Answers: I really enjoy a drink called "Arnie Palmer" which I have also heard called "Swamp Water" that is half lemonade and half iced tea. Anything with citrus seems good in the hot weather.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lemonade with Lemonade Ice Cubes
2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 gallon cold water, or to taste
Fresh mint leaves
1 orange, segmented
In a large pitcher, whisk the lemon juice and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the water to taste. Fill 2 ice-cube trays with the lemonade and place a mint leaf and a piece of cut up orange segment in each compartment. Reserve the rest in the refrigerator. When frozen, turn them into a frozen bowl or an ice sculpture and place on a buffet with the pitcher of lemonade beside them to serve over the ice cubes.
Notes about the recipe: I love making ice cubes with surprises inside that add more flavor to a drink once they melt. And why have a melting ice cubes dilute a drink? Make it from something flavorful and it will add rather than take away from the taste. At Tru I make pineapple water ice cubes with candied lemon rind imbedded and serve them with plum or rhubarb lemonade.

Half & Half (Bobby Flay)
8 cups cold water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup simple syrup
1 quart freshly brewed iced tea
Pour water, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a large pitcher or pourable container and stir until combined. Reserve 1 quart of homemade lemonade for making the Half and Half. Pour some of the lemonade into an empty ice cube tray and freeze until frozen solid.
Transfer lemonade ice cubes to a large pitcher or easily transportable and pourable container. Pour the iced tea and 1 quart of the homemade lemonade over the lemonade ice cubes and stir to blend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok
I just loooooooooove home - made
lemonade . Just make your own lemon juice and mix it with baking soda.I think . virgin pina colada.
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)
juice from one lime
ice to top of blender Cranberry and water with lemon. Mexican style "agua fresca", take any fruit, squeeze the juice out or blend it, add water and sugar to taste, ice.
My favorites are citrus fruits. Also very good are pineapple, kiwi, banana (with a lot of ice), mango, papaya, and strawberry. home made beer well, there are a variety of different drinks, for example...
1. I call this one a coke'n float:
The name probably gave the answer away.
Formula: Coke (or some kind of pop) + Ice-Cream (I usually prefer vanilla, but you can use your favorite ice cream flavor) = Float
2. The next one is very easy to make once you gathered all the ingredients: fresh mint leaves, sprite, lime juice, and ice. Basically you combine them all together. First combine the ice with the sprite. Then squeeze the lime juice in and add the fresh mint leaves in. You can sometimes find this drink in a vietnamese restaurant.
3. The next on is the Ultimate Alcoholic-Free Sangria: Rather than using the traditional sangria ingredient of red wine, we use cranberry-rasberry juice. Pour 4 cups of the fruit juice into a large pitcher. Thinly slice 3 oranges and 2 limes, remove any seeds, and add the slices into the pitcher. Serve this beverage over ice.
4. The Gummy Bear Drink: Pour orange juice into a plate of ice cube holder. And then place one gummry bear in each of the ice cube holder. Freeze it overnight. Serve the ice cubes with cranberry juice.
Hope this helps! Iced tea (sweetened) with a generous splash of cranberry juice. a refreshing drink that you can make is. if you have apples, banana, peaches, or any fruit left overs, just chopped and pour some milk and add a little sugar and crushed ice cubes. put it all in the blender... and you will have refreshing fruit shake....iced coffee.....and......a cold tea!!!you should try it!! ok this one is simple
just add some coke to pink lemonade, a splash of peach tea, and add ice, but you can also squeeze in a lime or lemon if u want to.Personally, i prefer to squeeze in an orange.then top it all of with some frozen cool whip
mmmmmmm..........
