4 DIY Mocktails To Try This Summer

It’s summertime! Whether or not you like to spike your drink, anyone can enjoy a fruity refresher to cool them off in the hot heat.I’ve got four ideas for non-alcoholic drinks for you to test out in your own kitchen. Add or take away any ingredients you please, the end creation is yours!

The Raspberry Margarita Mocktail

  • Agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup of lemonade
  • Four raspberries, smashed up
  • Garnish with a wedge of lime

This is such a fun drink because the raspberries transform the lemonade into a delectable red color. Pop some whole raspberries in there as well, and add another element of decoration.

The Goddess Mocktail

  • 1/2 cup of hibiscus tea
  • Half of a vanilla bean (snap it in half, slice the half open and scrape the half of the vanilla bean out. Let the flavor soak in the drink then you’re done)
  • Add some sweetened iced tea
  • Garnish with a wedge of lemon

For all you goddesses out there, this one's for you! Refreshing and calming, it's the perfect combo for relaxing on a lounge chair and getting kissed by the sun.

The Sunshine Mocktail

  • Squeeze half of a clementine
  • Add a half of a squeezed grapefruit into the already squeezed clementine juice
  • Add some strawberry lemonade to the mixture
  • Put in a couple frozen pieces of mango

This one is a beauty, and probably the most fruity of them all. If you feel like amping it up, try adding some bubbly seltzer water.

A Lavender Mocktail

  • 1/4 cup of a mixture of squeezed lemon and lime
  • 1/2 cup of steeped lavender tea
  • 1/2 cup of steeped raspberry leaves
  • Add a bit of agave syrup

This is a less fruity drink, but interesting nevertheless. If you're a big iced tea person, this is right up your alley. Be careful not to over-steep your tea (over four minutes) as it can become a little too strong when combined all together.

Add some ice to a fun cup, garnish with your favorite fruit and enjoy!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
