It’s sultry out there. As I type this, it’s 92 degrees. Let’s not even talk about the humidity. I have naturally curly hair, and when it gets humid, my hair gets angry; it becomes more wild and untamed than usual. A cool beverage is a great way to deal with the heat, making you and your hair more tolerable in this August weather.

 I’m bringing back an oldie but a goodie, sherbet punch. Growing up, this drink was a staple at every family baby shower, bridal shower and birthday I attended. It’s easy to make and tastes so good. Change up the sherbet for a different flavor.

 1 pint of sherbet, any flavor

 Watermelon is the perfect summer snack; cool, refreshing and fun to eat. This recipe stars this tasty fruit. It’s bound to bring the heat down anywhere it’s served.

 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into small chunks and frozen

 2 cups chilled brewed passion tea or water

 6-8 large ice cubes (optional)

 Add frozen watermelon, chilled tea (or water), lime juice, honey and fresh mint to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until thoroughly combined, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add ice cubes, if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency.

 Pour the watermelon mixture into five chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint and watermelon wedges if using, and serve immediately.

 Lemonade is a summer beverage staple. It’s sweet and tart but always thirst-quenching on a hot day. But have you tried your lemonade whipped AND frozen? Once you do, you won’t want to go back to drinking plain old lemonade again!

 ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from two lemons)

 To prepare the simple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, occasionally stirring until the sugar dissolves. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat. Cover and steep for 1 hour, then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve; discard the zest. (You’ll have extra syrup; refrigerate for up to 1 week.) To prepare whipped lemonade: Add ½ cup simple syrup, lemon juice, coconut milk and ice to a blender. Blend until the ice is crushed and the mixture is slushy. Divide between 4 8-ounce glasses and serve immediately.

 You may not immediately think of cantaloupe when it comes to slushies, but this recipe may make you a cantaloupe slushies believer. The combination of cantaloupe and strawberries creates a summery taste sensation.

 1 medium cantaloupe (cut in cubes)

 Add strawberries to a food processor or blender. Blend it until very smooth. Refrigerate. Add half cantaloupe to the blender and blend it until smooth. Refrigerate. Add the other half cantaloupe and 2 cups of ice and blend it on high speed until smooth and mix it with the first half of the cantaloupe. Serve it layered in a high glass and garnish with strawberries.

Don’t spend August hot and miserable; cool off with these frozen drinks. Cheers to refreshing summer drinks!
