Summertime Drinks: Smoothies

Let’s start with everyone’s favourite: smoothies! Specifically, strawberry smoothies. There’s just something about summer and strawberries, eh?

Pineapple is also a popular choice (they’re green but trust me, they’re yummy pineapple!). Tropics, here we come.

Of course, other fruits won’t be far behind.

And yes, even everyone’s beloved peanut butter!

Summertime Drinks: Slushies

I always wondered what the difference is between slushies and smoothies. A quick google search and I realize there are lots of opinions out there LOL. But I think the main difference is slushies don’t contain milk?

Whatever it is, they are fabulous in this heat!

Summertime Drinks : Milkshakes

Now milkshakes need no explanation. Just look at these beauties!

Summertime Drinks: Iced Teas

Another popular summertime drink are iced teas. And these look especially refreshing.

Summertime Drinks: Lemonades

And summer really won’t be summer without lemonades. Here are great recipes if you’d love to make the kind mom used to make.

If you want to explore other flavours, I have recipes for you too. For example, these berry ones are great.

And these ones, too.

Summertime Drinks: Agua Fresca

I wasn’t familiar with agua fresca before this round-up and boy, was I missing out! Agua fresca (“fresh water” in Spanish) is a light fruit drink  popular in Mexico. You make it by blending fruit with water, a bit of sugar and lots of imagination!

Summertime Drinks: Mocktails

Having a party and want some non-alcoholic drink options? Say no more. I got you.

Of course, me being me, you know the rest of this post is going to be boozy, right? Ready?

Summertime Drinks: Margaritas

Ah. My summertime drink of choice. I’ve never had margarita like these before though. Here are really amazing margarita recipes to try (cannot wait).

Want a margarita but also want to keep calories down? Not to worry, here are some skinny margarita recipes for you.

Summertime Drinks: Sangria

Sangria has fruit it in. In my universe that makes them appropriate any time of the day. You with me?

Summertime Drinks: Boozy Slushies

Remember the slushies from before? Let the kids have them. These are for us.

Summertime Drinks: Boozy Lemonades

The lemonades too! The adults deserve a little bit of buzz.

Summertime Drinks: Moscow Mule

Ever wondered why the moscow mule is almost always served in a copper mug? Apparently (according to Wikpedia anyhow) it was part of a marketing campaign to promote a vodka brand back in the day. Who knew?

Summertime Drinks: Mojitos

Now mojitos just make me want to dance and do the conga (did that just age me?). There are berry mojitos.  And pineapple mojitos.

Summertime Drinks: Boozy Pineapple

Speaking of pineapple, here are more boozy pineapple drinks coming your way!

Summertime Drinks: Gin Cocktails

Gin is a good base for all your favourite summertime cocktails, like these really fun ones.

Have you heard of lavender bee’s knees before? I haven’t but I will definitely consume my fair share this summer!

Summertime Drinks: Rosé and Prosecco

Like your wine? Here are really creative ways to jazz them up.

Including this Summer Fling Champagne Cocktail. I mean, how can you say no to that?
