Cold drinks to soothe a hot day can come iced, frozen, shaken or stirred. And now, thanks to Caribou Coffee, those drinks can be enjoyed at a discount.

First, take the first coupon and enjoy our country's birthday Wednesday by paying just $4 for two, medium drinks. I am already looking forward to sipping a tall, frozen mocha with whipped cream while watching the parade march by me at Racine's Fourth Fest.

But don't toss your receipt. Keep it and take it with the second coupon later this week to enjoy another Caribou coffee specialty for 1/2 price.

Yes, it really could be like Christmas in July while we say, "Happy Birthday, America!"

The coupons attached can be printed or shown to a Caribou cashier on a smart phone.

What's your favorite drink?
