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!

I’d like to try the Cranberry Punch.
My tip is to allow friends to bring some of the dishes. We like to provide the meat and ask friends to bring side dishes.
Make a nice cold punch with fruit and invite your friends over for a patio party. Keep the liquor separate so everyone can have some.
Good food and drink, good company and good music…nothing better in the summer time!!
I love to serve cold sides like broccoli or pasta salad .
things for the kids to do. Helps keep them happy
