13Listens Summertime Sippers Sipping on something cool is one of the simple pleasures of warm weather. Here are a few Better Living ideas to help make this everyday pleasure something special. Instead of using ice packs in the cooler, try freezing plastic drinking bottles with water and lemon slices. They'll keep things cold and when they melt you'll have fresh lemon water for drinking. Freeze seedless grapes and berries and use them instead of ice cubes in cool drinks.
Nothing is more refreshing than a cold drink served in a frosted glass.
Keep a few glasses in the freezer so they'll be ready when you want to serve an icy drink. Make simple drinks more elegant by lining the rim of the glass with sugar. Just dip the rim in water and then into a plate of sugar. Colored sugar looks particularly festive. Red, white, and blue ice cubes are perfect for patriotic holidays.
