The fun park action at Piedmont Park for Atlanta Jazz Festival
I had an amazing Mememorial Day Weekend? It was so much to do and a great way to kick off the summer! The best way to have ablast in Atlanta and start your memorial weekend off right is with the annual Atlanta Jazz Fesitival. 1000s of people come out every year with their friends, family, spouse, etc…food/drinks, blanket and just a good time in the big park of Piedmont enjoying jazz music. It is so much fun I go every year.
Picnics and selfie sticks really go great together! Selfies sticks are the next best things since…social media period! I was obsessed with taking selfies (or usies) with my friends! We were all having a ball, enjoying the music, with plenty of food and drinks. We had a tent set up and even celebrated my friend Nina’s birthday out there. This is definitely one of my favorite times of year…so much fun!
At the Jazz Fest my friends and I all brought something to bring to the park. I decided to make this Citrus Delight Mix as a cool refreshing summer drink to having in the sun. I made a lot of it and it was super easy to make to share with a lot of people.
It’s so simple…the main ingredient is the SunnyD! I literally haven’t enjoyed this beverage since I was a child, but I found an adult way to spruce it up! There were no alchol in these drinks…because we had kids at this gathering so this is also children-friendly! We can’t taint a childhood classic drink like that…at least I didnt (wink).
It’s such an easy breezy drink! You only need SunnyD, Pineapple Juice and strawberries for garnish! Half parts SunnyD + Half parts pineapple juice and mix it up! Trust me this is the new and improved way to drink a childhood classic! There is also an additional alternative if you want to get a tad bit fancier. You can add selizer water to this as well for a spritzier effect! Another tidbit* feel free to subsitute ice for frozen strawberries as well. This drink looks a little exotic and fun, your friends are gonna feel like they are sipping a drink in the Carribeans without leaving the country!
Definitely the star of the drink are these cute little 6.75oz SunnyD drinks! . Sunny D is no longer just for kids, grown-ups can enjoy this drink with a citrus flair too!
I bought my SunnyD in a 24ct. 6.75oz. bottles in the Tangy Original flavor at Sam’s Club. They should be on Rollback at $5.38 vs. the original retail price of $5.98. Buying them in bulk was really cost effective and also great to take some of these to the park as well.
Adult and Children, young or old(er), we all have one thing in common. We love the summertime and we all love refreshing beverages and making memories this seasonSo as you plan your vacations, staycations and update your summer wardrobe…I truly hope this will be a summer to remember. Trust me, this is gonna be a mega-summer for me…lots of trips lined up and more and of course they will be shared on the blog. Memorial Weekend is where my fun began for the summer, and I hope it kicked it off for you as well!

This idea is fabulous, especially since I have always loved the taste of Sunny D but felt it was too thick. I will definitely be making this sometime over the summer!
You definitely had a great time. It was fun to hear about the Jazz Festival. My favorite summer drink is iced tea (unsweetened, homemade) with a splash of fruit juice in. Sunny D works right into the plan.
My Grandmother used to combine orange juice and pineapple juice–I remember loving it! I haven’t though of making it in ages. I also like SunnyD –add some pineapple juice and I would be in 7th heaven.
This looks so good Kiwi! I am definitely going to pick up some Sunny D when I go to Sam’s to get Maxton’s milk, lol. This will be a tasty addition to the Garden-Rita party 🙂
You always look like your having a good time! That looks so good. My kids love sunny D! We buy it for them often and I’ve had to sneak a few for myself! Looks so good!
That sounds like a really fun festival to attend! And I haven’t had Sunny D since I was a kid either, but now I want some mixed with pineapple juice. Sounds refreshing!
Yummy, this sounds delicious. It has been a long time since I have had a glass of Sunny D. I typically don’t buy it for the kids but I might have to try this mixed drink. I love the fruit that you added too.
This looks delicious, my grandkids love Sunny D so I think they would really like it. I’ll have to make them some when they come visit this weekend. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Oh I used to love SunnyD back in the day, then they changed the mix though and it didn’t taste the same. I love the sound of your drink though with the pineapple juice.

That would be super refreshing. In fact, I could use one right about now!
Now I’m super thirsty! That looks amazing! I bet that hint of pineapple tastes wonderful!
This looks delicious. What a fun idea.
What a cool way to bring some nostalgia to our adult tastebuds! I remember when the kids used to drink Sunny D all the time.

You’ve totally captured the yumminess of summer in that drink! I am counting down the days until summer vacation, just like the kids.

Your citrus delight sounds delicious!! I think it could easily be made into a summer adult beverage too.
I’m so ready for this rain to go away and for summer to be here. Let the sun shine in!!! SunnyD is fun!!
