If you're looking for some refreshing beverages to serve at your next party or get-together, then check out this recipe round-up of thirst-quenching summertime drinks on Taste As You Go!
Hello, July!
Summer is in full swing and that means a tempting array of fresh fruits and vegetables is available at the local farmers' markets. I love this time of year and look forward to receiving the
Bethlehem Farmers' Market newsletter so I can drool over their produce forecast listing the items one might expect to find for sale that particular week.
Judging from
their latest newsletter, which just happens to feature my recipe for
Zucchini Nut Bread, it sounds as if berries are going to rule the market this week. Local vendors will be offering blueberries, strawberries, mulberries, and raspberries (both the black and red varieties), and I'm praying that the baby will let me sneak out for an hour so I can go scope out the situation.
(Does anyone even say that anymore?)
Anyway... A great way to use those luscious farmers' market berries, aside from baking with them, is making pitcher after pitcher of tasty drinks. This month, I've enlisted the help of my fellow food bloggers to put together this photo-heavy round-up of
26 Refreshing Summertime Beverages -- both alcoholic and non-alcoholic -- for you to use as inspiration the next time you're craving something long and cool to sip on while lounging in the sun. And, of course, any of these drinks would make a fabulous addition to your Fourth of July celebrations this weekend.
Curious to see which recipes made the cut? Then keep reading!
