So why not add some playful and tasty drinks for kids to the mix? We’ve rounded up our favorite kid-friendly drinks that are easy to make, big on flavor, and sure to keep the fun flowing all summer long.
This bright, layered drink looks just like a summer sunset and tastes even better!
What you need:
Directions:
Fill a clear cup with ice and pour in equal parts orange and pineapple juice. Slowly drizzle a bit of grenadine down the side of the glass (it’ll sink and create a layered “sunset” effect). Top with a cherry or a slice of orange, and serve with a crazy straw. It’s tropical, tasty, and totally photo-worthy.
This one’s like a smoothie and dessert all in one. And yes, it’s a kid-safe version of that famous theme park treat!
What you need:
Directions:
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Serve with a spoon or a thick straw in a colorful cup. It’s tangy, sweet, and totally tropical—perfect after a cannonball contest.

This one is more of a drink hack, but kids love it.
How it works:
Use an ice cube tray to freeze different juices (like grape, orange, cranberry, and apple) in each section. Once frozen, pop a few into a glass and top with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. As the cubes melt, the drink changes in flavor and color! It’s like a science experiment you can sip on.
