Looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy this summer, but don't want anything alcoholic? Check out these delicious and refreshing non-alcoholic summer drinks! From fruity drinks to icy smoothies, there's something for everyone.
Summer is loved for holidays, and vacation time which means family time and enjoyment. But the bad part is its heat and humidity. Summer comes with a long list of problems too – skin, hair, health problems.
Because of excess heat, there are high chances of heavy sweating, dizziness, headache, nausea, muscle cramps, sunburn, or in the worst case sunstroke. It also decreases the appetite to eat more.
So in summers, we have to treat our body with healthy as well as hydrating food. e,g. avoid tea (hot), coffee (hot), and other caffeine products. Eat more fruits, salads and drink lots of juice and water, and keep the body well hydrated. This is because with heat our body dissipates more liquid from our body.
Another thing to consider is if you consume alcohol, shall reduce the quantity of intake as it dehydrates the body. So even if you are making a boozy drink, make a nice cocktail with some fruit juices n make it a more hydrating drink.
Best Summer Drinks That Are Non-Alcoholic
A tall glass of iced tea is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. Sweetened with sugar and served over ice, iced tea is a refreshing alternative to plain water. For a twist on this classic drink, try adding lemon or mint for extra flavor.
Another summertime favorite is lemonade. Made with fresh lemons, sugar, and water, lemonade is tart and sweet in equal parts. For a summer party, mix up a pitcher of strawberry lemonade using fresh strawberries and lemon juice.
Finally, no list of summer drinks would be complete without mentioning cold brew coffee. Cold brew is made by steeping coffee beans in room-temperature water for 12-24 hours. The resulting coffee is less acidic and has a smoother flavor than traditionally brewed coffee. It can be served over ice or used as the base for an iced latte.
Whatever your preference, there's a summer drink to suit everyone's taste. Cheers!
