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!

Always have a variety of drinks when entertaining.Lots of picky people out there :)
Most like to try the Grape Punch
Always make sure you put something on the screen door (decorations maybe something light but BRIGHT) I cant tell you how many times I’ve witnessed people walking into the screen door later in the evening after a couple of those party drinks!:P
i’d like to try the Minute Maid Pink Lemonade frozen concentrate
One of my party favourites–“Tortilla Spirals”,lots of garlic,cream cheese marinated artichoke hearts,mix together and spread on tortillas—-roll up and wrap in cling wrap overnight and cut into slices—serve
They are allways a big hit.

Have lots of ice cream and frozen treats in the fridge.
Here’s a great tip for summer entertaining: Smoothie/Cocktail Bar!
We have friends/guests bring their fav fruits/smoothie/cocktail ingredients (potluck) and we all create some delicious concoctions that we all get to try. Favourite one wins something fun at the end!
Also, we like to ensure there’s plenty of water guns and water balloons lying around for some adult/kid fun!
Pretty night lights (christmas lights will suffice too) all around the roof/sides of the patio/gazebo are always a nice touch when the sun goes down!
I would like to try the “Lime in the Coconut” Cocktail!
Summer tip….. to have fun!! :) Seriously!
I like making ice cubes with stuff in them… frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries etc) and mint leaves are pretty!
