Strawberry Pizzazz
Have you ever been sitting at home on a hot
summer day and wanted something refreshing to
drink? You go into the kitchen and there you
find the same old thing, soft drinks and
Kool-aid. Well, I have an idea, why not try
Strawberry Pizzazz. It is a fruity, refreshing
drink that will definitely quench your thirst on
a steamy summer day.
4
Making Strawberry Pizzazz is fairly simple. You
will need 1 can of frozen pink lemonade, 1 two
liter bottle of ginger ale, 1 pint fresh
strawberries, 1 container of Cool Whip, ice and a
blender. First, you slice your strawberries up
into the blender. Then add your ice. Next, you
pour in your can of pink lemonade and about 2
cups of ginger ale. Finally, you blend the
ingredients until completely mixed. When
finished, pour into cups and top with Cool Whip
5
Now you have made Strawberry Pizzazz. So, the
next time you are sitting at home on a hot summer
day, wishing for a refreshing drink, why not
blend up some Strawberry Pizzazz and sit back
under the shade tree, relax, and enjoy.
