thirst-quenchers

Last weekend, watching Adrian and a pal work on trails, fill in big holes, and do some serious sweating overall, got me thinking about canteens — specifically, that the boys really needed one. Not because they’ll actually drink out of it, of course, but because they’re just so cool. For your own canteen memories (and sweaty kids, too), here are some ideas.

When hanging out with Arielle and her friends one hot day in Athens, the gals were drinking (um, no surprise there) a little party beverage featuring Stoli Blueberi. Inspired, we played around with the ingredients a bit and came up with this refreshing summer cocktail.

Country Cooler

Stoli Blueberi (chilled in freezer)

Fresh-squeezed juice from two, large oranges, with some pulp

Fresh blueberries

Chilled club soda

Simple syrup

Combine orange juice, club soda and Stoli according to taste. Add a splash of simple syrup. Toss in lots of ice cubes and blueberries, then kick back and enjoy!
