On the hunt for new favorite recipes to add to your list of staples? The team at Westmount at Copper Mill, the best pet friendly apartments in Houston, encourages you to try your hand at these delicious options.
Because nothing is more refreshing than an ice-cold drink, your recipe staples should also include favorite beverages. Whether it’s summer or not, you’ll want to reach for one of these healthy drinks in place of a favorite soda when you need it most. Check out these two refreshing recipes below, courtesy of your favorite apartments in West Houston, which include a Honeydew Lime Cooler and Cherry Smash.

Place the cubed melon and grapes into the freezer for about an hour. In a blender, combine the frozen melon and grapes with the lime juice and honey. Process until smooth. Fill glasses until half full and then top off with the seltzer water. Stir and serve immediately.
Cherry Smash
