Summer in the Kern River Valley is hot, sunny, and perfect for outdoor fun. But when you’re done splashing in the river or hiking in the mountains, you’ll want something cold and tasty to help you cool off. Luckily, Kernville has some of the best summer drinks around, and we’ve got the top three that you absolutely have to try this June!
First up is the Strawberry Milkshake at McNally’s Outpost. This sweet, creamy treat is made with real strawberries and is super refreshing after a day in the sun. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike! Sit in the shade with your milkshake, watch the river roll by, and enjoy the classic, old-school charm of McNally’s. It’s like summer in a cup!
If you’re in the mood for something a little more grown-up, head over to The Sportsman‘s and grab their famous Frozen Margarita. It’s icy, zesty, and just the thing to cool your taste buds. Or, if you’re a craft beer fan, don’t miss the Isabella Blonde on tap at Kern River Brewing Company. It’s light, crisp, and brewed right here in town — perfect for sipping on the patio with friends. No matter your style, Kernville has a chill drink waiting for you this summer!
