In a recent thread drift someone mentioned milk and referred to it as a
refreshing beverage. I am one of the (apparently few) adults who find
milk to be refreshing. It does, however, have to be *very* cold.

I drink ice water all day long. I have a glass of ice water next to my
bed when I go to sleep in case I get thirsty.

I do not like soda pop, diet or otherwise. I do like some fruit juices,
cranberry juice in particular. Apple juice is nice on occasion. So is
pineapple juice. I find orange juice to be too acidic.

I drink white wine (but not as much as some would have you believe) and
I don't really consider it "refreshing".

So, what's your refreshing beverage of choice?

Water with a little *unsugared* cranberry juice is my favorite.

Cranberry juice definitely must NOT have any added sugar.

Ah yes, club soda is good. Especially when a splash is added to
cranberry juice. Makes it a little bubbly.

Ooh ....real close to my "NOT". Anything I drink must NOT have anything
cranberry added.

I seldom have soft drinks. I have only recently started buying orange
juice again, but I only have about half a glass per day. I have an
occassionally slug of sour cherry juice. Most of the time I drink water.

Really... you have a SodaStream? Whodathunkit. Personally I can't

Bubbly or otherwise.

I despise iced tea. Blasphemy for a person living in the South, I know,
but true. I simply do not like iced tea. Sweet or unsweetened, no
thank you. I also don't want an "Arnold Palmer" (half tea, half lemonade).

I don't like heavy carbonation but I'd try a well iced glass of cucumber.

If I do drink a soda, it will be a room temperature soda poured over a
lot of ice to get rid of some of the bubbles and the melting ice takes
the edge off the sweetness.

Getting back to the original question, plain cold water is #1 in our
house. Nothing quenches thirst better. We do have iced tea, mostly in
summer but also at other times.

I enjoy the occasional adult beverage but I don't really consider them
as refreshing. If thirsty, I always have a glass of cold water first.

At night there's a liter sippy bottle of plain room temperature water
at beside. In the morning I drink two large mugs of black coffee. At
about 10 AM I switch to plain ice water with a quarter fresh lemon
squeezed in. That lemon rind gets replenished with more ice and water
until about 8 PM when I switch to ice with Diet Sprite and a new wedge
of fresh lemon and a couple glugs of Crystal Palace Vodka. Naturally
some days I have different beverages, depends on time of year and
whether I'll be home or not, but at night it's always plain water. In
warm weather when I spend all day mowing it's the same plain water,
but when I'm finished and have washed the tractor and put it away
it'll be about 5 PM I may on occasion if it's very hot out grab a can
of ice cold beer... it's difficult to mow after 5 PM as when the sun
is low it's difficult to see mowed from unmowed. I start mowing at 10
AM because by then the dew has evaporated, can't mow wet grass, I mow
until 5 PM. That's a good seven hours but I mow for two full days
each week. That's just one of my retirement jobs... I don't believe
in retiring to laze in a chair looking out a condo window all day,
everyone I knew who did that didn't last a year.

Ice water, same as you, all day long. I never was a big soda drinker, maybe
a couple in the warmer months, or when having a mixed drink, OJ gives me
heartburn, always has. If I was looking for refreshing, my choice would be
iced tea.

ATM it is blackberry and blueberry tea. It is good cold too. But like

Ice water. Except at breakfast, it's what I drink with almost all of
my meals. I very rarely feel thirsty, so I have a timer set on my phone
to remind me every couple of hours to drink water. At work I make
do with chilled tap water from the drinking fountain, but at home
it's a glass of ice water. Although this time of year the ice
is barely needed; the water from the tap is about 40 F.

Guess I'll join in here too. Water is the refreshing drink for me
when I'm thirsty. I like it cold but not ice water. In winter, tap
water is good as is and even overnight by my bed
it's fine temp.

In summer when it's hot, I'll fill up my 20oz glass and add just
one ice cube, that's all.

1-2 cups of coffee each morning. That's enough.

At work, I always take about 10oz of V-8 with pepper added.
Nice to sip on and finish for lunch.
I also keep a 2-liter bottle of diet orange soda to sip on
occasionally at work. One bottle last me about 10 workdays.
I never drink soda at home.

Most drinks for me is just water though - nature's champagne.

Oh and beer... doctor's orders - 2 a day or 1/2 aspirin.
Guess which one I choose? ;-D

Jill, mine is sparkling cranberry juice by Ocean Spray, diet version. Have you
tried it? We can't get it all the time here, OS saying they only deliver to both
coasts, but they periodically supply my store's warehouse....I ordered 4 doz.
cans from a supplier on Amazon with free shipping. Do you know how much
weight that is? I was tickled to get it. Besides cranberry, they also make some
of their cranberry blends in sparkling versions. The diet has only 10 calories a can.

What will you do with the empty cans? In my experience the local
stores won't redeem deposit containers for products they don't carry.

Nancy2, nope I haven't tried it. Sounds like it would be tasty! I
don't think about caloric content very often (I weigh @120). Perhaps
I'll buy some club soda to mix with the cranberry juice I have to give
it a little fizz. I occasionally like to drink club soda on the rocks
with lime.

We have a bin at the fire station where you can donate them to a local
charity. I prefer to drop them there that o stand at the store putting
them in a machine

I like it about 60/40 with OJ.

Another really refreshing drink I got once without asking was soda with
a bit of grenadine, simple syrup, and bitters (I think). It was awesome.
Is this a thing / is there a name for this?

Or just pour a little on a wedge of lime which works great too.

Refreshing, hmm. I suppose that would be a good beer, a cup of tea, or
just plain old water.

I've been making lots of smoothies since it's warmed up here, which
usually consists of berries, Greek yoghurt and almond milk (sometimes
macadamia or cashew milk). I guess that could be called refreshing on
a hot day.

I don't hate them all. Some are actually quite tasty. I have a sweet
tooth for food but not for beverages. I am not usually interested in
drinking something with that much sugar in it, and I don't like
artificial sweeteners.

I'll sometimes add a tsp of maraschino cherry syrup to my Sprite and
Crystal Palace vodka/rocks w/lemon. I used to love Barton's Stem
Cherries with dark chocolate, but alas, no more Barton's
Bonbonniere... their has never been finer chocolate and never will be.

Since I am not able to drink anything with alcohol which I don't
consider refreshing anyways, unless its a cold beer in the summer, my
favorite drink other than ice water is a mix of ginger ail and fruit
juice rather just either by themselves.

Boy am I late with this post! I was busy for once.
What you had was a variation of a "Hop-along Cassidy" if you were a boy
or "Shirley Temple" if you were a girl.
Or it could be a "Roy Rogers" or " Dale Evans" depending on when and
where you drank it. I knocked back a few in my day.
Trust me. It's a fact.
