3 Refreshing Summer Drinks Featuring Fresh Seasonal Produce


Whatever your go-to summer drink is, you can elevate it by incorporating the flavors of the season. Best of all, you can get fresh seasonal produce from the online grocery delivery Houston locals and residents nationwide love to concoct your signature drink with ease.

Not only will you elevate your drink game this summer, but you'll also help reduce food waste by shopping (and saving) slightly misshapen, oversized, undersized, discolored, or seemingly ugly produce.

Here are three ways to sip the best of summer with seasonal produce as the star of the show. 

Smoothies

Did you know that warmer weather brings out the best in berries? Think sweeter, juicier strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries ready to blend for an on-the-go, nutritious smoothie. To add more protein and fiber to your diet, toss in your favorite yogurt or plant-based alternative and nut butter into the blender. A couple of figs can add fiber, antioxidants, and a tasty bit of sweetness to your drink.

Cocktails

Tap into your inner mixologist with an adult beverage inspired by childhood memories: a peachy pinot slushie. Summer kicks off tender and juicy stone fruits like peaches, apricots, and nectarines. Simply blend your favorite seasonal stone fruit (cut up and frozen in advance) with a white wine base, and garnish with fresh fruit slices and sprigs of mint. 

If you’d rather drink without the bubbly, try this option sans alcohol for a refreshing slush you can share with the whole family. Fruity mocktails will be a hit all around.

Agua Frescas

If you’re a fan of lemonade, you’ll love this Mexican and Central American summer favorite: agua frescas, or “fresh waters.” There’s no wrong fresh fruit contender for this sunny-day staple. Add watermelon, organic cucumber, or your favorite summer fruits to a blender with water and your choice of sweetener (like sugar, agave, or honey), and you’re set! Top with chia seeds, fresh herbs, and fruit slices for that lounging by the pool feel. 

Whether your goal is to save money, reduce food waste, or both, by ordering online from a grocery delivery San Diego residents (and folks across the U.S.) know and trust, you can sip on the freshest seasonal drinks. Cheers!
