I love passion tea lemonades from Starbucks. I don't buy them often, because they're pretty simple to make. Brew some passion tea according to the directions on the box, sweeten with a little sugar (while hot so it'll melt). Fill your glass 1/3 of the way with lemonade and then the rest with the passion tea (over ice, of course). I'm not sure if that's exactly how they do it at Starbucks, but it works for me at home. :)
 
Oh thanks ladies!!!! btw. Amy I mostly drink water and unsweet iced tea!

I have never tried it with passion tea, I do the lemonade with regular unsweetened iced tea.
 
My fave homemade summer drink is a smoothie made with two coffee ice cubes (I freeze leftover coffee in the ice trays), a splash of chocolate or caramel syrup, a few tbsp of greek yogurt, ice, a bit of sugar (stevia) and topped up with water, milk or almond milk. Blend til smooth. More ice makes it thicker and more water/milk/almond milk makes it thinner.

I used to drink Diet Coke almost exclusively lol! I quit when I was preggo and switched to decaff unsweetened ice tea and just never went back. I have a nasty Sonic Happy Hour habit though. Diet Cherry Cokes with 2 shots of cherry are my guilty pleasure.

oh this i have to try. sounds so good!

i usually drink water, unsweetened ice green tea w/lemon, or unsweetened iced coffee...
 
it's sad to say, but my go-to's are mt. dew, sweet(ish) tea, and water. probably in that order of quantity consumed. *shame*
 
I made Sarasota Lemonade for our camper tour on last year's big camping trip (we each made a grown-up beverage and served them while our fellow campers toured our camper). So stinking good!! http://fakeginger.com/2013/05/23/sarasota-lemonade/

This year I'm going to make Redhead in Bed: http://www.yumsugar.com/Happy-Hour-Redhead-Bed-3075384. I'm going to just serve it on ice instead of blending it through. The blender in our camper isn't very good.

My favorite non-adult drink is a strawberry limeade from Sonic. :)
