Thirsty Thursday


I found a drink I'd like to try for Thirsty Thursday, but I haven't tested it out yet.
It looks like a fun idea for a kid's Halloween Party. Let me know if you've tried it before, or if you test it out on your kiddos.

I especially think the wiggle worms would make this a hit with little ones!


From the Better Homes and Gardens Website:




(for me, I'd just use plain orange juice instead of pineapple-orange--I'm allergic to pineapple!)


Fruit Drink Spritzer with Wiggle Worm Ice


Ingredients
1 12-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate
1 12-ounce can apricot
nectar, chilled
2 12-ounce cans lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
1 6-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate
Chewy, fruit-flavored candy worms
Directions
1. For ice, prepare one 6-ounce can frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate. Arrange chewy fruit worms in the bottom of a 4-cup ring mold. Pour juice into mold to almost cover worms. Do not allow the worms to float. Cover and place in freezer for 1 hour or until frozen. Add any remaining juice to mold. Cover and freeze until firm.
2. In a small punch bowl, prepare the 12-ounce can pineapple-orange juice concentrate according to package directions, using cold water. Stir in the apricot nectar. Add the carbonated beverage, stirring gently to mix. Unmold the ice ring by running cool water over outside of mold; carefully add ring to punch. Makes 10 (8-ounce) servings.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare ice ring and store in freezer up to 2 weeks before using.

Wow, allergic to pineapple? I've never heard of that. Thanks for participating Mama Koala! I hope others start playing along... I think drinks are so fun and don't get the attention like other recipes. I'm sure I'll try this once Addy gets a bit older and starts having her own parties.
