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.

By the way, the benefits of oxygen cocktails for children are limitless. They stimulate the development of the body and fill it with energy.
