What cold drink do you like to drink on hot days?

[sirrahbed]

It was 93 degrees here and so feels like summer! I wondered what you all like to have to drink when it is really hot outside - what refreshes?

I grew up on sweet tea and LOVE it - but do not think anything refreshes like ice water! My next favorite is a bottle of water with a Peach Tea "Single" added.

So, how about you?

[joanofark]

Water or Gatorade/Powerade. :)

[Pam]

I'm on an iced tea (green tea) kick now and make it myself using the bags. When you are really, really thirsty I agree that there is nothing like a glass of ice water chock full of ice cubes! :)

[WolvesRawk]

snapple

[Samantha Puppy]

Depends on what I'm in the mood for. I like water if I've been active. Powerade if it's so hot outside, breathing makes you sweat. And iced tea (sweetened and with lemon) if it's just a nice, warm-but-not-hot day.

[Miss Z]

Oh I wish it was hot enough here to have ice cold drinks! Hopefully it will warm up soon. I like having either Dr Pepper or Iced Tea in hot weather, but you know, a glass of mineral water or fresh orange juice always makes me feel much fresher and more summery ;) :D

[luvofallhorses]

Iced tea or kool-aid. :) more soda, though. :o

[crazy_caique]

I love ice-cold soda or a glass of lemonade :)

[Chilli]

Iced-tea, kool-aid, or Lemonaide^^!

[Karen]

I used to love lemonade, until I became allergic to lemons, that is. Now cold apple juice, or iced tea, sweetened but no lemon, of course.

[finn's mom]

Water! :) Soda just dehydrates me, and, defeats the purpose of drinking in the first place! :)

[Roxyluvsme13]

Lemonade :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Sweetened iced tea for me!!! :D

[Toby's my baby]

Water!! These past few days I have been drinking a lot of water....and Vault...nawtee me...:o

It has been HORRIBLE outside lately, 90 degree weather with 45% humidity, everyday, in MINNESOTA!! :eek: It rarely gets to the 90's here, though it is always humid, and it has been like this for about a week. There is a 15 mile an hour wind speed, and the wind chill is 90 :o.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Just water or Iced Tea usually.

[Cookiebaker]

It totally depends on my mood -- but I love:

* Cold, filtered water (crushed ice if available)
* Iced Tea with sugar and lemon
* Iced Coffee!!
* Cold Sprite
* Snapple (almost any flavor)

Now, I'm thirsty! ;)

[Vermontcat]

Ice cold water with lots of ice. (I'm drinking it now)
I also like iced tea and lemonade.
Snapple makes really good iced tea - lemon, raspberry and peach. :)

[chocolatepuppy]

Water is my first choice. I do like iced tea once and awhile in the summer. :)

[sammy101]

unsweetened ice tea. :)

[lute]

EXTRA SWEET Ice Tea!

[Kfamr]

WATER! Nothing hydrates me better than water.

Gatorade works as well, depending on my mood though - I usually choose water first.

Ditto, Ditto.

I LOVE garorade, but if it's hot and I'm moving around a lot it upsets my stomache a bit.

[Cincy'sMom]

Water first, then lemonade or ice tea

I know alcohol dehydrates, but some hot days there is nothing better then an ice cold beer, or Mike's Hard Lemonade

[davidpizzica]

I like to drink a lot of diet Pepsi(I know I shouldn't, but I do!), but when I'm working on the golf course there are some nice cold water fountains and I drink a lot of cold water.

[shihtzulover850]

water and lemonade. :D :D :D :D with no ice in it. I hate it when the ice melts in the drink yuck!! :p

[*iluvskipper*]

cold lemonade or cold water or cold pop! :)

[dogzr#1]

It depends. If i'm out working about then a glass of ice cold water would be my first choice. If we aren't working, but just relaxing then I would like a glass of apple juice. I love apple juice!

[Alysser]

Just water or Iced Tea usually.
Same here. Boring maybe but I like them alot. Iced tea and water are very refreshing. I know it sounds weird but sometimes do you think orange juice or snapple make you more thirsty? I do lol.

[Anita Cholaine]

For me, water if the best thing to drink when it's really hot. Pepsi with a lot of ice is really good too!

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

Water, Coffee Toffee Lattes from Esquires and Pepsi. :D

[k9krazee]

A giant glass of ice water!

[buttercup132]

I know people say pop isnt thirst quenching but for me it is. But other then that I like milk and water.

[critter crazy]

Iced Tea!! especially the new lipton green tae!! now that hits the spot!!!!!:D

[Sirrahsim]

An ice cold Coca Cola!!
Any beverage can be hydrating, even soda, as long as it's not ALL that you drink :)

[shais_mom]

Ice water is my first and formost - I usually have at least a bottle of water wherever I go.
2nd is Lemonade especially Fresh.

[MomOf7]

I have a 32 oz insulated mug I use for Ice water all year round. I am a water person.
I also love to enjoy a white russian on a occasional hot day...dont know why? :confused: :)

[MsLadyLyn]

Ice water with lots and lots of ice. A big glass of Sweet Ice Tea but it has to be Green Tea. And once in a loooong while a very cold glass of beer with V8 Spicy in it and a dash of pepper huuummm, yummy. :cool:

[Suki Wingy]

Diet Coke

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Diet pepsi, ice water, strawberry mango smooties, or iced lattes!

[Lizzie]

I don't like cold drinks when it's hot or any other time. Even when it's in the nineties, I drink hot tea - preferably Darjeeling.

[Randi]

I too like a cup of hot tea when it's hot, but also ice cold bubbly water or Pepsi/Coca Cola. Later in the day, a cold lager is great, and also a Gin and Tonic. :)

[elizabethann]

This thread makes me chuckle.

I used to love Lemonade but when I was a youngster I went to the very 1st Live Aid concert in PA with my brother. We were on the field and didn't want to lose our places to go and buy food or drink. It was very hot out. The only thing that was close to where we were sitting was a Lemonade stand. So I drank Lemonade all day and nothing else (didn't even eat food). I swear I lost 15 pounds that day.

I haven't had Lemonade since.

:D

So, to answer your question, a BIG glass of chilled water!!

:)

[Chica]

I just love lemonade!!!!!!Real Cold!!!! :)

[Argranade]

Well when im realy thirsty ill grab the first drink I see even if I dont like it that much when im thirsty im thirsty its not like I can get a nice capichino all the time lol.

[cyber-sibes]

[cocker_luva]

[petslover]
