It’s hot and I’m whiny and sweaty and probably a little grumpy.
Seriously, you guys.
All year long I complain about the cold and then BAM. It’s 90 degrees out and I start daydreaming about Fall. It’s a really vicious cycle. Also, I’m a whiner.
I’ve just learned to embrace it. So has my family. I like to pretend that it’s part of my charm.
Anyway, I’m hot and I need lots of refreshing drinks, preferably made with fresh fruit and lots of ice.
These simple Strawberry Watermelon Spritzers are so quick to prepare and are totally refreshing on a hot summer day!
Bonus points: My kids hate lemon lime soda, which means that I get these all to myself.

Joanne says
I thought I liked the heat until I went for my first run in it and yeah..not so much. I really could have used a glass of this waiting for me when I got home!
Becky says
I’m thinking you could substitute club soda or some type of sparkling soda with simple syrup for the non lemon-lime drinkers of the family :). That way you can control the amount of sugar you like. Great pic!

Priceless photo! We had a GORGEOUS weekend in VA, with sunshine and mild temps, even a tad bit chilly with the breeze. I wanted to be outside all day.
Today? It’s hot and I’m hibernating in the AC. I need one of these!

I bet these would be good with vodka too. That would make the heat bearable, no?

Peter says
can I use club soda instead of the Lime/Lemon ?
Jen @ Savory Simple says
We’re supposed to hit 90 today and I’m pretty bummed about it. I may be an east coaster but weather wise I’m a California girl at heart. I hate being sweaty! This drink looks really refreshing, it might just be my solution for the heat wave.
