Des boissons et des plats qui ont le goût de l'été à Dallas

A good ol' apple pie from Sweet J's Bakes! It's the perfect Americana dessert to bring to a fourth of July celebration or summer barbecue.
A frozen margarita from Taqueria La Ventana. Once you and the kiddos are worn out from too much fun and sun at Klyde Warren Park, head down McKinney Avenue for an inexpensive order of street tacos and cold drinks at a casual patio picnic table with a giant umbrella.
Fresh fruit and vegetables! The Dallas Farmers Market stalls are bursting with berries, cucumbers, greens, peaches, peppers, sum mer squash and more.
Iced Coffee. Swap that hot cup for iced coffee flights from Peaberry Coffee inside Celestial Beerworks in the Dallas Medical District.
Rafraîchissez-vous avec le "Martini le plus froid du monde" au Drake 's sur Lovers Lane. Avec votre choix de Grey Goose ou d'Aviation Gin, servi très frais et embouteillé individuellement, le cocktail glacé de Drake pourrait bien être votre nouveau favori.
