(Newswire.net — August 9, 2013) Houston, TX — The dog days of summer are officially here, which means thirsty people everywhere are seeking relief at the bottom of an iced glass. But summer refreshment shouldn’t just come out of necessity. And now with Karen Pettine’s new book, published this week by Little Pearl Publishing, there is more than one way, in fact there are forty, to quench summer thirst. Summer Drink Recipes: The Tastiest Summer Cocktails, Lemonade Recipes And Drinks For Year-Round Refreshment offers a tempting collection of drink recipes that will transform this afternoon’s beverage into one worthy of sharing with friends and family.
Nothing says summer more than a glass of classic lemonade, but Pettine’s recipes go above and beyond what is usually expected of roadside refreshment. The recipe for Classic Lemonade provides the perfect balance between sweet and sour, while her unique twists like Peach Thyme Lemonade offer something unexpected, surely to please a crowd of discerning, hot patrons at the next backyard barbecue.
And there is more than just lemonade in this little guide. The recipes for cocktails are divided perfectly between those reminiscent of American speakeasy days and those that are tropical enough to induce visions of sandy beaches and not so American cabana boys. Pettine’s smoothies offer both refreshment and nutrition, making it possible to use these recipes as a meal in and of itself on days when entering a blistering kitchen staves off pangs of hunger.
If the summer heat becomes draining, Summer Drink Recipes offers several iced coffee beverages that provide a pick-me-up without the coffee shop expense. The recipes for delicious fruit juice blends are another choice for energy-drained kids and adults working to cut back daily intakes of caffeine.
There are plenty of hot summer days to enjoy the recipes offered in Pettine’s book, which is free this weekend exclusively on Amazon. But when summer fades who says that iced drinks have to come off the menu. Refreshment, dear friends, should be a year-round celebration.
