Summer is a good time to be thirsty. There are chilled glasses of iced tea and lemonade to be had — often flavored with in-season fruit — not to mention slushies, milkshakes and smoothies. Grab a pitcher and some ice (plus our recipes below) for these good-for-all-ages refreshers.

Borrow a trick from professional bartenders and muddle an array of berries and mint to get the most summer flavor in this bright, colorful sparkling lemonade. Once you've mastered the technique, try swapping in different berries and herbs like basil or lavender.

Chuck's sweetened peach syrup is the perfect summery addition to a jug of simple black iced tea, though it's also nice with lemonade or sparkling water.

Planning a spicy barbecue? Keep this icy cinnamon-packed rice milk to cut the theat. Sweet and creamy, it will instantly cut through the heat of a hot, humid day and the heat on your tongue.

Not in the mood for a mimosa? Pass out flutes of this all-ages spritzer — a mix of sparkling cider, cranberry juice and raspberry club soda — at your next brunch.

The frozen fruit in this wine-less sangria pulls double duty — not only does it add flavor to the white cranberry and grape juice mix, but it also keeps the drink cool without diluting it.
