Mixed berry Sweet and sour drink
Summer it’s just around the corner and with that comes refreshing drinks. I am not much of a drinker except socially and when given the opportunity. This sweet and sour drink is the bomb. Sweet none the less, but good.
Of course I will opt for something sweet, that is what my palate likes!! Many of my friends think I am weird or something because none of them like sweet drinks….well I do.
I have seen many posts about watermelon and mint mojitos lately. My home garden is pretty much a mint jungle, and since we get watermelon when ever we get to the market, since it is in season, I think my next drink would just be that.
Watermelon and mint mojitos….yum….I am really excited about it, I just love watermelon so stay tuned.
Anyhow, today is your lucky day because today I have decided to have my first give away, yeap you heard me right, my first giveaway.
I am giving away a SINGED copy of Ina Garten’s latest cookbook. I am pretty much just going to keep it simple and straight forward and if I like how it goes, since I like giving stuff away, maybe I will do another one soon!!
So go on now and comment underneath.
Enjoy the drink!!
This is yum, yummy. Sweet and sour all at the same time, my kind of drink!!

I know it’s pretty plain and simple but my favorite drink in the summer is just good old iced tea with some lemon slices…unsweetened and lots of ice. :)
(ps..I’m going to keep an eye out for the watermelon mint mojitos! I have an orange mint plant that I’m dying to make some sort of drink with besides in my iced tea)
My favorite drink for the summer is COLD lemonade :)

My new jam for the summer is blueberry lime iced tea! From scratch of course ;)

I never make drinks. Except hot chocolate! That’s more of a winter thing though. So I’ll go with lemonade. I love it but it’s just so full of sugar. :(
I already follow you on Facebook!
And on Google Reader. :)
I make iced tea the way Ina Garten does actually! I steep 2 flavors of Celestial Seasonings teas. I may use a red zinger and a berry flavor. Then for sweetening I add apple juice. It is so refreshing and I prefer to use juice as a sweetener instead of white sugar.
Mix of Green Tea & Raspberry Zinger … lots of ice, fresh mint, and lemon slice.
My favorite summer drink is a Miami Vice. It’s half pina colada and half strawberry daiquiri. 100% delicious!

My favorite drink for summer is Pinot Grigio – light fruity, tasty.

Normally I would say mojitos but since I’m pregnant this summer it’s just ice water with a lemon.
My go to refreshing alcohol drink is a lite Gin and Tonic. Old fashioned, I know but watching my very curvy figure is an every bite/sip thing! One fresh lime juiced into the glass, crushed ice, a scant shot of Amsterdam Gin, and 8 oz. or so of Diet Schwepps tonic water. I am smitten with your smoothie recipes, I pinned the 2 green ones I found. I plan to try this Mixed Berry Sweet and Sour drink too.
I love iced tea! :)

This looks so refreshing! My favorite summer drink is plain iced tea- and I often brew it myself. It’s always fun to try out different teas!
My favorite summer drink is an iced vanilla latte, MMM :)

I like iced coffee with lots of milk, sugar, and hershey’s chocolate syrup. Serve over crushed ice, or blend it, and it’s like a smoothie.
My favorite summer drink is a Grape Martini on ice…
1 oz Ciroc Vodka
2 ozs White Grape Juice
Frozen graps for garnish if you like
Truth be told, I usually double this recipe and make sure there’s plenty of ice! :)
I also just “liked” you on Facebook :)
My favorites are iced sun tea and a drink my husband concocts with Rose’s mango mix, lemonade and 7up.
Hi my name is Pam and I just came across your site by chance several weeks ago. I am so glad I did. You have such original ideas. Thanks!
What could possibly beat sun tea (maybe spiced with something or other). Ina Garten is a genius in the kitchen!
Fresh squeezed lemonade, but I never make it. I’m drinking distilled water. Boring but healthy.
I love mojitos! And sangria

Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka is my favorite summer time drink!
This looks delicious… sucha pretty summer drink.
i actually have that book of Ina’s, signed! I went to her book signing in NYC 2 years ago.
Homemade lemonade.
I don’t drink often but when I do, I like frozen mudslides anytime of the year…I have made them a few times…
Those are my kind of drinks :-) Thanks for stopping by.

I love Ice water with lemon :) I like you on Facebook.
I LOVE a good strawberry daiquiri or margarita in the summer. For the non-alcoholic troop, I like strawberry-banana smoothies, or just some good old flavored iced tea or lemonades! For my favorite smoothie, I use strawberries (either frozen or fresh), and Vanana yogurt from Trader Joe’s.
Thanks so much for the suggestions. They sound yummy :-) Thanks so much for stopping by.
Looks yummy but can you use something else insted of wine?
How about a sprite type of drink without high fructose corn syrup? Some sort of a healthier version of it. I know Trader Joes and whole foods carry some. Let me know if you find a better substitute. Thanks for stopping by.
