What drink to cool you down?

[Sammiejane]

I have just made a drink that is a favourite here in hot weather,
its easy and yummy

One bottle of Cranberry juice - i use the light as it has no added sugar
Some fresh mint hand torn to release flavour
juice from one lemon
Ice cubes

Pour into a big jug and chill

Its also really nice with Vodka - its been a while since i had that thou

Anyone else got a favourite drink to cool down with?

i cant go past water on the rocks!!!

but that drink u made sounds refreshing - can u do it without the mint tho and does it still taste good?

Home made Lemonade?
Home made Ice Tea?

You could make raspberry slushies too.

In a blender ice and frozen raspberries and blend, top with lemonade (and if you want it alcoholic add vodka to the ice and raspberries.

the only thing i can stomach in this heat is good old water - and i'm drinking it like a fish and still feeling dehydrated!

normally a little fresh lemon juice in water is good - it's just not working for me at the moment. our lemon tree has sweeter lemons though - that helps...

I am not a big fan water even though we have a "office type" water cooler that is filtered. So I have drunk about 10 glasses of water, about 7 with a small touch of cordial for flavour, and ice.

Good old H2O here, i never can quench a thirst with anything else.
Hang on, ice cold beer is up there after water - if i recall, that's pretty pleasing lol
