Drink Recipes for Kids
How often do we want to treat our children to something delicious! At the same time, it is important to combine business with pleasure. In the summer, it is much easier to do this, because there are so many wonderful fruits and berries at hand. Today we are studying recipes for drinks for children.
Favorite lemonade
The recipe for natural lemonade is our answer to harmful sodas. Coarsely chop 4 lemons and turn them slightly in a blender. Mix 2 cups of water with 1½ cups of brown sugar and cook until it is completely dissolved. Cool the syrup, pour it into the lemon mass and put it in the refrigerator for 8-9 hours. Next, filter the mixture through a sieve and top it up with the juice of 2 grapefruits and 2½ liters of chilled mineral water with gas. For the most demanding sweeteners, you can add a little honey to this natural carbonated drink. At the bottom of the jug, put a handful of raspberries, a few slices of peach, pour lemonade and insist for another half hour in the refrigerator. Serve with ice and mint sprigs.
Watermelon Fantasy
Watermelon in a series of children’s sympathies is ahead of many fruits and berries. And adults will not refuse natural soft drinks with it. Cut out 700-800 g of watermelon pulp, select the seeds, cut it into pieces and put it in the bowl of a blender. A bunch of mint is divided into leaves, slightly crushed them in a mortar and combined with a watermelon. Pour in a glass of apple juice, the juice of 1 lime and whisk all the ingredients into a homogeneous mass. Making cocktails for children is a creative process, so any fantasies are welcome. With the help of cookie cutters from the pulp of watermelon, you can cut figures to decorate cocktails. Add a bright straw to the drink, and the little sweet tooth will be happy with such a dessert!
Tropical Adventures
Natural juice is especially useful for children. Unless, of course, they are allergic to fruits or berries. Take a couple of large ripe peaches, make cross-shaped incisions, dip them in boiling water for 10 seconds, and then — in cold water. Remove the skin, remove the bones, and put the pulp in a blender. Add to the peaches 200 g of fresh pineapple, juice of 2 oranges, 1 lime and 8-10 ice cubes from mineral water. Whisk the contents of the blender into a homogeneous mass, pour into glasses and decorate with slices of citrus. In the summer, you can come up with new fruit cocktails for children at least every day, because such a delicacy will never get bored.
Sweet weightlessness
For sure, the kids will also be interested in an oxygen cocktail — the same drink with air bubbles that is prepared in sanatoriums. The foam structure is created with the help of a shaker. For home use, an oxygen mixer is suitable. The basis of such drinks is juices, nectars and syrups, as well as spum mixes that are available for free sale. So, mix 50 ml of apple juice, 20 ml of cherry juice and 2 g of spum mixture. It remains to saturate the mixture with oxygen, and the wonderful weightless drink is ready. By the way, the benefits of oxygen cocktails for children are limitless. They stimulate the development of the body and fill it with energy.
Snow bananas
Who among us did not like milkshakes as a child? This drink still attracts young gourmets today. Banana cocktail for children is a great way to please them with health benefits. Peel 2 large bananas, mash well with a fork and transfer to a blender. Fill them with 200 ml of low-fat milk and add 400 g of softened cream ice cream without any fillers. Whisk all the ingredients into a homogeneous foamy mass, pour into glasses, serve with a bright tube and a dessert spoon. A gentle cocktail in the heat will especially go with a bang. So stock up on bananas and ice cream!
Strawberry Extravaganza
Summer is almost at an end, which means that you need to seize the moment to eat fragrant strawberries for the last time in the season. One of the most delicious ways to do this is to make a strawberry cocktail for children. A glass of ripe berries is washed in cold water, poured into the bowl of a blender and poured with a glass of chilled milk. An unusual taste and an indescribable aroma will give the drink a bag of vanilla sugar. A portion of melted ice cream will also be in place. Beat the mixture with a blender until it forms a homogeneous mass with foam and immediately pour it into glasses. This aromatic cocktail will make a lasting impression.
Chocolate fun
The rating of recipes for simple cocktails for children would be incomplete without chocolate variations. After all, this delicacy is loved by all children without exception. Heat 100 ml of milk on low heat and melt in it a bar of milk chocolate, broken into pieces. Cool the mixture a little, pour it into a blender and add 300 ml of chilled milk. Add 50-60 ml of cherry syrup — it will give the drink original berry notes. We turn all the ingredients into a cocktail, pour it into glasses, and sprinkle grated chocolate on top. This cocktail will appeal to even the most fastidious.
