You're listening to the Girl Next Door podcast. I'm Kelsey. And I'm Erica. We're two next door neighbors who love a good chat and a good cocktail. We're inviting you to come on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey, neighbor. Hey neighbor. So it's definitely still summer here. It is. Although I will admit I had to light a fall candle last night. Oh, for sure. I'm easing on it to fall.

We had an awesome storm. It was just feeling fallish and I just, I couldn't resist. Yes. But we still have plenty of hot days ahead of us. So to keep our spirits lifted, we are going to talk about summer vacations

tonight. I like it. So what are we going to be sipping while we talk travel and relaxing?

Well, ice tea reminds me of relaxing. Like to me, an ideal, ideal setting would be like big front porch,

ice tea, no schedule for the the day some sort of rocking chair

of some sort or swing yeah so i made a mango ice tea cooler and mine has vodka in it but yours is unleaded

your sad sad sad sad face for you i brewed, actually my brother's signature Earl

Gray blend black tea from Tevana. He's like Oprah, like his Oprah chide. David, David Earl Grey.

And then added pured mango. And the tea is brewed at like double strength for ice tea because it gets watered down.

So just like with coffee you have to brew it stronger.

Okay.

And then some fresh lemon juice and simple syrup and put it on ice.

And it's like a little bit thick.

But then you put it on the ice and with the vodka mine is a little less thick.

Yeah.

But other than that, it's looking good so all right cheers cheers summer vacations

very fresh oh that's good and i have no idea how to peel and not massacre a fresh mango so i use like the frozen chunks of mango those are so good though

which yeah they're really good like we just let them defrost and eat them like candy we do that too

we do that too a lot dash likes them too so we just eat frozen mango i feel like i waste a lot of mango

when i try to cut one so yeah. Just go straight to the frozen.

Well, this is really good.

I would definitely recommend our listeners to try this.
