Another summer surprise that we have for you here is the Pineapple Cooler. To prepare the drink, cut pineapple slices into 1-inc pieces. Make puree of the pineapple slices, and transfer in a container. Add sugar, water, and herb sprigs to the container to taste. Simmer over medium-heat for fifteen minutes. Strain the mixture by gently pressing the pieces to extract juice. Cool and stir to serve over ice. Garnish with sprigs to make it look even more beautiful.
Cranberry Ginger Tea
How can a list of cocktails be complete without the mention of ice tea? So, this one is for all tea enthusiasts. Prepare ginger tea by boiling ginger in water. Strain the tea. Now prepare a punch using lemon and orange juice, along with cranberry-raspberry juice. Mix the punch and tea to serve over ice. And the cocktail is ready to soothe your body off the summer heat.
