In June we celebrated dairy, in July we highlighted ice cream, and so for August, we thought it only appropriate to finish out the summer with a collection of End of Summer Mocktails featuring our refreshing line of drinks and lemonades!
When most people think of Kreider Farms, they immediately think of our farm fresh milk or creamy, rich ice cream. But, did you know we also have a complete line of premium, refreshing teas, drinks and lemonades in convenient grab-and-go 13.5oz single serve sizes as well as a larger 56oz size for sharing?
In the heat of August, our drinks are perfect for quenching your thirst on their own, but we thought we’d give you a few recipes to mix things up for the last hoorahs of summer. Plus, most of our drinks are all-natural with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives which means you can sip in confidence!
So, give some of our End of Summer Mocktails below a try for your next summer gathering or cookout! Plus, if you’re looking for even more ice cold, refreshing inspiration, check out our Chiques Creek Hemp Tea drink collections here or here.
