Efferve Sparkling Lemonades

I have a confession to make.....

I have a confession to make....

The only reason why I bought Effervè Sparkling Lemonade..

Was because I wanted the bottle.

There....I said it..

Whew..I feel much better.

On my recent trip to Aldi

I spotted a wonderful decorative bottle...

The last one on the shelf.

Let me explain....

We have been on a roll here at Turnips 2 Tangerines...

Experimenting with and making different flavors of

Homemade liqueurs and vinegar.

The minute I spotted this bottle,

I knew it would be perfect filled

with our flavored liqueurs and vinegar.

Plus...the perfect bottle for gift giving.

At $2.49 a bottle, this was a real bargain...

Plus, it was filled with some sort of sparkling lemonade.

I knew I needed more than one bottle....so

I quickly called my daughter and

asked her to run to Aldi in Appleton WI.

I told her to buy however many bottles that they had....

(I needed at least 10 bottles.)

A few hours later she called me back...

She bought 10 bottles, all that they had on the shelf.

Yippe!!

Now, what about the lemonade.....

Like I said, I wanted the bottles and

wasn't even thinking about the contents until....

I opened a bottle and was greeted with a loud whish....

I couldn't believe how bubbly the lemonade was.

I was even more surprised when I tasted the lemonade.

Bubbly, refreshing, with a nice lemony flavor.

Not at all overly sweet, like many lemonades.

Not only are the bottles fantastic, the sparkling

lemonade is fantastic too.

I emptied the contents of the bottles into

clean, gallon size, plastic water jugs.

I cleaned the bottles and was relived that

the labels washed right off.

I lined the bottles up on a towel to air dry.

I can't wait to fill the bottles with:

Homemade Liqueurs and Flavored Vinegar.

Tom Collins~

Gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water.

Even though this drink has been around for many years,

It has been somewhat forgotten about.
