Minty Pink Lemonade with ginger

I wonder how Sun plays a vital role in our lives. I might sound crazy to you all. But ,seriously when you live in a cold country with almost 6 months of dark and cloudy sky , you feel kind of low which we call winter blues.We , among friends refer winter as ' black and white ', as we get to see only snow and dark sky.But,when you see bright sun shine , it automatically brings brightness to our lives too. Don't you agree ? I feel like the life is back with all colors , the feeling of Spring.

I know it might be little early to enjoy a chill drink but I'm all set to do so. Usually , When Spring begins allergy season begins too. Nevertheless,Mother Nature has given us plenty of citrus fruits for this season to boost our immunity.

Since this poor grapefruit has a touch of bitterness , my boy doesn't prefer this. I simply make this pink lemonade and the boy takes it in loads happily. I'm also happy as I've sneaked some ginger there too.
