Hula Cooler

Hot enough for you out there?!  The Hula Cooler is here to cool you off. With ice cubes loaded with fruits full of natural vitamins and minerals, this easy-to-make drink is a healthy and yummy way to refresh your kids.
What you need:
½ cup red grapes, cut in half
1 kiwifruit, peeled, halved and sliced
1 lime, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup orange juice
2 12-ounce bottles sparkling water or seltzer

To make these fruity ice cubes, arrange the grapes, kiwifruit and lime slices in two or three ice cube trays. Fill the trays with water, then freeze. After the cubes are frozen, divide them among six tall (such as 12-ounce) glasses. Pour pomegranate juice into each glass, then follow with a splash of orange juice. Top off with sparkling water and add pretty sipping straws. Yummy and kid-friendly, but adults will love it, too.
