Oh man, let me tell you, I am all about those Refreshing Drinks For Summer!
Something about the sun beating down on you and the heat making you feel like you’re about to melt makes a nice, cold drink all the more satisfying.
I love mixing things up and trying different kinds of drinks, whether iced tea, coffee beverage, or something fruity.
Each has its unique way of quenching my thirst and giving me a little energy boost.
Plus, there are so many creative ways to make refreshing drinks! You can add different fruits, herbs, or even a little spice to give your drink a little extra kick.
There’s something so satisfying about sipping on a cool, refreshing drink while lounging in the sun.
It’s one of the simple pleasures of summertime that I can’t get enough of!

Personal Note from Janine
Hey guys, I want to share some awesome summer drink ideas with you today. I’ve got some alcoholic and non-alcoholic options for you. Personally, I can’t handle alcohol at all. My body just can’t break it down properly, making me feel terrible. My face turns red, my head starts pounding, and I feel like I’m going to throw up.
Luckily, my husband is our family expert at making cocktails, so he handles everything in that department. When mixing cocktails, he always makes a mocktail version for me. And you know what? I’m perfectly content with my non-alcoholic option.
Anyway, I’m super excited to share my latest drink recipes with you and some other cool ones I’ve found. Let’s toast to a summer filled with refreshing drinks!
Cheers,
This Week’s Inspiration – Refreshing Drinks For Summer
This Pina Colada Mocktail Recipe is one of my favorites! It’s a refreshing tropical drink that’s perfect for sipping on a hot day.
I like to blend it all until it’s nice and smooth, then garnish it with a slice of fresh pineapple or a cute little umbrella for extra flair!
This Grapefruit Mocktail Recipe with lime juice is a refreshing and tangy combination.
The bitterness of grapefruit is nicely balanced out by the sourness of lime juice, making for a delicious and zesty drink.
Try this White Wine Sangria Peach recipe if you like a light and refreshing drink. This Sangria has a surprising twist: a sparkling white wine with peaches.
And to elevate this cocktail, add plenty of fresh peaches to the drink!

This Week’s Tip – Frothers
I absolutely adore handheld frothers! Not only are they affordable, but they’re also incredibly easy to use. Whether you want to froth your morning coffee or whip up a creamy pina colada drink, this handy little gadget can do it all in a matter of seconds.
The best part is that cleaning up is a breeze. Unlike other bulky kitchen appliances that take up a ton of counter space and are a pain to clean, a handheld frother is small and simple to store. All you have to do is rinse it off, and it’s ready for its next use.
I highly recommend getting one of these frothers if you’re a fan of delicious, frothy drinks. They’re a game changer!
Latest Obsession – Kombucha
So, my husband and I are trying to cut down on our soda, wine, and beer consumption. We’re on a new mission to find alternative drinks that are better for us. One of our new favorites is Kombucha. Kombucha is a type of fermented tea that is made from sweetened tea, yeast, and bacteria. During the fermentation process, the bacteria and yeast consume most of the sugar, which produces a tangy, slightly effervescent drink.
The benefits are that it’s got a little bit of alcohol in it (about 1%), but that’s nothing compared to a glass of wine or a bottle of beer. Plus, a whole bottle of Kombucha usually only has about 60 calories.
So, if you’re ever at Whole Foods, definitely give Kombucha a try. They have so many different flavors to choose from. If you do a taste test, let me know what you think of them. This Golden Pineapple is one of our favorite.
Hey there!
It’s summer at my house, so I wanted to share my new and old favorite summer drinks!

I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I enjoyed creating them!
