On these hot summer days there is nothing better than relaxing in your hammock with a cold, refreshing beverage in your hand. Check out these quick drink ideas for making your afternoons wonderfully comfortable.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Berry Lemonade

1. Prepare your favorite lemonade mix, or if you prefer, make fresh lemonade from scratch.

2. Add 1 1/2 cups of your favorite berries to the lemonade.

3. Pour into blender, mix until smooth. Add ice if desired for a slushy lemonade drink.

4. Garnish with a few berries on top.

5. Kick your feet up in your beautiful hammock and enjoy.

Watermelon Slush

1. Place ice cubes in blender to crush the ice.

2. Add 3 cups of watermelon. Add other berries or fruit, if desired, for variety.

3. Sweeten with sugar, honey, or your favorite sugar substitute (example: Splenda to cut back on calories).

4. Serve immediately while relaxing in your hammock.

Fresh Berry Iced Tea

1. Prepare sun tea. Use a large clear container (preferably glass), fill with water, add tea bag (1 bag for lighter tea and 2 bags for stronger tea), and set out in sun to brew. Keep an eye on it; try not to over brew the tea.

2. Chill the tea.

3. Add your favorite berries (raspberries, strawberries, etc.) and tea to a blender. Blend until smooth.

4. Serve over ice. Watch the sunset from your hammock with your refreshing iced tea.

Making cool, refreshing beverages for those hot summer days is fun and easy. Use your imagination to create something your taste buds will love. Enjoy the summer from your hammock with a tasty drink in your hand.
