For a special treat, grown-ups can add red or white wine to a Blueberry Peach Smoothie.

Tea drinkers may want to relax with a glass of Iced Orange Green Tea Latte, combining the tea with milk, ginger and orange juice, and serving it over crushed ice. Coffee lovers can sip on a Chilly Café Au Lait or an Icy Mocha Smoothie. You can use coffee-flavoured liqueur in the smoothie if desired.
