ultimate sun worshiping position on the balcony, the competition being the clothes horse!  Sun beating down, birds singing and Hubby out for the afternoon with the boys so no World Cup bellowing in the background.  Bliss.  A sip of the mocktail, I closed my eyes and the balcony turned into a white sandy beach on a caribbean island.  Sigh.  If only! 

So what to call this drink that is very loosely based on Nigella's Pussyfoot.  I had to adapt the recipe a bit owing to the fact that I'm not that keen on grapefruit juice.  Actually I'm not that keen on grapefruit period.  I wasn't too sure what to come up with as an alternative so I headed to the juice isle in my local supermarket and pretty much grabbed one of every flavour that I do like.  Thankfully creation number one is a winner. 

I toyed with the idea of Swaying Teapots (instead of Palm Trees) but being a mocktail there won't be much swaying going on.  So I've settled on Daydreamer's Bliss ... but if you can think of a better name then do let me know ... I'll be back on that caribbean island three floors up ;0)

Daydreamer's Bliss
3 cups orange juice
3 cups tropical juice
3 cups orange and passionfruit juice
3 tbsp grenadine
3 tbsp lime juice
Ice Cubes

Add all the ingredients into a pitcher (being the sado that I am I love it when the grenadine sinks to the bottom and turns everything a lovely girly flush of pink!)

Stir to combine and serve in a nice tall glass with accessories of your choice.
