Summertime parties call for summertime quaffs - and when the event is an 18th birthday party, a wedding or anything else at which minors are present, having a stylish non-alcoholic beverage option is a must. And what better than one of those chic iced tea-lemonades that's making waves at Starbucks, trendy cafes and hip restaurants? This rosy-hued version uses Tazo passion tea, but it's delicious with any flavor.
