WITH Fresh FRUIT

From the first strawberries in early spring to splashes of apple cider in the fall, Urban+Ade pairs wonderfully with all kinds of fruit from the farmers market. You can blend or crush whole fruit like strawberries, peaches, mulberries, blackberries or watermelon and add it straight to your favorite Urban+Ade flavor. We also have added a splash of bottled juice from other farm stands, like tart cherry juice, which is super easy! To make it easier, we give pairing suggestions on the product pages!

FROZEN URBAN+ADE

If you have frozen fruit you can put it straight into a blender with Urban+Ade for a great summer treat. If you would like Urban+Ade as a frozen drink without adding fruit, just add less water to your pouch when mixing (only fill about 2/3 full) and then add ice to the blender along with the more concentrated Urban+Ade. This will keep your drink from being too watered down. As always, let your taste buds be the guide.

BAKED GOODS

We have used our Sour Urban+Ade juice to make lemon bars and lemon cake. We like it stronger so we put the herb infused juice in the icing and the batter! Just use our juice in place of anywhere it calls for regular lemon juice and keep all quantities the same. Our sour pouches have even been used on pizzas and with chicken dishes.

COCKTAILS

The cocktail combinations are limitless! For drinks that have a lighter alcohol content, dilute the Urban+Ade with water or club soda (or tonic or seltzer) as you usually would for lemonade before adding spirits. If you want something stronger, you can fill the pouch only part full with water. Some people just add liquor directly to the Fill + Serve Pouch--this has the added benefit of being able to go straight back into the freezer!! Look at the bottom of the page for specific drink recommendations, or leave your own!

HOT LEMONADE

Whether it is cooler weather or whether you feel under the weather, hot lemonade hits better! You can heat it on its own or add tea or cider. We suggest not heating much above 150F because the delicate herbal flavors may diminish at higher temps.

mocktails

Don't let the drinkers get to have all the fun with their cool twists, flavor additions and garnishes! For mocktails I usually don't add as much water to the mix to keep the flavor stronger. Then I like to use a carbonated mixer for extra zing. One can add bitters, fresh ginger, muddled fresh herbs or fruits, and don't forget to garnish with herb sprigs or citrus peels.

If you live in our general geographic vicinity (MD, DC, VA, PA), shipping prices should be correct. If your shipping costs are over $22, please contact me before finalizing your purchase, and I should be able to get you a more accurate, and less expensive, rate.

In order to maintain the coldest temperature while shipping, I will be freezing ice packs around your order inside the shipping box. This is why it will take a few extra days (and dollars) to ship after you place your order. If I find this step is unnecessary in the future, I will make adjustments as needed. For now, thank you for your patience as I learn a new procedure!
