I love to make homemade drinks and beverages for my family. We try to drink a lot of water, but drinking water all the time can be boring, especially for kids! Plus, making special beverages is a wonderful way to add something special to a party or a dinner.
Over the years, I’ve learned to make plenty of drinks and I’m sharing them all here! The following beverage recipes make awesome drinks for the entire family! There are warm winter drinks, healthy smoothies, refreshing teas, and creamy milkshakes to keep you hydrated all year long!
As a note, you will not find our mocktails for kids here as they have a page all their own. We just have so many of them that it was easiest to sort them separately. Stop over and get a look at those too!
Once you learn how to make these beverage recipes, you’ll come up with all kinds of drink ideas of your own! All of the recipes are easy to customize, so you can add and remove ingredients as you like. And if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients, just swap them for something that’s better for you. The choice is yours!
