Many food chains make this thirst quenching summer drink with soft-serve ice cream; a reasonable facsimile can be created at home with vanilla frozen yogurt or regular vanilla ice cream. With a few creative additions, this would also make a fantastic summer cocktail. It’s the ideal refreshing pick-me-up to sip and savor after spending a day at the beach or in your own back yard.
