7 Beverages for Keeping Cool and Celebrating Summer

Summer is still going strong at least, according to the thermostat! These cold, refreshing drinks with Florida orange juice are the perfect way to sip through the rest of the season.

There’s something for everyone, from matcha and espresso beverages to frozen and wellness-focused options. You also can make adult versions of these recipes by adding your preferred liquor or beer.

Each tasty creation came from one of our partner restaurants in the New York metro area, crafted to serve as limited-time offers. They were so popular that we simply had to share. More seasonal collaborations are coming this fall, but in the meantime, have a trendy toast to the summer!
