Labor Day Weekend Beat-the-Heat Treat

We've included this recipe in our in-bag messages a couple of times, and we thought we'd post it online because Labor Day weekend is shaping up to be a scorcher.

This is is like an adult's lemonade -- what with club soda and grapefruit in it, kids run away screaming. But for the adult palate, it's right on. All ingredients are essential -- no substitutions or it ends up yuck (no pink or blue sweetener packets, please!).

1/2 cup Grapefruit juice
1 to 2 tsp Sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup Club Soda

And for the kids, try a sweeter, simpler version by mixing

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup seltzer water (you can use any bottled sparkling water).

Tastes just like that fancy Orangina stuff that costs two bucks a bottle, doesn't it?
