STRAWBERRY HIBISCUS LIMEADE
Red drinks are central to Juneteenth celebrations, as the color red represents the blood shed by enslaved people. Strawberry soda is commonly served, but this punch builds on that tradition, adding hibiscus, lime juice and mint to a strawberry base. It's a great way to use up slightly overripe strawberries. (It's better to use overripe berries than underripe ones, since underripe berries can have bitter notes.) The pineapple juice ice cubes are a little extra effort, but they melt right into the drink, changing its flavor as you drink it. At first, it's good. Over time, it's incredible.

Steps:
- The night before serving, make the pineapple ice cubes: Pour pineapple juice into an ice cube tray, and allow to freeze overnight.
- To a large pot, add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. (Alternatively, you can boil the water in a tea kettle.)
- Add the mint leaves to a pitcher, and muddle them to release oils. To the pitcher, add the tea bags, boiling water and lime juice. Stir to combine, then steep for 15 minutes.
- While the tea steeps, purée strawberries in a blender. (You should have about 1 cup purée.)
- Add strawberry purée and hibiscus syrup to the pitcher, stir and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add pineapple ice cubes, if using, to each glass, and pour limeade over. Serve garnished with fresh strawberries, lime slices and mint.
GINGER SALMON WITH CUCUMBER LIME SAUCE
Lime with ginger is a favorite flavor combo for me, especially with grilled salmon. So good. Even with the cucumber sauce, this recipe is easy, too. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Tips:
- Choose the best cucumbers: Look for firm, deep green cucumbers that are not too large. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots.
- Peel the cucumbers if desired: Peeling the cucumbers will give the limeade a smoother texture, but it is not necessary. If you do peel the cucumbers, be sure to remove the seeds as well.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to the limeade is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Chill the limeade before serving: Chilled limeade is more refreshing and flavorful. You can chill the limeade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Garnish the limeade with lime slices or mint leaves: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the drink.
Conclusion:
Ginger cucumber limeade is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, ginger cucumber limeade is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
