What I'm Reading This Week #13

Friday is finally here!  Can I get a woot woot?!  (Cheers to those who actually did it.)  The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam!  Friday.  We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday.  The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys!  Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no.  We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house.  Soon enough I guess.   You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway.  So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get.  Enjoy. šŸ˜„ I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...

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.
