They’re alcohol-free drinks prepared with fruit and vinegar. Just like a fine wine, they grow better with age. One refreshing jug could be drawn from for nearly a month. You could almost compare it to homemade ginger ale. And if you’re not into sugar, you could easily substitute stevia or agave. Everything else on the vegan vegetarian 4^th of July recipes menu is a grill item, even the Sourdough Sandwich AND the Pound Cake Trifle! Happy Independence Day!

NOTE: If you’ll also be cooking meats on the grill, take care to either have a separate grill or section of the grill for vegan vegetarian items, or carefully clean the grill between meats and vegan vegetarian items. If barbecuing kabobs on wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water at least 30 minutes before grilling.
