These tasty, non-alcoholic drinks are for all ages to enjoy and pair well with burgers, barbecue, and sweltering afternoon temperatures. Beat the Southern summer heat with a colorful big-batch punch or easy-to-make tropical mocktail. Mix up a pitcher of Classic Southern Sweet Tea, or whip out the blender for a slushy treat like Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Round out your Independence Day celebration with festive, no-fuss appetizers and patriotic cakes.
