It’s here! The unofficial start to summer. For some the summertime means vacations and endless s’mores, but for those of us in The Sunshine State it’s HOT and extra humid. Thankfully we get to experience warm weather year-round, but come August, everyone’s over the heat. So, as we look forward to those fall #FloridaBrag days and wearing shorts on Christmas, here’s a few ways to stay cool during these stifling summer months.
Consume Loads of Jeremiah’s Italian Ice: These local shops are serving up tasty frozen treats around town including refreshing Italian Ice in over 40 flavors, creamy ice cream and Jeremiah’s Gelati – the perfect layering of any flavor Italian Ice with soft ice cream! The Gelati is fabulous and an unexpected burst of flavor where ice cream meets sugary goodness.
LaCroix Sparkling Water: Hands down the best sparkling water on the market. I may or may not have had 16 cans one weekend while the beach. Oops. Thankfully LaCroix is 100% natural, made with nothing artificial, calorie, sweetener, sodium, caffeine and gluten free. And it tastes good. While I enjoy all of the LaCroix flavors, their Cúrate line, which means, “cure yourself” in Spanish, and has stronger flavor cues and bolder aromas than the “hint of flavor” in the core LaCroix lineup. Either way, you can’t go wrong drinking some of this sparkling water while laying by the pool or lounging seaside. Go grab some at Publix!
Lineage Coffee Roasting: Skip the hot coffee on a sweltering day and pick up a bottle of Lineage’s cold brew with cream. Your cares will simply melt away!
Peterbrooke Chocolatier: Pop over for some creamy gelato and do not miss their Banana Caramel Praline gelato with sugar coated pralines! Rumor has it Oprah has buckets of this confection shipped to her house, so you know it has to be good.
Stay cool Orlando, stay cool!
