Stay tuned for a round up of all the summer drink mixes you will need to make your own this summer. I love that I have cleaner versions of store bought favorites. A couple years ago I would have never thought to make things like simple syrup at home. Cleaner versions are always so much better for you and taste better. To make this a blended version add ice and blend on high. It makes for a great slushy version. Leave out the vodka for a fun blended mocktail too!
