Why National Juice Slush Day?

When we speak of icy cool drinks, the juice slush is one of the many options that come to our mind. Easy to take around, these are your perfect partners when you are out lounging in the sun or you have a field trip to be part of.

Historically, many royal courts had the habit of bringing freshly fallen snow and topped it up with berries and other fruits to make an amazing dessert for the summer. The times have changed and we don’t live in the era of royal courts anymore. But that doesn’t mean we would not love to have some interesting drinks to have in summer. May is the month as we approach summer and there are many interesting drinks around the corner to indulge in. The juice slush is just what you need to beat the summer heat and that is why we honor this amazing drink on this cool day in May.
