Parking Lot Indulgence Season 1, Episode 7: Peach Luxury, Strawberry Sipper, and a Few Mishaps

Oya Obinidodo here, and I'm here to announce that Episode 7 of Parking Lot Indulgence Season 1 is finally on YouTube and Dailymotion! For those of you who've been following along, you know this season has been a whirlwind of delicious mocktails, unexpected challenges, and, a few mishaps. This episode is no exception.

This week, I'm diving headfirst into the delightful world of fruit mocktails. I crafted two signature drinks: the Peach Luxury and the Strawberry Sipper. Both are incredibly refreshing and perfect for any day (or, you know, a parking lot adventure!). I'll share the recipes below, so you can recreate these delicious treats at home.

Before I get to the recipes, I'll talk about the fruit in the video. I made an accident. In the heat of the moment, I accidentally misidentified the brand of fruit I used in the mocktails. I used Prep Basics fruit, but in my excitement, I repeatedly referred to it as Augason Farms. My bad. I have a much larger supply of Augason Farms products than Prep Basics, and my brain clearly decided to conflate the two. Lesson learned: double-check your labels before filming! (And triple-check them, too!)

This little blunder wasn't the only unexpected twist in Episode 7. I also experienced some unfortunate sound issues. Midway through filming, I switched from recording with my camera to my cellphone. This resulted in a noticeable drop in audio quality during the second half of the video. Again, my bad for any inconvenience this may cause. I'm constantly working on improving my production quality, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.
