☀️ Beat the Heat with Refreshing Summer Drinks! 🍹💦


Hi there Reader!

Helloooo, summer! ☀️ The days are heating up, so I say it's high time we celebrate (or cope?) with a brightly-colored, fruit-infused drink in hand. Shall we?

I'm excited to share my favorite beverages to enjoy all summer long -- everything from frozen cocktails to fruity alcohol-free quenchers. 🍹

And let me tell you...while each drink is unique, they all have two things in common...1️⃣ they're ridiculously refreshing, and 2️⃣ they're highly recommended for poolside sipping. ⛱️

ENJOY!

Homemade Gatorade (All-Natural Sports Max)
This all-natural sports drink includes electrolytes to help you hydrate and replenish…with NO processed ingredients, artificial sweeteners, or food dye!

Cucumber Water with Mint + Lime
Plain water can get boring, but this delicately flavored refresher is sure to keep you cool and hydrated all summer long!

Minty Peach Lemonade
This tasty, refreshing drink combines classic homemade lemonade, mint simple syrup, and fresh peach puree!

Strawberry Iced Tea
This fruity iced tea is made with sweet, fresh, strawberry simple syrup for a refreshing summer drink!

Homemade Strawberry Syrup
A quick, three-ingredient strawberry syrup can be used to make tasty drinks, like sweet, bubbly, Homemade Strawberry Soda!

This festive, sparkling beverage of mint-infused tea is mixed with fresh peach nectar, simple syrup, ginger ale, and club soda. It's perfect for summer showers, barbecues, and parties!

Strawberry Lemonade Mojitos {or} Faux-jitos
Traditional mojitos get a twist by using lemons instead of limes and then adding fresh strawberries and mint simple syrup. Or replace the rum with seltzer for a non-alcoholic summer spritzer!

Boozy Arnold Palmer (AKA, "John Daly")
This spiked version of the classic drink combines fresh lemonade and sweet tea vodka for a thirst-quenching summer cocktail!

Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
This frozen cocktail is as quick and simple as blending rosé wine with frozen strawberries for a sweet, slushy, boozy drink!

This bubbly, refreshing, tropical summer cocktail is made with just five ingredients and perfect for poolside lounging!

Cherry Vanilla Wine Slushies
Fruity wine slushies are a refreshing way to cool off when the weather heats up, and this version is scrumptious with its juicy dark cherries, sweet Moscato, and hint of pure vanilla!

Pineapple Margaritas
This icy, refreshing, tropical cocktail features fresh pineapple purée and fresh-squeezed lime juice!

Summer has arrived!

Keep cool and stay hydrated, friends. 😎
