Summer Sips: Refreshing Summer Drinks

By: Allrecipes Staff

Fruity, sweet, tart and sparkling: cool summer sippers for every occasion.

Thirst for Knowledge

While sweet iced tea and lemonade may seem like all-American refreshers, the traditions go back further than you might think.

Vendors in Paris--the "Compagnie de Limonadiers"--were selling lemonade in the 1600s.

Recipes for iced tea have existed for two hundred years, but it was the 1904 World's Fair that popularized it. Now Americans drink nearly 100 million glasses of iced tea every day.

It's the season of lemonade stands and porch swings and lounging with friends over frosty glasses of ice-cold refreshment. Find your favorite summer quencher and take a long, cool sip.

These drinks are ver good and also are safe for our children and in some cases grand children. With these delicious drinks we won't have a DUI or OWI on our records. These are also good and healthy.
