Moonlight Sonata

Ingredients

• 1 very ripe mango
  
• Juice of 1 large navel orange
  
• 1 cup chopped peaches (frozen, home-canned or fresh)
  
• 4 twelve–ounce bottles of GUS (Grown Up Soda) - or other very dry - ginger ale
  
• One large bottle seltzer water OR a bottle of Prosecco OR a combination of both
  
• Limeade ice cubes made from homemade limeade (Please see note below.)
  
• You'll need 4-6 limes and sugar to taste for that.
  
• Mint or lime slices for garnish.
  
• Note: You can use Reed's Ginger Beer instead of the GUS, if you like.
  

Directions

1. Chill the ginger ale, seltzer and/or Prosecco. Chill your pitcher, too.
2. Peel the mango and cut/scrape the pulp into a blender.
3. Add the orange juice and peaches. Puree for about two minutes. Push through a fine-mesh sieve.
4. Pour into the chilled pitcher with the ginger ale and seltzer water and/or Prosecco.
5. Stir well. Serve over limeade ice cubes, and garnish with mint or a slice of lime.
6. Enjoy!! ;o)
7. Note: To make one tray of limeade ice cubes, make a simple syrup (easily done in a one cup glass or plastic measuring cup in the microwave) by cooking 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 4 tablespoons of water until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze 2 or 3 limes directly into the cup. Stir well. Immediately add enough cold water to fill up the ice cube tray (1 to 1 ¼ cup total, for most trays). Freeze. Make as strong or sweet, or not, as you like. To serve 8, you should make two trays. ;o)
