my new fav drink

One of hubby and I's fav places to eat while in America is Olive Garden. We don't have Olive Garden in Saudi and it's a darn shame. That salad dressing...those bread sticks...the stuffed mushrooms...my chicken parm...and the cheesecake...yum, yum, yum!!! Can you tell I'm fasting as I write this...lol? Anyway, my fav restaurant here in Riyadh is called La Casa Italiana. Yes, it's an Italian restaurant and yes, it is divine. But Olive Garden, I miss you dearly.

During our first of many visits to Olive Garden this summer, I decided to try one of their non-alcoholic (I don't drink) specialty drinks. And oh man, was I hooked! Take a look at these...

My drink of choice was the Strawberry Mango Limonata (which of course is the bottom one that can't be well seen). I have been thinking about this drink a lot lately. And I really want to try making a version of it here at home. I studied the menu and I'm thinking with lemonade, some mango puree, a couple frozen strawberries, and some ice, I could come up with something similar.

What do you think? Any tips you could share?
