8 Summer Chillers


Cool down from the heatwaves of Summer with a cold drink to blast you through the day from start to finish.

8 Summer Chillers

1. Gin Fizz

As the sun sinks, low in the sky, soak up the day’s last rays of sunshine with a gin fizz in hand and savour a citrusy finish.

2. Watermelon Daiquiri Mocktail

Children and adults alike can enjoy this refreshing watermelon mocktail slushie at barbecues all Summer long. For the adult’s only version, simply add a few nips of your favourite spirit – we suggest white rum or Cointreau.

3. Pineapple Mint Juice

Sweet and refreshing, begin the day throwing back this rejuvenating pineapple juice with a twist of mint.

4. Macadamia Milk Pina Colada

Satisfy peckish feelings mid-afternoon with a filling macadamia milk Pina Colada. Be sure to share the recipe with any vegan friends as a great alternative.

5. Easy Mean Green Juice

If last night’s fruity sangria is still playing havoc in your system this morning, then flush it out with a detoxifying green juice made at home with all your favourite ingredients.

6. Frozen Lemonade with White Rum

When kids become adults, frozen lemonade with white rum is the result. Keep your over-age friends cool and refreshed with this sweet and icy beverage.

7. Homemade Ginger Beer

When lunchtime starts calling and a picnic in the park or down at the beach is in order, then pull out a bottle of ginger beer from the fridge, personally made by you.

8. Cold Brew Smoothie

Slurp up the best of both worlds with this cold brew smoothie. Part morning coffee, part breakfast smoothie, it’s sure to stick around in your Summer breakfast routine.
