I love spending time with my family. I love impromptu outings, enjoy stopping to chat with the kids, and am always up for them to take me out to eat. What I rarely have is “me time.” That’s one of the reasons I enjoy going on press trips. I have me time and spend time with other adults. This summer I have decided to spend a few minutes by myself or with friends at least once a month. One of my plans is to have a Girls Night In during the month of July. We can sit around and catch up on all the latest happenings in our lives, watch some of the adult shows on Netflix, maybe have a Breaking Bad marathon, and eat tasty snacks. I’ve even discovered the perfect mocktail for us; the Georgia Peach. It’s originally made with peach schnapps and sometimes an orange liquor, but this version can be enjoyed by everyone!
Here’s what you need to make it: Only three ingredients! All right, four if you count ice.
- 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cranberry juice
- I (12 ounce) can peaches in heavy syrup, drain syrup and reserve
- 2 cups (16 ounces) ice
- Mix orange juice concentrate, cranberry juice and syrup for the can of peaches in a blender. Add two cups of ice. Blend until smooth.
Stumped about what to watch in your free time (yes, I know you are laughing) this season?
Netflix also has the sleeper hits I’ve heard of but never had time to watch. I’m debating whether I want to watch Call the Midwife next. If you have watched any of these shows, leave me a recommendation.
What are your favorite ideas for a Girls Night In?
A good movie and a nice drink. Sounds wonderful!
That looks like the perfect refreshing Sunday afternoon beverage. Scandal tops my list of favorite shows. Nice round up!
Looks very nice and refreshing. I bet the kids would enjoy feeling all grown up with it.
Oh yum that drink sounds delicious – I don’t drink so mocktails are right up my street 🙂 x
Yummy and i like that you used diet juice to cut calories but not flavor.
I’m loving the look and that sound of a mocktail right now. As for Netflix, hubby has been looking at Orange is the new Black as well. I have been catching up on the Real Husbands of Hollywood episodes that I’ve missed. 🙂
Now that looks very tasty! Will have to try this.
I don’t think I have ever had a peach flavored drink like this, so I would love to give one a try. It sounds like a nice, refreshing summer drink.
My son would love this mocktail! I bet it would also taste good with liquor added to it.
Oh yum! I have never used the diet cranberry, but I do use the No Sugar Added.
That looks amazing! great mix of ingredients for what seems to be a very refreshing and yummy drink!
That looks so refreshing!! I love anything with peaches. Will have to try this recipe soon!
