Drinks to help you beat the heat in Arizona

Blue Hound Kitchen in Phoenix is sharing a few drinks to chill you out this summer.

Everyone screams for ice cream. That combined with the heat of summer makes it the perfect compliment to our triple digit days. 

One of the Valley's newest restaurants has created a special Nutella Milkshake which they are featuring for Arizona Dairy Month.

You can get this delicious dessert June 22 - 24 when Blue Hound hosts the 'Mooving Milkshake Shop' on its last tour stop. 

If your tastes prefer a more adult beverage, Blue Hound master mixologist, Shel Bourdon says they offer six categories of cocktails ranging from shandies to buttoned-up classics on their menu.

You may be hearing a lot about the shandy, it seems to be popping up everywhere these days.  Bourdon says 'shandies are beer cocktails that are mixed with citrus-flavored soda, carbonated lemonade, ginger beer, ginger ale, or cider. They're light and refreshing; really great for summer.'

She shares one of her shandy recipes with us.
