One of our favorite things about summer is the ability to relax outside. After being cooped up all winter long, there’s nothing quite like feeling the sun warm your skin (wearing SPF, of course!) while sitting by the pool, taking a dip in the ocean or chatting with friends at a backyard barbeque.
It’s also the season to enjoy refreshing tropical beverages of the adult variety. Want to indulge without all the guilt? Mix things up with these low-cal alternatives to your standby favorites.
