Daiquiris come in a variety of colors and fruity flavors, easily tempting the eyes and the taste buds. Typical daiquiri flavors include strawberry and banana, but the Conch House in St. Augustine boasts unusual honeydew melon and watermelon daiquiris. Summertime also conjures the classic image of neighborhood kids running a 25-cent lemonade stand. Lemonade is a long-standing summer drink tradition, but few have been able to capture lemonade in a frozen version. Enter the limeade, a frozen spin-off of the classic glass of lemonade.
Limeades consist of freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar water and ice mixed into a frozen slush.
Also offered with cherry syrup, the limeade is guaranteed to cool you down and make your mouth pucker. The rum runner is another frozen drink served at almost any local bar or restaurant. At the Conch House, the rum runner consists of rum, blueberry Schnapps, lime juice, banana liqueur and grenadine. Also available is the frozen Goombay Smash, a very potent rum drink. Smoothies are fruity versions of the typical milkshake, just subtract the milk and add protein powder.
