Brazilain Lemonade Mocktail

It's almost end of the month and that means time for ChefsAcrossBoundaries ! This month the super talented couple Priyanka and Souvik  from giggling spoon had picked up Brazil as the destination to expand our culinary horizon.With so much to try from this cuisine and understand , it was all fun to do this journey.

With scorching sun and the temperatures in 90's I can't think of anything else than something cool to quench our thirst and keep me hydrated.Here in my part of the world , it's almost 8 months cold ,so the transition of getting ourselves prepared to overcome the heat is quite tedious . Nevertheless I'm happy that coming out and meeting friends, walking and chatting .... there is so much to do out and I'm no exception.Simple and light food, quick and easy to make is my  choice these days.

I was intrigued to taste the Brazilian lemonade when I started my research in google.Without any hesitation I made and i just loved it. But later came this idea of a mock tail. Seasonal produce and colors were the inspiration and the result was just too good.

The best part is very simple ingredients, fuss free and above all it just takes 5 minutes . Why wait .... just get started and there you will have this yummy mock tail ready for you in no time.
