One for the Table: Sparkling Rosemary-Ginger Lemonade
Summer is winding down, which likely means you're sunburned, overtired and ready for your kids to go back to school. I'm here to help. Are you ready for some relaxation? Here's what you need to do:
1. Make a batch of this sparkling rosemary-ginger lemonade and refrigerate it. Chill a tall glass in the freezer, and fill it with the ginger lemonade.
2. Find a comfy hammock or chaise lounge, preferably in a shady spot. Recline on it while sipping your ginger lemonade.
3. Tell your significant other, your kids, the dog or whomever to leave you alone. OK, maybe not the dog.
4. Listen to the hum of bees. Smell the sharp scent of freshly cut grass. Watch the clouds float by. It's a lazy summer day. Make the most of it.
5. If you're still not relaxed, pour yourself a second glass of ginger lemonade and add a shot of vodka or gin. Repeat steps 2 through 4.
