following tips  help you to make quick and tasty drinks for tipplers

• To save time and effort, prepare common ingredients like sugar
  syrup in bulk just before summer begins. Take Vi cup of water for Va
  cup of sugar and boil for about fifteen minutes.

• If sugar is required in a drink, make sure it is of fine texture that will dissolve easily, else use powdered sugar.

• •   If lemons are required, make sure they are ripe; unripe lemons impart a bitter flavour to the drink.

• Instead of ice cubes use crushed ice, which will chill the drink much faster.

• Make ice cubes using water in which some fresh lemon juice has been
  added; this will add flavour to the drink instead of diluting it as it
  melts.
