The summer heat calls for a refreshing summer drink! Something icy and fruity that will cool the kids (and you) down! I’ve got a list of some tasty summer drinks, perfect for a poolside party or a lazy afternoon! I don’t drink alcohol so I was very happy to find some delicious alcohol-free options, perfect for me and for the kids! I did include a few with alcohol in them for those of you that want an extra twist! Hope you try some of these out!

  • I love mason jars! They make the best drinking glasses. I have a set of these plain mason jars. We use them on a daily basis.
  • For special occasions, we have this fancier beverage set that comes with a carafe and each jar has a lid and plastic straw.

Here are a few more cute options:


And if you’re looking for something with a little more pizzaz then here are a few fancier (yet affordable) options:
