mint and vanilla apple juice recipe

14.6.14


A few posts back I mentioned going to the fanciest restaurant in the history of forever ( so fancy I've forgotten the name ), and I had this amazing mint and vanilla apple juice. It was so delicious I asked the barman for a recipe. He was pretty rubbish though. Only gave me the obvious. This left me to do a bit of trial and error, and, after making about 4, I was getting compliments from my family about how delicious the drink was. So here's the recipe.

You will need
  • a glass/mason jar jug
  • crushed ice
  • cloudy apple juice
  • fresh mint
  • vanilla extract
Method
  • fill the glass up half way with the crushed ice
  • fill up the rest with the apple juice
  • put the teeniest tiniest drop of vanilla extract in and mix it thoroughly ( I swear I've never used that word before )
  • put the fresh mint leaves somewhere in the drink and the flavour will soon spread, adding some sweetness
  • drink outside in the sun and be glamorous with your non alcoholic cocktail. I very much doubt this counts as a cocktail though

Pineapple Retro. The amount of times I've heard my mum go on and on about this place. And when I finally went into it, I couldn't come out, yet the only thing I could afford was a cup I haven't even used yet. I should just be happy I finally got the chance to go, as it's in Hampshire, which is a looooong way to drive. It's my dream shop - bright colours and vintage fabrics, books, games, signs, AND EVERYTHING MOST THINGS WERE ORGANISED INTO COLOUR SCHEMES. That's not important though. When I walked in I had a brainwave that said BUY EVERYTHING, but after a closer look at the prices... nope. I completely fell in love with the artsy products, especially all the luminous lights. There was also a HUGE yellow statue of one of the signs you find on the front of men's loos, but I accidentally deleted the picture of that.
Let's count how many times I used capitals in that post.
So, last Wednesday I finished my exams and they were brutal. I'm in the midst of getting my results back and I won't talk about those anymore...
