So, the next time your kid comes up to you and asks for a cola to satiate his/her thirst – ‘hold on’, is what you need to say to him/her, and proceed to the kitchen to try out these fun summer drink recipes. These recipes are guaranteed to please your thirsty kids, and who knows, you might even get sprayed with adulations from the ‘apple of your eye’. A sure shot way to make a hot summer day cool for ‘junior’.
