Return to Drinks index
↠ Homemade Switchel:
Description:  Switchel, also known as "haymaker's punch," is an old-fashioned, non-alcoholic beverage dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, traditionally consumed to hydrate and energize farmers in the hot summer sun. It is a simple, non-fermented, and tangy, sweet-and-sour, and slightly spicy drink, often described as a "natural electrolyte" or "colonial Gatorade".

↠ Cranberry Lime Spritzer:
Description:  A Cranberry Lime Spritzer is a refreshing, vibrant, and bubbly beverage that balances the tartness of cranberries with the bright, zesty aroma of fresh lime. It is often served as a festive, non-alcoholic drink, but can easily be made into a cocktail with spirits.

↠ West Virginia Slow Cooker Wassail:
Description:  West Virginia slow cooker wassail is a warm, fragrant holiday beverage, combining apple cider, fruit juices (orange, pineapple, or cranberry), spices like cinnamon and cloves, and sometimes apple butter or red hots. Simmered slowly to create a sweet, tangy, and spiced flavor, it serves as a comforting, non-alcoholic, or fortified festive punch.

↠ Peanut Butter Cold Brew:
Description:  A Peanut Butter Cold Brew is a smooth, refreshing beverage blending bold, low-acid cold brew coffee with rich, nutty peanut butter flavors, often enhanced by creamers, milk (dairy or plant-based), and sweeteners like vanilla syrup. It is commonly served over ice, featuring a creamy, dessert-like profile.

↠ Southern Honey Rosemary Iced Tea:
Description:  Southern Honey Rosemary Iced Tea is an elegant, refreshing, and aromatic beverage that elevates traditional Southern sweet tea with a sophisticated herbal twist. It combines the deep, robust flavor of brewed black tea (often Earl Grey or English Breakfast) with a homemade simple syrup infused with fresh rosemary and raw honey, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
