Pineapple Coconut Pear Milkshakes from TK member Ann. So creamy and coconutty.
Nutella S’more Iced Coffee from TK member Lindsey. No fire needed! And it has marshmallow whipped cream. Score.
Chocolate Hazelnut Milk from Three Many Cooks. All you need to know is two words: liquid Nutella. Amen.
Chilled Tomato Soup & Green Goddess Whipped Cream from Tami of Running with Tweezers. Perfect for summer.
Watermelon Jalapeno Margaritas from Jackie Dodd of Domestic Fits. Sweet meets heat. And tequila. Yeah, baby.

Watermelon after it sits in a cooler on ice all day – so cold you’ll get a freezy headache. And hand-squeezed lemonade.

Besides cool drinks at home, every once in awhile I find myself at Sonic, ordering a large low-cal diet Cherry Lime-aid. Something about the sweet cherry, the tangy lime, and the wonderful slushiness of the size of their crushed ice is blissful on a hot day of running errands after work. Yummm!
Angie G. on 7.14.2014
My favorite way to cool off is a mango margarita, light on the booze and heavy on the mango!

cooling off would involve a vanilla shake, a rocking chair and a shady spot under the patio umbrella
