~ Pomegranate Basil Mojito ~
for Fathers Day
Fathers are wonderful people...Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises ,as often a we should ....
But fathers are just wonderful , in a million different ways
To make us happy today and everyday !!!
Little Food Junction wishes all fathers a very Happy Fathers Day.
While half the world is still busy celebrating the occasion , we
from the other side of the globe would love to share our take for the
occasion. The tiny handmade card accompanied with a cool non
alcoholic mojito was perfect to beat the summer heat and swing in
to the celebrations.
The summer season is the hottest time throughout the Indian subcontinent.
Unlike western summers , the Indian summer is not about colorful days
and warm wonderful afternoons but about unbearable scorching heat ,
dusty winds and dripping sweat . Chilled beverages accompanied with light
meals or a big bowl of garden fresh salad is the best way to keep heat at bay.
Although the blooming season ended long time back , yet there were some
beautiful myriad red poppies in the garden till last week that seemed to have
conquered the unbearable heat of the season .Daddy is quite fond of tiny
potted succulents so lil one had potted a gorgeous green one in a tiny red
pot to serve as a fathers day gift.
Both lil one and father are quite fond of pomegranates so nothing could
have been better than a sparkling glass of ruby red goodness. Some
freshly picked basil truly added to the zing. The simple recipe and some
help from me made the lil one 'Mixologist of the day'....
