Made by juicing fresh cucumbers, this bright green beverage has a light, grassy taste that’s amazing for quenching your thirst on those hot summer days.
Iced Coffee
Need a pick-me-up by the pool? Iced coffee will not only hydrate you with its, well, ice but also give you a boost of energy thanks to the caffeine and sugar. The bitterness of the coffee will awaken your senses, the flavor balanced out with milk and coffee syrup of your choice, making this indulgent drink perfect for when you’re on the go.
Lime Juice
Sharper and tarter than lemon juice, lime juice offers the same zesty, vibrant taste while having a bitter, sharper bite to it. It pairs well with spicy cuisines such as Mexican or Thai, enhancing their flavors and keeping with the tropical vibe.
Iced Tea
With its golden hue and sweet flavor, iced tea is a quintessential summertime drink. Enjoy the summer version of your favorite tea by brewing it in hot water and adding sugar as you normally would, but then store it in your fridge until it’s cool. Then, add ice. Simple, charming, and deliciously refreshing.
Carrot juice
Packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients, carrot juice is incredibly good for you. The rich, earthy flavor of the carrots coupled with their natural sweetness gives its distinctly vegetable flavor a delightful sweetness that makes it an all-around healthy and yummy drink.
Cucumber Water
Give your plain old water a subtle hint of refreshing flavor with some bright green cucumber slices! The soothing taste of the cucumber will give your water extra crispness and help you stay hydrated for longer with almost no prep involved.
Strawberry Lemonade
Bursting with a sweet, tangy flavor, strawberry lemonade marries the succulent taste of fresh strawberries with zesty lemon juice. Its bright red hue, carbonated water, and vibrant flavor are distinctly summery, keeping you hydrated, invigorated, and delighted by its taste.
Lemon Water
Make your water more refreshing with a hint of citrus by introducing a few fresh lemon slices to your glass. The bright, zesty, and sweet flavor of lemon juice will feel like a nice, simple cleanse to your palette while keeping you hydrated.
Instant Pot Infused Water
Often giving your water a fun, bright color, infused water is a great way to escape the monotony of drinking lots of plain water on hot summer days. Just put your favorite fruits, herbs, and spices into a pressure cooker with your water for five minutes, then allow to cool and enjoy!
Zobo Drink
The deep red Nigerian drink zobo is a thirst-quenching blend of hibiscus, ginger, and aromatics. Tart and sweet, the floral hints from the hibiscus and the comforting warmth of the ginger give it a rich, complex flavor that’s cherished on the vibrant streets of Nigeria.
Dalgona Coffee
Becoming viral on the internet for its unique presentation, dalgona coffee is coffee foam that sits atop a layer of hot or cold milk. If you still need your caffeine fix during those hot summer days, the cool, creamy milk and sweet, frothy coffee foam are a delectable choice.
Sorrel drink
Popularised in the Caribbean, sorrel is a tangy blend of warming spices that’s traditionally served at Christmas and New Year’s. With its ruby red color, sorrel is made using dried hibiscus flowers and a typical winter spice infusion of star anise, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Its sweet, deep flavor makes it a great thirst quencher all year round.
Iced Latte
A delectable contrast of hot espresso, chilled milk, and ice cubes, iced lattes are a more hydrating method of getting your caffeine fix. The bitterness of the coffee opposed to the ice creates the perfect mix of energizing and refreshing flavors.
Simple Infused Water
For a gentle taste, infused water is easy to make at home and will give your water some refreshing flavor. Often made using slices of citrus, berries, and sprigs of herbs such as rosemary and mint, all you have to do is put your fruits and herbs of choice in your container of water and refrigerate for a few hours for the flavors to come out.
Lemonade
Embodying the essence of summer, lemonade is many people’s go-to on sunny days. The sweet and sour flavor of the citrusy lemon juice dances with the carbonated bubbles on your tongue, awakening your senses while satisfying your hydration needs.
Fruit punch
A colorful bowl of fruit punch is a must-have for any party! This fruity concoction is an explosion of sweetness, being a mixture of berries, citrus, and tropical fruit. It’s often mixed with sparkling wine or vodka and is one of the more delicious and simple ways to get tipsy.
