After all, you need to stay cool and stay hydrated. A tasty summery beverage will help you do just that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why stop at one great summer drink? Why not have a few options? That is why we made a list of our top 5 favorite summer <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/christmas-mocktails-best-festive-drink-recipes\/\">drink recipes<\/a> that are sure to put a smile on your face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each drink is refreshing, delicious and quick to put together. They are all non-alcoholic and great for anyone to enjoy, from kids to adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we jump into our favorite summer <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/tiki-drinks\/\">drink recipes<\/a>, let\u2019s talk a little more about summer beverages and what you need to craft the perfect summer swill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfect Summer Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes a great summer drink? A few boxes need to be checked in order for a drink to be summer-approved. Here are the things we look for in a great warm weather drink:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/dunkin-donuts-refreshers\/\"><strong>Refreshing<\/strong><\/a><strong> and cold<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Easy to make<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Very flavorful<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Fruity<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Light, not heavy or hearty<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If a drink meets these criteria, then it is probably perfect for summertime sipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can bend these rules a little bit. For example, if the sun sets of a <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/virgin-summer-sunrise-mocktail\/\">hot summer<\/a> day and you are feeling a little chilly, a warm drink may help. Yet, as a rule, a true summer drink needs to be cold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of our top 5 summer drinks are served chilled or blended with <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/ultimate-ice-maker-guide\/\">ice<\/a>. We like to think of summer drinks as something you are enjoying when the weather is hot. That means cold and refreshing is key!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Summer Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest things we look for when crafting warm weather beverages is ease. When the sun is shining and there is not a cloud in the sky, you likely want to be outside. Summers are busy and no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen for hours making complicated recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good summer drink is fast to prepare. All of our recipes take less than 10 minutes to put together! You will be enjoying a refreshing beverage in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of our <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/guava-passion-fruit-drink-starbucks-copycat-easy-recipe\/\">drink recipes<\/a> can be made in advance. For example, you can make a big pitcher of our strawberry ginger <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/strawberry-acai-lemonade-recipe\/\">lemonade<\/a> and store it in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour yourself a glass anytime you need a tasty way to cool down. Making drinks ahead of time is an even easier way to add some flavor to your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seasonal Summer Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/love-mocktail\/\">love<\/a> to use fresh, in-season ingredients. This often means fresh fruits or even vegetables. Summer in when many tasty berries, melons and <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/virgin-pina-colada-recipe\/\">tropical<\/a> fruits are in season. Put those flavorful ingredients to good use and enjoy the taste of summer in a glass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Top 5 Summer Drink Recipes:<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are our favorite 5 <a href=\"https:\/\/mocktail.net\/mocktail-pink-whitney-drink-recipe\/\">non alcoholic summer drink<\/a> recipes.
