5 refreshing cocktail ideas for the holidays

During the summer, it is important to ensure that your body is properly hydrated. However, it is worth taking advantage of the fresh fruit and vegetable season, which can be used to prepare delicious drinks! Here are 5 ideas for refreshing cocktails for the summer holidays.

Non-alcoholic mojito

In hot weather, it's hard not to think of a refreshing citrus-based cocktail. A mojito without alcohol is ideal for this purpose. Especially since it is so easy to make! Mix mineral water or Sprite (the Zero version - no sugar added) with freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped mint leaves. Use a tall and roomy glass. For a better taste, refrigerate the drink for a few minutes. For those who are impatient, you can add ice cubes right away.

Forest fruit smoothie

Blueberries, bilberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants - you can get them without any problem during the summer. Apart from their amazing taste, they contain many valuable antioxidants. So why not use them to prepare a refreshing cocktail for holidays? Mix a glass of berries with freshly squeezed juice from half an orange, add a portion of 100% Natural Whey Protein Concentrate protein supplement by Olimp Sport Nutrition and add a few ice cubes. Depending on individual preferences, you can increase the amount of fruit, which will enhance the taste of the drink.

Refreshing watermelon cocktail

During the holidays, it's worth making the most of seasonal fruits like watermelon. Apart from the fact that it perfectly hydrates the body and has a truly refreshing character, it is also a source of citrulline. What do you need to prepare such a cocktail? All you need is a quarter watermelon, one banana, lime juice, a bit of honey and a few ice cubes. Blend everything until smooth. You can garnish the drink with mint or rosemary for extra freshness.

Citrus madness

It's hard to deny that the first association about a citrus cocktail is the incredibly refreshing taste and strong thirst quenching. That's why you couldn't go wrong with a drink based on orange and lemon, which should be combined with carrots, frozen mango, fresh pineapple, turmeric, ginger and a dash of black pepper. Blend all the ingredients with chilled sparkling mineral water. And enriching it with a portion of Olimp Iso Plus isotonic drink by Olimp Sport Nutrition will certainly help to maintain proper hydration.

Vegan strawberry smoothie

It is hard to imagine summer without strawberries, and hot summer holidays are clearly associated with a refreshing cocktail to quench your thirst. Blend two glasses of strawberries with a glass of vegetable milk (e.g. oat milk), a portion of the Olimp Veggie Protein Complex protein supplement with natural flavour. For fans of smoothies serving as a meal, you can add a handful of nuts, which will perfectly supplement the recipe with valuable fatty acids and many valuable vitamins.
