This winter has definitely been the most unusual since moving to Michigan in December of 2001. Wednesday, the temperature outside when I was running around doing errands was 50. This morning, I had high hopes of putting a lighter weight jacket on Dominic for school instead of a heavy winter jacket that he has almost outgrown. My hopes were dashed when I saw rain/snow falling as his bus pulled up to our curb. I heard this Sunday it may hit 60! I may have to go sit out on our back deck with this drink in my hand, because Monday, it might snow!
Ingredients:
20-ounce can pineapple chunks, in pineapple juice
6-ounce container blackberries
1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 cup blueberries
1 cup ginger ale
Drain the juice from the can of pineapple chunks and reserve the juice. Set aside. It should be approximately one cup of juice and 2 cups of pineapple chunks. In a 16-ounce glass, put a 1/2 cup of the pineapple chunks, 7-8 blackberries, 1/4 cup strawberries and 1/4 cup blueberries. Pour 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice and 1/4 cup ginger ale on top of the fruit. Makes four servings. Feel free to add a splash of champagne to make it more "bubbly!"
