Citrus-Mint Cooler
Copyright 2007 Lynne Rossetto Kasper
This cooler is an old standby at our house. With no alcohol, no sugar and lots of tart-sweet citrus, it's what to drink when the heat index is up in the stratosphere. As you sip, the mint leaves are bruised by the ice cubes—just enough to let loose some of that cool snap.
Serves 14 to 16
- 3 quarts chilled orange juice
- Fresh squeezed juice of 8 to 9 lemons
- 2 cups water
- 2 limes, thinly sliced
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- l large orange, thinly sliced
- Ice for serving
- One large bunch fresh spearmint
1. Blend the orange, lemon juice (start with juice of 8 lemons and sample before adding more), and water in large pitchers. Stir in citrus slices. Serve by filling glasses with ice and tucking in 2 mint sprigs. Pour in the cooler.
