Take the first syllable of a refreshing breakfast juice, add a deliberate untruth, and you get the warmest month for a holiday barbecue. What am I?
July
The answer is found by blending two phonetic clues into a single month. 'Ju' is the initial sound of the word 'juice,' while a deliberate untruth is a 'lie.' Putting them together phonetically yields 'July,' the month celebrated with summer barbecues.
