Granadas

There's a pomegranate tree at the back of our land that has fruit with dark purple juice. Vrery good to make the Antas cocktail (half pomegranate juice, half tequila, ice cubes). Took some cuttings. (start of November)

Limes

So many limes from such a flimsy tree. And see the giant lime on top? Funny, this tree cost about 15 euro,
and already pays back in fruit. Yes, true, tub and soil cost money too, but that is not what really matters, eh. Much worse is there is not enough tequila in the house to consume them all!

Are these Australian finger limes ready yet..?

And the keffir limes / djeroek poeroet?

Antas cocktail 2 - Grenadine

The Antas cocktail is great, with fresh pomegranate juice, but what to do when the season is over..?

Bag full of pomegranates. (We have two.)

Avoid these nasty black ones!

1 liter juice, 150 g sugar, juice of one lemon, boil 5 minutes in a skillet for evaporation = grenadine.

No, it's grenadine.

Antas cocktail

If you've got it flaunt it! We have pomegranate trees. And thus pomegranates. For the curious of mind: military grenades are called after the fruit, not the other way around. But here I thought of this combination: 1 small pomegranate, squeezed like an orange to get the juice, and one smallish glass of white tequila. Add ice. And yes, it's pink, and yes, it's lovely. It's called the "Antas Cocktail" from now on.
