Today is the first day of summer! So what better way to spend this Saturday afternoon than with the grill, games, and fun cocktails! Today I decided to get creative with our weekend drinks and recreate one of my childhood lunchbox faves – Capri Suns! The best part about these DIY Capri Sun pouches is you will not have to fight with inserting the straw! 🙂 I ordered these fun drink pouches here from Amazon! They’re perfect for any backyard bbq, tailgate, or a fun way to pre-package a party punch! I experimented with a few recipes this afternoon, and these were my favorite 4 adult capri sun recipes!
