We want to have a non-alcoholic drink menu, in addition to the boozy kind, at a birthday party at the end of the month. One of my personal favorites of the moment is fresh lemonade with sprigs of cilantro and sliced jalapenos.

Also like iced tea made with specialty tea. Good Earth is especially nice for folks who don't want caffeine. Also iced coffee is very summery to me.

Use the tea for the water base in the lemonade. It's pink and amazingly refreshing.

Tastes so good you don't even need sugar. Sat Jun 07 12:27:57 -0700 2008 3757322 145206 SSqwerty 1 3759912 Jasmine Iced Tea is my current favorite summer non-alcoholic drink. I tried it last week with 2 parts Jasmine Iced Tea to 1 part ginger ale--surprisingly good. Trader Joe's has Sparkling Blueberry Juice, which is fantastic by itself or with club soda. I'm a fan of the watermelon juice with lime. If you cut a seedless watermelon into about 1" cubes and freeze it, you can make a great virgin watermelon dacquri. Blend about 1 Tbsp lime juice per 2 cups of watermelon and serve immediately. For a more liquidy drink, just chill the cubed watermelon, then blend and serve.
