Healthy Summer Party Drinks

By Ilisa Cohen

Ahh, summer. Raise a glass (adorned with an umbrella, perhaps) to catching fireflies, running through sprinklers, packing picnics and swinging on lemonade porches. But before you say cheers to calorie-laden cocktails, consider mixing up a batch of these fruity mocktails packed with vitamins and nutrients.

Banana Pineapple Lassi

Put a flower in your hair and transport yourself to an imaginary tropical island as you sip this vitamin C-packed Banana Pineapple Lassi from Guy Fieri, host of three Food Network shows and the NBC primetime series, Minute To Win It.

2 teaspoons dry chai spice blend
8 oz vanilla bean yogurt
1 banana, about one cup
1 small can of pineapple in heavy syrup (about 6 ounces)

Rim 4 highball glasses with dry chai spice blend. Combine all ingredients into blender and blend on high. Pour into 4 glasses. For grown up version, add 3 ounces dark rum and 1 ounce vodka.
