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 like to go casual—buffet-style. Then I just need to keep an on the food to make sure the bowls stay full.
I always do as much prep/cooking days ahead of time, so all I have do is cook whatever meat I am serving on the grill.

I like to try the mango punch.
Make sure to have plenty of drinks and ice on hand. Also make ice cubes by putting some fruit in the water before freezing. Makes the drinks more interesting.
The mango punch sounds yummy.
Make sure the propane tank to your bbq grill is filled. And make sure that you have lots of things to throw on it for those last minute get togethers.
