Green Ginger Ale
Does anyone remember Hi-C Ecto Cooler? At some point, anybody who grew up in the 80's probably had Ecto Cooler in their lunch box, unless you preferred Squeez-It over the juice box. Perhaps this clip might remind you of this popular 80's juice box.
Basically, it was a green dyed orange citrus juice that was tied to Slimer of Ghostbusters and the subsequent Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Yep, green dyed orange juice marked with a green blob known as Slimer actually sold.
For whatever reason, I had an Ecto Cooler flashback when I made this juice. Now, this tastes nothing like what I remember Ecto Cooler to taste like, but it did have that Slimer green color. This juice combines tart green apples with cucumbers, lime, celery, and ginger, and it created a refreshing ginger ale. Poured over some ice, this was a refreshing juice, and the apple tartness and lime completely muted out the flavors of the veggies. Take that, Slimer's fake orange juice.
So, to those of you who drank Hi-C and Squeez-It, which reigned supreme?

LOL I was past juice boxes in the 80s, sadly. This drink does sound pretty refreshing.
