Nothing beats sitting out by the pool with a drink in your hand (though sitting with the shades drawn in front of a fan can do the trick too), especially when what’s in your glass is refreshing, hydrating and full of flavor. Our fave summer drinks keep us feeling cool in the heat so we can enjoy the sun as long as possible, and that often means skipping the booze and looking to fruit juices and fizzy drinks instead. Combine those things together and you have a selection of summer mocktail recipes that you can serve to your loved ones all season long.
If you want something sweet and exotic to sip on sans alcohol, check out some of our favorite summertime mocktail recipes so good, you probably won’t even miss the booze.
