Nothing says summer like a tasty, icy cold drink. It’s even better when it’s so simple to make by using your Keurig! If you haven’t tried some of these Brew Over Ice flavors you definitely have to get that on your to-do list this summer. These are my favorite for a quick, cool pick-me-up when it’s scorching hot outside. Cross Country Cafe has all of the varieties you could possibly want and shipping is free on orders of $59 so stock up now and enjoy them all summer long.

I love the Vitamin Burst Acai Berry flavor and with a few additional (seriously, 3!) simple ingredients I turned it into something tasty and special.  First I made a batch for adults for me and my husband, then omitted the vodka and made a second batch for the kids…which they LOVED!

Citrus Acai Berry K-Cup Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 Vitamin Burst Acai Berry K-Cup
• 3oz. vodka (2 shots)  (omit and make it non-alcoholic and great for kids!)
• 1 lemon, zest, juice, and sliced
• 1 orange, zest, juice, and sliced

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice and brew a 10oz. cup of  Acai Berry K-cup in your Keurig

Pour the drink into a large bowl and set aside while you prep the fruit.

Zest the orange until you have about 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Add it to the bowl with the drink in it.

Cut the orange in half.  Into a small bowl, squeeze the juice out of one of the halves and then discard it. Slice the other half into circles, at least 3 of them.  Cut the circles into quarters so you should have 12 orange pieces. Place 10 of those pieces into the bowl with the drink in it.  Reserve the other two pieces for garnish.

Do the same with the lemon: Zest until you have about 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Add it to the drink.  Cut the lemon in half and juice one half into the same small bowl you juiced the orange into.  You can then pour that small bowl or orange and lemon juice into the larger bowl with the drink.  Slice the other half of the lemon into 2-3 circles and then quarter them.  Put all of those pieces into the bowl with the drink in it.

Stir or whisk the drink mix really well until combined.  Fill 2 glasses with ice and pour the drink over the ice.  Garnish with the reserved orange slices.

Makes 2 drinks plus enough to top them off!
