It’s summertime! Whether or not you like to spike your drink, anyone can enjoy a fruity refresher to cool them off in the hot heat. I’ve got four ideas for non-alcoholic drinks for you to test out in your own kitchen. Add or take away any ingredients you please, the end creation is yours!
The Raspberry Margarita Mocktail
- Agave syrup
- 1/2 cup of lemonade
- Four raspberries, smashed up
- Garnish with a wedge of lime
This is such a fun drink because the raspberries transform the lemonade into a delectable red color. Pop some whole raspberries in there as well, and add another element of decoration.
The Goddess Mocktail
- 1/2 cup of hibiscus tea
- Half of a vanilla bean (snap it in half, slice the half open and scrape the half of the vanilla bean out. Let the flavor soak in the drink then you’re done)
- Add some sweetened iced tea
- Garnish with a wedge of lemon
For all you goddesses out there, this one's for you! Refreshing and calming, it's the perfect combo for relaxing on a lounge chair and getting kissed by the sun.
The Sunshine Mocktail
- Squeeze half of a clementine
- Add a half of a squeezed grapefruit into the already squeezed clementine juice
- Add some strawberry lemonade to the mixture
- Put in a couple frozen pieces of mango
This one is a beauty, and probably the most fruity of them all. If you feel like amping it up, try adding some bubbly seltzer water.
A Lavender Mocktail
- 1/4 cup of a mixture of squeezed lemon and lime
- 1/2 cup of steeped lavender tea
- 1/2 cup of steeped raspberry leaves
- Add a bit of agave syrup
This is a less fruity drink, but interesting nevertheless. If you're a big iced tea person, this is right up your alley. Be careful not to over-steep your tea (over four minutes) as it can become a little too strong when combined all together.
Add some ice to a fun cup, garnish with your favorite fruit and enjoy!
