With the temperatures creeping up in the Midwest, we have to do a better job of being hydrated! Summer is a wonderful time to play with drinks - punches, cocktails, etc. Here's a top 10 list of some of our Summer Sipping favorites!

Watermelon, Mint & Lychee MojitosThis pitcher is perfect for a party! Watermelon and mint are a classic flavor combo, but throw in some lychee for a sweet and subtle twist to elevate mojitos a notch!
