Here's another option to try, among cold drinks to reach for in hot weather. It's easy to make and you'll probably find you already have all the ingredients on hand.

The U.S. Apple Association, which provides this recipe, also has ideas for Apple Blossom Ice Cream Soda and Apple Spritzer on its Web site (www.usapple.org)
