Your guests will be wowed!
Summer is the perfect time of year for outdoor parties. The days are long, the weather’s warm, and gardens are thriving. While there are lots of healthy salad, fish, and fruit dishes that most of us remember to make for get-togethers, we can forget to provide guests with clean drinks, too! Store-bought soda, iced tea, lemonade, and margarita mixes are packed with sugar. Do your guests a favor and make one of these 9 drink recipes for your summer parties. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, and they’re all made with real, natural ingredients, and without processed sugar.
1. Lavender Lemonade
Your guests will love this exotic lavender lemonade. It’s detoxifying, but it tastes so good that you’d never know it!
2. Homemade Honey Lemonade with Fresh Mint
Mint grows quickly and easily, so if you have mint in your garden, you might not know what to do with all of it. This lemonade is a great way to use this zesty herb.
3. Minty Pear Martini
Change up your usual martini mix by adding pear juice and fresh mint. It’s summery and refreshing.
4. Minty Non-Alcoholic Mojito
Mojitos are often overly sugary, so we use honey or agave to give our mojitos just the right amount of sweetness. Plus, who says you need to add alcoholic to a mojito? It’s just as tasty without it.
5. Pineapple Mint Spritzer
This pineapple mint spritzer is a breeze to prepare. Simply mix the ingredients, and voila! You have a delicious drink.
