Happy St. Patricks Day!


Was Yoda Irish?

When surfing the recipes pages of epicuirous.com, I came a across a drink that I knew Andrew would love. He and his friend Kay Lani did a taste test at Steve’s birthday. The drink is called “Yoda Soda.” My Star Wars obsessed son jumped at the chance to try this fizzy concoction and simply gleamed at the chance to drink soda at home. They both loved it. Kay Lani’s mom is Andrew teacher and wanted to serve it to her class on St. Patrick’s Day. I came into the classroom to help scoop, stir and pour, hoping to give all the kiddos a bit of Jedi wisdom along with the luck of the Irish.


Recipe:
¼ cup lime juice
2 TBs sugar
6 oz 7-up
1 scoop of lime sherbet

The actual recipe calls for “sparking water” instead of 7-up, but that was nowhere to be found in Hoonah…so I just cut way back on the 2 TBs of sugar to balance out the taste.

Mrs. Bidiman purchased rainbow sherbet so they kind of lost their green “Yoda” characteristic…but the flavor was still great and the kids loved it. Being the great teacher she is, she is having them write a review of what they thought of the “Yoda Soda” and will soon post it on epicurious.com. Will they give it four forks up?



Look! I found me a leprechaun!
