A Dozen Perfect Summer Blended Drinks (Plus 4 Mocktails)

What does Summer mean to you?

For us, Summer is:

• Sunshine
• Warm weather
• Road trips
• Weekends at the beach or cottage
• Long weekends
• BBQ
• Blended Drinks - icy, cold, and refreshing

If only Summer could last 365 days!

Like blended drinks? We've got you covered for the upcoming long weekend!

What do you need? A good quality blender, lots of ice, and some good (wide) milkshake straws.  If you are making margaritas, why not spring for some margarita salt rimmer or one of these fancy sugar rimmers (or make your own).
