As July nears and brings with it sky-high temperatures more and more restaurants are adding new beverages to their menus to help customers beat the heat. McDonalds, which began putting sweet tea in more stores outside the southern part of the country, has started increasing promotion of its iced coffees. The company is also slowly adding energy drinks and smoothies to some of its stores and plans to have them at most of them by 2010. And while that is a ways off, they hope to please customers this summer by running special prices on large teas and fountain sodas.

Another business that loves bringing in drinks for summer is Starbucks. They recently unveiled a blended lemonade drink and have some new summer blended drinks ready to go in a few weeks. Their summer drinks typically feature a fruity flavor, such as their new banana flavored drinks, while their winter drinks are usually a typically heavier flavor, such as mint.

Having summer based drinks allows for a nice change of pace for your customers and employees. Instead of making and drinking the same thing all year, summer drinks are a neat way to liven up a typical day and add some fun to summer. They are also a great way to create some advertising and possibly get more customers into your business. This time of year people want a cool, refreshing drink to relax after a long, hot day.
