Southport Magazine

The dog days of summer are upon us. Combining the heat with coastal Carolina humidity, just stepping foot outside is enough to make us sweat. We seek refuge in any way possible: a cool dip in the ocean, lounging on a raft in the pool, or simply cranking up the A/C and staying indoors.

We’ve culled a few excuses to venture outside to local eateries, though: frozen, non-alcoholic drinks. From espresso-laden offerings to fruity smoothies, we share the best ways to keep cool, comfortable and indulgent. With these delicious treats, we think the snowmen will be migrating south in no time.
