Sensational Summer Sips | 30+ Drinks to Cool Off With

30+ refreshing drinks to cool off with during the summer months.

The mercury is on the rise which means it’s time to start swapping out some of those cozy cups of coffee and tea for something a little more refreshing. Ice cold drinks are a must when the summer heat is at its worst, so I’ve put together this collection of crisp and refreshing summer drinks to quench your thirst and help keep you cool over the next few months.

Nothing says summer more than being outdoors, and whether you’re relaxing on the porch, at a backyard barbecue, or lounging poolside, you need a little something to sip on. With both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks as well as lemonades, juices and smoothies, there’s a drink recipe here for every occasion.

If you’re feeling adventurous: make a bottle of switchel or your own probiotic lemonade. If you’re looking for something a little more classic, try an iced tea or a watermelon agua fresca.

Whichever you choose, summer is the time to sit back without a care in the world and a drink in hand.

Here’s to summer!
