Is is a HOT one outside this week in Ontario… there is now doubt that we are in full summer time mode! What a better way to celebrate summer then with a cold beverage! I had the opportunity a couple of weeks ago to try some scrumptious and refreshing summer drinks from Minute Maid. Perfect for your summer BBQ, girls night out or trip to the cottage these drinks will be sure to impress. With so many variations including a punch recipe you will be coming up with excuses to make them all!
We were greeted with Summertime Sangria when we walked in the door and oh was it ever refreshing! Make this summertime favorite in both alcoholic & non-alcoholic versions for everyone at your gathering to enjoy.
Love watermelon? Then the Watermelon Grapefruit Fizz if for you! Break our your blender and have fun creating this cool smooth beverage that both kids and adults will love.
Want something a little sour more then sweet – the Pucker-Up Granita is perfect. You do have to plan ahead for this one to give it time to freeze, but it will be worth the wait!
My favorite drink of the evening was the Peachy Sparkler – you likely have everything you need this refreshing drink at home already. Quick to make up I know I will be serving this at my next Girls Night In!
Whenever we have a big BBQ I always make punch, and every time someone asks me for the recipe. It is SO simple to make and refreshing even on the hottest day (I know, we just tested it at Monkey’s birthday party). Here it is!
Easy Punch Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 Cans of Minute Maid Frozen Concentrate Juice – Pick any flavours you like I usually combine 2 different ones like Peach Punch and Berry Punch
1L of Club Soda
1L of Ginger Ale
Directions
1 – Thaw Minute Maid Frozen Juice and place in large punch bowl
2 – Add equal parts Club Soda and Ginger Ale. My punch bowl fits 1L of each perfectly.
3 – Add Ice cubes and frozen berries as garnish and serve.
Make sure you are staying hydrated in this hot weather! These summer drink recipes should get you off to a good start, Enjoy!
The watermelon fizz is our favorite although all of them make awesome summer drinks!
OOOH the Summertime Sangria looks so good! I love sangria in the summer so refreshing!
Thanks for the recipe, I am always up trying new recipes like this! Sounds delicious!
This recipe is coming just in time! We are having a birthday party for our kids this weekend, so I think I’ll make this for everyone. Thanks!
That punch sounds delicious! I have been craving fruit juice this pregnancy!
Just missing some rum lol! Love the recipe. I make a similar one:)
These awesome recipes look perfect for the weather we’ve been having!
The Watermelon Grapefruit Fizz sounds really great! We make our punch using a similar recipe, although I’ve never tried using two different flavours of concentrate juice!
My mouth started watering as I looked at those pictures. They look wonderful! Love fresh summer drinks – I would love to try the Peachy Sparkler – looks delicious!
I am officially sick of the heat! We’ve been incorporating excessive amounts of water into our days just so we can survive, but I’m also sick of water! Definitely going for the Watermelon Grapefruit 🙂 It just sounds delicious.
Mmm. This would definitely hit the spot given the heatwave we’ve had recently. We always have Canada Dry and Minute Maid products on hand so we could make this in a minute. Off to make one now!
