Cool Down With These Must-Try Summer Drinks
Summer is here, and you can finally work on that tan. It’s time to get those tank tops and shorts out to show off that summer body that you’ve been working on (hopefully). It’s also time to get the barbecue out and enjoy spending time with family and friends in the sun. However, the scorching sun and searing heat can leave us craving something cool and hydrating. That’s where body-cooling drinks come in. These drinks will not only help you stay cool and hydrated but are also delicious. Below are some of our favorite beverages to try this summer.
Best Drinks for Summer
Milkshakes – Soothe all your cravings
Milkshakes are hands down the best drink for summer. These versatile drinks are the perfect remedy for the sweltering heat. These drinks are a favorite for the young and old alike. One of the greatest things about them is that they are so versatile. From the simple vanilla milkshake to the more complex flavors incorporating a wide range of ingredients, there’s a milkshake flavor to suit just about any palette. You can even add toppings such as Oreos, peanut butter, or fruit for a more exciting milkshake. They are perfect as a snack, as an accompaniment to a meal, or as a meal replacement.
Coconut Water
If you’re looking for a healthy drink that will boost your energy while keeping you cool and hydrated, a cold glass of coconut water will do. Coconuts are abundant in tropical regions, and the water extracted from the fruit is popular as a natural electrolyte drink. Forget those energy drinks this summer and chug a cold glass of coconut water rich in essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium, minus the sugar and caffeine. Substitute your sugary sports drink with coconut water and stay hydrated while boosting your energy and overall health.
Mango Turmeric Tonic
Looking for something sweet and refreshing? The mango turmeric tonic is perfect for keeping cool any time of the day. There’s even a non-alcoholic version featuring sparkling water, lemon, ginger syrup, turmeric, and, of course, mango. This fruity, sweet beverage offers a delightful blend of refreshing coolness and sweetness. The turmeric and ginger add a spicy twist to this cooling elixir.
A Root Beer Float
If you’re a fan of root beer or beer in general, now is a great time to add a twist to your favorite root beer. The root beer float features vanilla ice cream or other ice cream flavors. Some prefer whipped cream to ice cream, while others have both. It’s really up to you. Play around with flavors and toppings to discover the perfect one for you. You can even top it all up with a fruit such as a cherry. The sweet flavor of the ice cream and the smooth sizzle of the carbonated root beer combine to make a refreshing beverage. These are perfect for barbecues and alongside your favorite meal.
A Cold Beer
The list of body-cooling drinks wouldn’t be complete without a good ol’ cold beer. There’s nothing quite as refreshing as a cold beer straight out of the fridge or cooler. In fact, as the days get hotter, you’ll find that the urge to crack open a nice cold brew gets stronger. Being in Seattle for the summer is made better by the fact that you’ll have many local brews to sample. There are hundreds of small local breweries in and around the city. This is the perfect time to try new flavors and discover a new favorite to add to your list.
Mimosa
It’s never too early in the day for a mimosa. This versatile beverage offers lots of opportunities for experimentation. From orange and grapefruit to mango, cranberry, and pineapple, try different fruits and juices for your fruity mimosa pitcher. Every sip will transport you to the beach on your dream tropical island.
