Nothing says summer like the arrival of May Long Weekend, and if you’ve been hunting for tips and drink recipes to make the first long weekend of the summer as “cool” as it can be, you’re in luck!
Minute Maid has partnered with the experts in the Canadian Living test kitchen to create some delicious and refreshing drinks to keep you cool when you’re firing up the barbeque, heading out on the boat or entertaining your friends this weekend!
For a tasty drink with minimal work, an ice-cold Lime in the Coconut Cocktail is sure to be a hit with both young and old!
The best thing about this lime coconut cocktail is that the alcohol can be left out of the recipe and added afterwards to individual glasses, so that children and non-drinkers can still enjoy the beverage, while those that choose can cool down with a drink that has a little more kick!
And since it’s all whipped up in the blender, you can make enough for a crowd in just minutes.
My boys and I both loved the combination of creamy coconut and tangy lime in this unique beverage and it was a great way of beating the heat!

from the site, the berry punch sounds delicious!!
My tip is to have people help out by bringing something along, whether an appetizer, a drink, or a dessert. Nothing huge…the host can always handle the main meal. :)
Pre-cook as much as possible so that you dont have to heat the whole house up and you are not too busy to hang out with your guests
Freeze juice into icecubes
My tip would be to keep lemons and limes on hand to dress up juice drinks with ice.
I don’t entertain much, but I do know that when the kiddos are entertained, the adults have more time to catch up. Think about fun things for the kids (like the idea of a kids drink station) and the party will be a success!
peach sounds yummy
we freeze juice boxes and then when we want to go on a spontaeous picnic they help keep things cool and make a great cold treat!
my fave tip is to always have a few of the pretty domed food covers handy to keep the bugs away when you are entertaining outdoors
Always have freezies around for the kids!!
