This Cactus Cooler has orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice and Grenadine. It’s perfect for warmer weather (which we’re experiencing in Phoenix!). It would be great with your Mexican or Southwest themed meals …. and since there is no alcohol, kiddos would love it too!
Cactus Cooler
I’m going through one of those phases were I want something different to drink. The problem is, I’m not really sure what I want. Nothing really sounds good …. do you ever have days like that?
I came up with this concoction using some stuff I had on hand. I was tempted to call this by another name, but I think I’ll save that name for another drink – so stay tuned for that one! 🙂
