As the weather heats up and the days grow longer, our residents at Sage Park Memory Care and Transitional Assisted Living love a refreshing and fun drink.

Mocktails are non-alcoholic drinks that are often made with a combination of juices, syrups, and sparkling water or soda. Here are some of the best summer mocktails that are sure to quench your thirst:

Strawberry Basil Lemonade

This refreshing mocktail is perfect for a hot summer day. Start by making a simple syrup with sugar, water, and fresh basil. Then, mix fresh strawberry puree with freshly squeezed lemon juice and the basil syrup. Add some ice and sparkling water, and you have a delicious and refreshing drink that the whole family is sure to love. Share with guests and friends to show off your impressive new recipe!

Cucumber Mint Sparkler

Cucumbers are the quintessential summer vegetable, and this mocktail takes full advantage of their crisp, refreshing flavor. To make this drink, muddle fresh mint and cucumber slices in a glass.
