About Drink

This section is for things you sip. It includes smoothies, juices, iced tea, lemonade, hot cocoa, coffee drinks and party punches. Most need only a few ingredients and a pitcher, blender or saucepan.

Drinks go with any meal or stand alone. They differ from other sections because the focus is on flavor balance, such as sweet, tart and cold or warm. Many recipes are easy to scale up for a crowd.

Questions folks ask

How do I make a drink less sweet?

Start with less sugar and add more to taste. A squeeze of lemon can balance sweetness.

Can I make drinks ahead of time?

Many keep well in the fridge for a day or two, like iced tea and lemonade. Stir before serving.

What are good drinks for a crowd?

Lemonade, iced tea, fruit punch and warm cider are easy to make in large batches.

Kitchen tips

  • Taste and adjust sweetness a little at a time.
  • Use fresh citrus for brighter flavor.
  • Make ice cubes from juice or tea so drinks do not get watered down.
  • Chill pitchers well before serving.
  • Warm milk drinks gently so they do not scorch.
