- Mango, banana and coconut tropical smoothie. Blend mango, banana and coconut for a delicious tropical smoothie.
- Watermelon agua fresca with basil and cayenne. This non-alcoholic drink is made with fresh fruits, sugar and chilled water. Add cayenne for a kick.

- Fruit-infused water. Combine fruit, water, and mint; it doesn't get much easier than that.
- Fizzy blueberry basil punch. Combine blueberries, basil, water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer it until the blueberries dissolve and the liquid is deep purple.
