Summer drinks (159/365)

It is hot enough that when I got in just now, after a 40-minute walk and then a 15-minute drive in a car whose air conditioning always takes a good 20 minutes to kick in properly, I thought I'd rather have a cold drink than a cup of tea.

At which point I discovered that my stock of cold drinks consisted of about an inch of rather old elderflower cordial and a similar quantity of similar vintage Rose's lime juice cordial. And, while elderflower and lime mixed is definitely refreshing, I should probably replenish my stock a bit.

So, DW. What are your favourite non-alcoholic summer drinks?

Ginger beer sold as a mixer (e.g. Schweppes) tends to be much less sweet - might be worth a try.

Thanks! My favourite for flavour is the alcoholic one, which is lovely and gingery, but these days I'm getting stonking hangovers from one glass of wine or a bottle of beer so I've not risked it.
