Fruit Ade Recipes
You'll Love These Tangy Tasting Fountain Fruit Ade Recipes From Yesteryear
Here's a wonderful collection of fruit ade recipes from Grandma's day. The tremendous popularity of lemonade remains undisputed, but other old-time citrus-flavored drinks, those with the flavor of lemons, oranges, limes, pineapple, and grapefruit were all famous as quenchers of thirst.
As an alternative to lemonade recipes, any of the recipes for "ade" drinks featured on this page will prove useful during hot weather. Make lots; your guests will be sure to want seconds.
Authentic Soda Fountain Ades BeveragesAuthentic ade recipes call for the juice of citrus fruits like lemon, orange, or lime, with sufficient powdered sugar or simple syrup to sweeten, to which is added plain, mineral, or carbonated water. In most fruit ades, slices of fruit, cherries, strawberries, and so on are added ingredients for garnishing. A "golden ade" is made by adding the yolk of an egg before shaking.
Ades are traditionally served very cold with straws in a 12-ounce lemonade glass. A long-handled spoon should be offered when serving fruit ades containing fruit pieces.
These non-alcoholic beverage recipes are easy to make, and the results are delicious.
Pharmacy soda fountain operators had a very effective way of pushing these hot weather drinks. They would select an appealing fruit ade recipe, then mix up a large punch bowl of the mixture containing ice and set it prominently on the marble counter.
A quality bowl of cut glass made the citrus beverage especially attractive. An arrangement of seasonal fresh fruits and berries along with slices of orange and pineapple added to the display. This is also a great way to serve your ade drinks at a party or a backyard get-together.
Fruit Ade RecipesThese old-fashioned fruit ade recipes are taken from "The Dispenser's Formulary or Soda Water Guide" compiled by the editorial staff of The Soda Fountain, published by D. O. Haynes & Co., New York, in 1915.
