Yet another fine “recipe” from the Big Boy Barbecue Book!  Wow, I’m not so sure about the green drinks and oddly green fruit items… but it does make a fantastic vintage photo!

Serve cool fruit drinks to guests as they watch the chef perform at the grill and serve them with the meal. These drinks belong in the easy-does-it department.

Fruit drinks go over big with your guests and it’s easy to have a variety when you take advantage of frozen and canned juices which are available. Keep frozen concentrates in the freezer until serving time, and chill canned juices thoroughly.  At serving time, prepare the juices as directed on the cans and pour into glasses over ice cubes. To keep drinks from becoming watery, freeze juice in ice cube trays and use the juice cubes for cooling the drinks.

Fruit kebobs (shown at upper left) make nice appetizers to serve with the drinks.  Thread small fresh and canned fruits such as grapes, preserved kumquats, and sweet or maraschino cherries on bamboo skewers.  Push the fruits to the center of the skewer leaving the ends free. Imbed one end of the skewer into a bowl of crushed ice.
