    I'm partial to an Australian drink that uses lemon juice, lime juice and bitters.

    I also like making a single serving of fresh squeezed lemonade.

    Easy Summer Mocktails Ingredients

    For best hydration, you want to choose drinks that are water-based with naturally refreshing ingredients such as water, herbal tea and fruit and herb infused drinks.

    • cucumber
    • mint leaves
    • lemon
    • lime
    • orange
    • grapefruit
    • watermelon
    • strawberries
    • raspberries
    • blueberries
    • grapes

    During hot weather avoid liquids that contain caffeine, sugar and alcohol, which are known to be dehydrating.

    Don't forget about fun accoutrements like fun ice-cube shapes, especially oversized ice cubes.

    Then there are also flower-infused ice cubes you could make, especially if you grow the edible nasturtiums.

    Get flower ice cube DIY.

    Seasonal, edible flowers like nasturtiums can be a fun garnish for a summer mocktail. Bonus points if you make flower-infused ice cubes for your drinks.
