What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

Food Review: Ocean Spray Tropical Citrus Paradise Mocktail

We're not huge juice drinkers but when the grocery store was promoting this by giving it away for free, well, I'm gonna jump on it.


Since the enticing photo on the front relayed all things tropical and we were missing Hawaii, Tropical Citrus Paradise seemed like the logical flavor for us to grab.


I think calling it juice when it contains 15% juice and has 23g of sugar might be a wee bit of a stretch but it's made with no high fructose corn syrup so there's a plus.

Here's the nutritional info...


How does it taste?


Pretty darn good especially when you put a few pieces of fruit as a garnish, it kind of makes you feel fancy like you're having a real drink with the grown ups.  There's a fruity taste that you can't quite put your finger on.  It is called a mocktail but I think a shot of rum would kick it up if you're into that kind of thing.  If you want a nice change, I think you might like the refreshing summery taste of this flavor.  They also have Cranberry Peach Bellini and Cranberry Sangria flavors too if you'd like to offer non-drinkers or kids a fun option for gatherings.

What's your favorite Mocktail?  (Ocean Spray or otherwise)

    It is pretty tasty. I agree though, they should not be able to call it juice if it isn't really all juice. 15% juice is not much overall, but it does make for a great refreshing drink in this case.

    I've never seen these mocktails, but I'd like to try one. I'm down for anything that has pineapple juice in it. Pineapple juice and white grapefruit juice is a combo I really like from when I was young. I shall be perusing the store shelves this weekend to look for the Ocean Spray.
