So, last weekend the weather was warm, sky was clear and my family was engaged in outdoor fun activities. I decided to welcome them inside with this healthy and refreshing beverage with summer flavors in it.

I always focus on seasonal produce and this summer apricot has been on my mind for a while. 

Finally, I cam up with a recipe that everyone loves and devours happily.
