Do you ever have those days when all day you think it’s one day, then late at night you realize it’s a day later than you thought? It happened to me late last night. I thought it was Wednesday but in fact it was Thursday. Where did the week go? Between everyday life activities, feeling under the weather, and work on a special project, Friday just snuck up on me.
I usually have a new recipe to share with you on Fridays. Not this Friday, I am unprepared. As I sit here in front of my computer all I can think of is how hot it is. The ice cold glass of water to my side has me fantasizing about ice cold summer drinks to keep cool with. So instead of a new recipe I want to share some drink recipes to help keep you cool this weekend. (Add yours to the linky below)

Awesome collection of drinks. Just loved the presentation of the last shot :)
Thanks Nandita:)
I don’t know what to try first they are all spectacular! I think the banana pear one is for me! LOL love it!
Thanks and enjoy it Claudia!
What gorgeozus drinks!!! Really refreshing and so summery.
Cheers,
Rosa
Thanks Rosa!
Oh my goodness — I want to try all of these! Delicious roundup!
Thanks and I hope you try one or two:)
These all look so refreshing in the summer heat. I love mint tea so I can’t wait to try the lemon mint ice tea. My go-to summer drink is sparkling water over ice with a wedge of lime or lemon; it always refreshes. Have a nice weekend!
Thanks Laura! These are all refreshing but sometimes a cold glass of water is pure heaven. You too:)
It’s over 100 degrees today. I could use every one of these to cool off!! I love a banana lassi… I always do mango… why have I never thought about banana. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
I love mango lassi too, but it’s good to change it up a bit now and then. Thanks Ramona and you too:)
Mmhh! Well, I need another hot mug of coffee followed by a big bowl of equally hot soup and then my friend the doona to cover me :( ! Freezing!! But, a big thank you for a post for which I will be very grateful in about four months or so :) !
Stay warm, wish I could send you a little bit of our warm weather.
Isn’t it great when it turns out to be a day closer to the weekend than you thought?
Down here it is super cold and those drinks don’t have quite the same effect but that last photo is extraordinary.
Yeah it really is:) Thanks Suzanne and stay warm.
We will hit 105º again today, so your post on summer drinks is perfect today! I love a fruit filled sangria on a hot day :)
PS…rats, I should have brought home some Calvados, but we already had weighed down our suitcases with wine!
Wow, that’s hot! Thanks for adding your sangria it looks so good.
Too about the Calvado but at least you have wine:)
Delicious-looking roundup with inspired recipes. These are so appealing for hot weather. Thanks for posting these.
Thanks Victoria!
Wonderful collection of summer drinks. My favorite is lassi, salty lassi.
Thanks Balvinder!
Hmmm…. The cucumber cooler sounds unusual and really nice and refreshing. On my to try list!
It does sound weird, but trust me it doesn’t taste weird at all:)
I was getting hungry by going over your posts, and now I’m thirsty. This late hour is most dangerous to blog hop. =) This post link is a keeper.
Hi Nami,
Yeah, I try not to blog hop late at night. Otherwise I’d have to eat a late night snack or too:) Thanks!
horribly simple but its a tie between a bud light platinum (don’t laugh!) and st germain, sparkling water, and moscato
No, not laughing:) We all have our favorites. Thanks Michelle!
Sounds refreshing!
What a lovely collection of refreshing drinks! Sorry you were not feeling well…hope all is refreshed by now :)
