Moonlight Sonata
- 1 very ripe mango
- Juice of 1 large navel orange
- 1 cup chopped peaches (frozen, home-canned or fresh)
- 4 twelve-ounce bottles of GUS (Grown Up Soda) - or other very dry - ginger ale
- One large bottle seltzer water OR a bottle of Prosecco OR a combination of both
- Limeade ice cubes made from homemade limeade (Please see note below.)
- You'll need 4-6 limes and sugar to taste for that.
- Mint or lime slices for garnish.
- Note: You can use Reed's Ginger Beer instead of the GUS, if you like.
- Chill the ginger ale, seltzer and/or Prosecco. Chill your pitcher, too.
- Peel the mango and cut/scrape the pulp into a blender.
- Add the orange juice and peaches. Puree for about two minutes. Push through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Pour into the chilled pitcher with the ginger ale and seltzer water and/or Prosecco.
- Stir well. Serve over limeade ice cubes, and garnish with mint or a slice of lime.
- Enjoy!! ;o)
- Note: To make one tray of limeade ice cubes, make a simple syrup (easily done in a one cup glass or plastic measuring cup in the microwave) by cooking 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 4 tablespoons of water until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze 2 or 3 limes directly into the cup. Stir well. Immediately add enough cold water to fill up the ice cube tray (1 to 1 1/4 cup total, for most trays). Freeze. Make as strong or sweet, or not, as you like. To serve 8, you should make two trays. ;o)
