What We’ll Be Drinking This Summer

Quench your thirst with our tasty recipes for the best summer drinks around. We’ve rounded up the must-try juices, teas, cocktails and mocktails to sip this summer, whatever the occasion.

This sunshine smoothie is guaranteed to get your day off to glowing start. Pop everything in a blender, whizz it up and enjoy.

When life gives you lemons, make this insanely good homemade lemonade! Serve in a tall glass over plenty of ice – you’ll never want to go back to the shop-bought stuff again.

If you’re missing out on an exotic holiday this summer, whip up this delicious mango lassi and dream yourself in a far away beach bar…

Pubs may be opening up again but if you can’t face the queues or you’re just not ready to head to the bar, wet your whistle with these cracking cocktails. This vibrant watermelon slush is a sweet, fun twist on a classic G&T.

Looking for something completely different? A Chicory Collins is a refreshing combo of herbs, gin and lemon served over ice. Thirst. Quenched.

Who says cocktails have to be in glass? We’ve got these Negroni popsicles lined up for a hot summer’s night.

Keep it local and seasonal with this scrumptious selection of alcohol-free bevvies. This simple elderflower mocktail is light, refreshing and costs a fraction of what you’d pay for bottled elderflower fizz.

With blackberries soon in season, you’ll be able to pick your own fruit for this delightful drink. Or try this super strawberry virgin mojito for all the flavour and none of the morning after ouch.

Cold brew coffee goes down well anytime but you can make it even more summer ready by freezing up some cold brew coffee ice cubes to serve in these fabulous drinks.

More of a tea lover? Lock lips with this berry burst of a raspberry iced tea. Pick a different iced tea recipe for every day of the week (with a couple to spare!) or have one as a pre-dinner tipple.

Change up your regular tea with a few cupboard ingredients – try this sweet and tasty spiced chai tea. Or give green tea some zing with grapefruit and rosemary in this quick recipe.

We’ll end with something to leave you feeling relaxed and ready for bed. Brew up your own lavender and chamomile herbal tea, enjoy the heavenly scent and then slip into sweet sleep.
