For reasons that, at this point, are probably fairly obvious, I’ve been really into mocktails this summer. Plus, in my experience, an icy, refreshing beverage in the midst of a crippling heat wave is your only hope of not melting into a puddle on the floor.

So, while any cold beverage will do, may I gently but loudly recommend that this bev be the one to grace your glass this summer?

Allow me to state my case:

Exhibit A: Hot air all around you/cold glass. Bonus: turn off your A/C and drink this instead (saves the planet!)

Exhibit B: Strawberries contain a lot of vitamin C and summer colds are the worst.

Exhibit C: It’s pretty. It’s also gluten free, (added) sugar free, paleo and vegan.

Exhibit D: It takes less than a minute – and three ingredients (not counting water) – to make.

Exhibit E: You can add vodka. Or rum! Or Pisco,  if you’re feeling frisky?

So, in conclusion*, it might be best to make a permanent place for your blender on the counter – at least for the rest of the summer. You’re going to need it!

*since you’ve sat through two very,  very wordy recent posts, I’m going to keep this brief. (I can hear your sighs of relief from here!)
