Meyer lemon, blood orange w/ mint spritzer & a sweet giveaway!

in Beverages, Giveaway

Happy Tuesday!!

Wow, it was a whirlwind weekend attending Food Blog Forum courtesy of Walt Disney World and many other wonderful sponsors that I can’t wait to work with in the future.

There’s so much to share, but thought to just soak it all in with a glass or two of meyer lemon, blood orange with mint spritzer, reading Joy the Baker’s beautiful cookbook.

3 lucky readers would get a chance to win Joy’s cookbook, so read on!

Ever since the blogging world had their chance of showcasing meyer lemon recipes, I’d on the other hand was mad at my local grocery store. Every single visit to them was a nightmare. I couldn’t get my hands on meyer lemons.

Can it get anymore worse? Yes. We’ve never tasted meyer lemons before, so the curiosity was literally testing my patience.

After endless scouring, we found these babies at Whole Foods — gotta love WF for versatility in the produce department.

Now, enough of me complaining. While I sip and browse through Joy’s beautiful cookbook, care to join in the fun with a glass or two? Go make this now, I’ll wait 🙂

Ingredients:

[Makes 3 servings]

  • 2 meyer lemons, juiced
  • 1 blood orange, juiced
  • 1 can of ginger ale
  • 2 heaping tbsp honey
  • a few sprigs of mint
  • some ice cubes

Directions:

  1. Chill serving glasses ahead, in the refrigerator.
  2. To prep, add juiced meyer lemons + blood orange with honey and mint in a small pitcher. Mix and muddle everything to combine.
  3. Gently stream ginger ale into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add a few ice cubes in the chilled serving glasses. Top it with spritzer and garnish with some fresh mint leaves & thinly sliced meyer lemons.


Cheers!

Are you back with a pitcher and a glass in your hand? What’s only missing is Joy’s Cookbook, right? Not to worry my friends, read on…

Before I give more details on the cookbook giveaway, can we all just give Joy a round of applause?!? What an amazing journey she’s had and I couldn’t be more thrilled when she announced a cookbook deal.

Well, it was about time, no? 😉

If you’ve never came across Joy’s blog, you must now. She is such an inspiring blogger with so much sense of humor I feel we are somehow related from previous lives.

Her cookbook, “100 Simple and Comforting Recipes“, truly reflects her personality, witty and writing skills from her blog. Truly love that she’d reflected her blog into this cookbook!

I mean, just look at the content and page titles. Who does that at all, right? 😀

Hope to meet you someday, Joy and congratulations on the success of your beautiful, thoughtful and scrumptious looking recipes. Can’t wait to experiment in the kitchen!

ps: Any chance of visiting Orlando, FL on your cookbook tour? 😉 No harm in asking, I hope!

Grocery stores in my area still don’t have any Meyer lemons. 🙁 I guess I can do with regular lemons.
I want the pretty cookbook… So I will take a shot: I love slurping on fruit smoothies or just lemongrass green tea… Joy went to Seattle and Portland and both ways are about 4 hours away from where I live. So sad I couldn’t make it to see her.

I just saw Joy’s cookbook on the shelf in my local Barnes and Noble and thought it looked so interesting. I would love to win a copy! My favorite spring drink has got to be Limeade with Crushed Mint. Simple, easy, and refreshing.

Love this drink with the oranges and the rest of the ingredients you have used. Perfect for soothing and the cooling effects down the throat esp when the sun is high up there and burning. I really can’t differentiate the types of oranges and just grab any of it when its worth the price. The colors of this drink is so gorgeous and love it all the way.

I love slurping hot coffee with steamed soymilk, dusted with cinnamon on top of the frothy foam. Then, I love to take it outside and sit in the warm, spring air and dip is as the breeze hits my face. Perfect duo!

115 Michele Sparrow March 23, 2012 at 9:45 AM

Haha…that should say “Sip it!”

116 Barb @ Profiteroles & Ponytails March 23, 2012 at 9:50 AM

I like to slurp Pinot Grigio in the spring. Just subscribed to your blog as well — would love to win the cookbook and learn more about Joy. Happy Friday!

My favorite summer drink is actually a mint lemonade spritzer from Zut! That’s what drew me to this recipe – looks refreshing!

I’ve heard only good things about this book so I’d love to win a copy! My favorite spring sipper right now is cucumber-mint water. So light and refreshing. 🙂

Wow your giveaway is so generous! I am not a baker so I’m not familiar with her. And I think it’s probably not fair that I take this giveaway considering most of bloggers are a baker and want to get this book! I’ll pass this time (but I’ll try to win future giveaways! ;-)). I follow you everywhere anyway. 🙂 Good luck all!

Hi Kiran, my family loves the Gunners at RSC and Lake Club but we also make our own: Pour half a can of ginger ale in a chilled glass, followed by 3-10 shakes of angostura bitters and lime cordial (optional, twice amount of bitters). Top up with half a can of ginger beer and serve ice cold with a sprig of mint.

146 michelle @ The Village Cook March 26, 2012 at 5:42 PM

I already follow you!! My fav. drink to slurp would probably be a Mai Tai… but when I slurp that, I get tipsy… It’s more of a sipper…

I’m curious to find out what blog platform you are using? I’m experiencing some small security problems with my latest website and I’d like to find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
