Cranberry juice was a big deal on the 50s. I was born in 1954 and I remember my material grandmother drinking cranberry juice and grapefruit juice in a variety of concoctions. My mother told me once that the 50s was the first time "normal" folks had disposal incomes and a lot of the cookbooks and magazines of that time shows that want of "fancy" foods. Like the juices, it was the first time regular people could afford fruit out of season so then companies, of course, started offering them bottled or canned to the masses. I know it must be so strange for a young person to imagine grocery stores not having orange juice year round. I am loving your channel, for me, it brings back some fond memories. 👵 Edit~ the reason I remember my grandmother drinking those juices was like most kids, I wanted sip of granny's drink. I was always sorry, but never learned my lesson. 😖 sour!

My aunt lived in Tampa and she used to make iced tea with 1/3 cup(s) of orange juice and lemon juice to about a gallon of water and 10-12 tea bags. The iced tea is so good, so maybe that Tampa Tea is a Tampa-area sort of drink.

Yay! You did the beverages! You are awesome! First off: I lived in Tampa for 20 years, and I never saw Tampa tea or heard people talk about it. I feel like Tampa cheated me. 😊 Second: My mother-in-law made cranberry sherbet for every Thanksgiving, but she and I were the only ones excited about it. When she passed away, the rest of the family decided that it wasn’t what people wanted. I very sadly said, “Okay.” One year I said, “Get me the recipe, and I will make it.” The response was, “Mom didn’t have a recipe. She just made it.” Again, I very sadly said, “Okay.” Definitely give it a try. Those were some great memories-bonding with mothers-in-law is both rare and priceless.

Funny that you mention Five Alive! This week I've been mixing orange juice, grapefruit juice, and frozen limeade concentrate to drink at work, and I think of it as "Five Alive Minus Two". I found the orange juice at 99 cents for a quart, the grapefruit juice was 57 cents for a quart, and the can of limeade concentrate was marked down 43% to $1.88, so I should really think of it as "Inflation-Buster Punch"! My summer drink selections don't go so far back as the 1950s, but they HAVE made quite a few trips around the sun. First, I compulsively brew sun tea in a glass former peanut butter jar, set inside a car on a hot day. I let it cool overnight, and then it's a perfect drinking temperature for breakfast and lunch. My favorite summer blender drink is simply Häagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream and buttermilk. My favorite summer store-bought drink is Dr. Pepper, just not in cans, that has been stored at the ideal soda pop temperature in my basement. And my favorite summer go-out-for-something-fancy drink is a Sonic "Real Fruit" lime slushie.

I grew up in the Tampa Bay area during the 50's and 60's. I can't recall "Tampa Tea" being a thing. Our fridge was always stocked with iced tea and orange juice, but it never occurred to us to combine them! I rather suspect that GH made up the name to reflect that the recipe included Florida's signature beverage - in the same way that recipes with pineapple were often called Hawaiian regardless of their origins.

With the second recipe, the reason it says to stir the sugar until dissolved is because at that point, the sugar has been added to hot liquid, and sugar dissolves readily in hot liquids. With the addition of cold liquids and ice, and undissolved sugar is likely to stay that way (leading to sugar sludge in the bottom of the pitcher/drinkware, and a less-sweet final product, since some of the sugar is sitting at the bottom.) Love, love, love this episode. And how cool that you have that glass from your great-great grandmother.

When I was very little, in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s, paper straws were all there was, although they WERE coated in Wax to last through your use. My Aunt would come each Summer weekend from Northern New Jersey to stay at my Grandma’s to go to the Beach. Grandma would make “Punch” for us to take to the Beach and always put in Pineapple juice. Even though Aunt always included my brother & me, I felt she was using Grandma & Pop as she hardly ever visited after the Summer Season was over. I’m going to have to make these for some Fun this Summer!

The restaurant chain McAlister's Deli and Cafe offers the option of adding a fruit juice shot to their iced tea: peach, black cherry, or strawberry. The iced tea with a peach shot is delicious and would be easy to replicate at home: just make some iced tea and add some peach nectar to it. The latter can be found in most grocery stores. I have to watch my sugar intake, so another one of my favorite iced tea hacks is to dissolve a packet of Propel sugar free sports drink powder in it. The Orange Raspberry and Raspberry Lemonade flavors are especially tasty in iced tea.

@e.urbach7780 Ай бұрын

The fruit juice and iced tea mixes remind me of the tea punches I used to make for summer tea parties; one part each of iced tea, fruit juice (I like pomegranate or cherry because it makes the punch a beautiful red color) and chilled carbonated or mineral water. The water and tea dilute the fruit sugar in the juice so it's not so bad for your dietary sugar intake (I am diabetic so I also have to watch my blood sugar) and it doesn't involve sugar free sweeteners (most of which upset my stomach). I like to use lemon or lime-flavored unsweetened carbonated water for this. So refreshing!

Fun episode!! I would give all 3 of these summer drinks a try, especially the first one with pineapple. Hope you'll do a hot drinks episode this winter!

I wonder if in the Raspberry Frost, you replaced the sparkling water with a grapefruit tonic water instead, it'd give it more of a zip and feel of an adult beverage without it being "adult".

I've had cantaloupe granita. And it's quite refreshing.

What a great episode. I remember we used to have lots of fruity drinks when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. My mom had a lot of those little recipe booklets with all kinds of good recipes in them. I used to love Five Alive years ago. I havent even thought about that for years. I can even remember the song from the tv commercial for it. You brought back some great memories for me today - thank you dear 🌸💚🌸💚🌸💚🌸

As you were showing your owl glass I was just saying to myself. I love your collection of vintage glasses, bowls and others that you have. A lot of your bowls I really want. And the owl glass 👌

I’ve seen Five Alive in the US recently, or at least in the last several years! I couldn’t tell you where, but now I’ll be on the lookout. I grew up on that stuff and always loved it.

I bet that is the elusive Dole Whip in milkshake form.

Thanks for giving these recipes a go. I think my kids would really like the raspberry-lemon ice float. I think it might taste great with strawberries too. Have a super day!

I love your mini juicer, but I don’t think I got the story on it. Not available now, I presume? Mental note: refrigerate sparkling water. Buy some first. 🙄 I too love drink options in the house. Single living can afford you that luxury. It’s not quite warm enough here (CO Rockies) for summer refreshers, but we’re getting there. Meanwhile, I’ll just nurse my White Russian. I never heard of Tampa Tea, but I’m nowhere near Florida. Sounds tasty, though. I’d love to borrow that recipe book. Must be all kinds of gems in there! In fact, I’d go a little crazy perusing your massive recipe book collection. Puts mine to shame! Cheers! 🍹 BTW: I’m now officially hooked on your channel and your presentations. You’re a natural hostess, making others feel comfortable. 😁

Thank you for the kind comment! My mini juicer was a gift from my mom a couple of Christmases ago. I think she found it at Marshall's, but you can still buy them on Amazon: amzn.to/4aKHp2h

I only heard of Long Island Ice tea and Sweet tea. Love your contents. I collect Cook books 😊🌹🌹

Hi! I have never heard it called "tampa tea" but sweet tea with lots of orange juice, or lime juice, is quite common where I grew up in North Florida and Central Florida. I usually hear it called POG Tea and it has passion fruit, orange juice, and guava juice! There's POG lemonade as well, it's delicious!

I'd love to see some of those icecream recipes! That raspberry drink looks so good. We're going into winter here but I think l'm going to have to throw caution to the wind and make myself some of that!
