5 Alcohol-Free Beach Drinks That Are Not Boring

Skipping alcohol should not mean drinking plain soda all day. These need five minutes and a cooler.

1. Watermelon Cooler

Blend 3 cups watermelon chunks with juice of one lime and a handful of ice. Strain if you like. Top with soda water. Add mint.

2. Pineapple Ginger Fizz

4 oz pineapple juice, 4 oz ginger beer, squeeze of lime, over ice.

3. Cucumber Lime Spritz

Muddle 3 cucumber slices with 1/2 oz lime juice and 1/2 oz simple syrup. Add ice and top with soda water.

4. Iced Hibiscus Tea

Steep hibiscus tea bags in hot water for 10 minutes, cool, sweeten to taste, bring in a jug. Serve over ice with orange slices.

5. Virgin Paloma

4 oz grapefruit juice, 1/2 oz lime juice, pinch of salt, topped with grapefruit soda.

Tip

Freeze some of the juice in an ice cube tray. It chills the drink without watering it down. A good tumbler helps, too.
