These summer mocktails and patio sippers will keep you going on those sultry summer days. Refreshing, fresh, and full of fruity flavors, you’ll find yourself making these drinks all summer long.
Peach Lemonade
Delightful and void of artificial flavors, this peach lemonade will be a hit at your house this summer. The tangy lemons mixed with the sweet peaches cool you off and make this the perfect patio drink.
Begin by cooking four peaches in a pot with sugar and water. Once the peaches have softened quite a bit, take them off the heat and let them cool. Juice seven lemons into a large pitcher. Pour the cooled peach, water, and sugar mixture into the pitcher with the lemon juice. Add cold water to fill the rest of the pitcher. Slice in some fresh peaches and mint leaves for a fancy garnish.
Watermelon Mojito Mocktail
Summer is the season of watermelon, so it’s no wonder this watermelon mojito mocktail had to make the list! First, you’ll need around three cups of chopped watermelon, the juice of two limes, fresh mint leaves, two teaspoons of sugar, and club soda.
Muddle the mint in a glass with the sugar and lime juice. Next, muddle the watermelon. Add ice to a shaker, add the muddled mint and watermelon mixture, and shake well.
Fill two glasses halfway with the ice and fruit mixture, add more ice, and finish off with fresh club soda.
Grapefruit And Ginger Fuzz
This grapefruit and ginger fuzz will cool you off on a hot summer afternoon for a delicious tangy twist. All you need is a tall glass filled with ice, one part grapefruit juice, and two parts ginger ale. You can get extra fancy with fresh cranberries or mint leaves, but that is optional.
Non Alcoholic Pina Colada
If you have a blender, you won’t be able to get enough of these tropical-inspired pina coladas—you don’t have to wait until after five to enjoy them! Made with simple ingredients, they take seconds to make and will keep you refreshed all summer long.
In a blender, add four cups of ice, one can of crushed pineapple (juice and all), one can of coconut milk, and ¼ cup of sugar. Blend until smooth, and serve with a fresh wedge of pineapple and, of course, an umbrella.
Cherry Limeade
Cherry limeade is refreshing, cold, and fizzy, bringing total childhood nostalgia with every sip. With four ingredients, you’ll be sipping away in your backyard in no time.
Add ice to the halfway mark in a large pitcher, toss in two sliced limes and ½ cup of maraschino cherries, and fill with two parts lemon-lime soda and the juice from the jar of maraschino cherries. Stir and serve.
