Summer drinks (159/365)

[white_hart]

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?

Elderflower cordial or lightly fizzy presse, chilled hibiscus or rosehip tea (stains your teeth though), blood orange or lemon San Pellegrino if you can get the Italian recipe one with sugar rather than sweetener (new recipe tastes vile sadly), or M&S do some really nice cordials and lightly fizzy drinks. I bought a can of peach and mango lightly fizzy spring water in the social supermarket yesterday which I'm hoping is nice!

Must remember to make some ice cubes!

Oh, the peach and mango fizzy water sounds lovely!

Turns out it's peach and passionfruit, but yes, very pleasant!
