Fruity, sweet, tart and sparkling: cool summer sippers for every occasion.
It's the season of lemonade stands and porch swings. While sweet iced tea and lemonade may seem like all-American refreshers, the traditions go back further than you might think. Vendors in Paris--the "Compagnie de Limonadiers"--were selling lemonade in the 1600s. Recipes for iced tea have existed for two hundred years, but it was the 1904 World's Fair that popularized it. Now Americans drink nearly 100 million glasses of iced tea every day. Find your favorite quencher and take a long, cool sip.
