On our Green Travel Blog, we mostly introduce you to our sustainable hotels. But today we are talking about a whole island. The North Sea island of Juist is not only a popular travel destination but also a great example of sustainable tourism.
Slowly Winter sets in on Juist and Christmas is around the corner. Just in time, the Advent program on the North Sea Island starts on the first weekend in Advent living you up for Christmas. Today we want to draw your attention to a special event – the Candlelight Swimming on Juist in the seawater adventure pool! There’s a lot more behind the romantic bathing event; the swimming pool is not only the venue for this special experience, but another example of environmental and climate protection on Juist.

A soda jerk in Texas in 1920. IMAGE: Wikimedia Commons
Th drink originated in the United States. In the 1920s, soda bars were all the rage, and soda jerks would mix drinks fresh with soda water, milk, ice cream, or egg, depending on the customer’s preference.
Today, cream soda is usually a sweet, carbonated lemonade with vanilla flavoring (though it doesn’t contain milk or cream). In the U.S., it’s often golden brown, but in Japan, there are also pink and green varieties flavored with cotton candy or melon.
In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)

The SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA in Bad Herrenalb shared its recipe for this refreshing summer drink. A sophisticated flavor with berries, cream soda, and a pinch of salt and chili to finish it off!!

Instructions
Place the berries in a small bowl and mash them into a purée. Set a few whole berries aside for garnish.
Pour freshly squeezed lime juice into a glass or shaker and mix it well with either elderflower or agave syrup.
Hand-pluck the mint leaves and add them to the lime juice along with ice cubes. Then, shake or stir the mixture vigorously.
Fill the three serving glasses with the berry purée first, and then top them off with the lime-mint mixture.
Now, carefully stir in the sparkling mineral water and cream soda.
Here's an optional tip from the hotel bartender: "If you like it spicy, add a splash of chili or ginger syrup. It gives the lemonade a cool kick that perfectly balances the fruity sweetness."
Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh berries, lime slices, and mint leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added kick that perfectly rounds out the flavor and enhances the fruitiness.
