Re: Any good virgin drink recipes- in honor of cinco d mayo?
I love Strawberry Daquiri's (spelling?). I take ice, strawberries, lime juice. Throw it in a blender and liquify it. I'm not sure if any sugar or salt is required. But I love extra lime.

Take a can of peaches in light syrup. Throw that along with ice in the blender and blend it for 5 minutes. Don't need to add sugar because of the syrup. It is a yummy drink to enjoy while sitting on your deck under the sun:)
I also do with other canned fruits.
