Top 10 Summer Drinks

Warm beverages and cool, refreshing drinks have a way of pepping you up even on the worst of days. While warm beverages like masala chai or coffee are welcome in the mornings and on winter evenings, refreshing coolers work best when you are tired and panting on a busy summer’s day! With the onset of summer, everybody is looking for something cold and refreshing, be it spicy buttermilk, a pampering lassi or a nutritious fruity glassful.

Some like fun and fizzy drinks like Kiwi Margarita while others like nutrition-packed choices like the Watermelon, Pineapple and Guava Drink. Some drinks have a soothing and aesthetic flavour, such as the Coconut Rose Drink, while others have a snazzy tangy flavour, like the Minty Jamun Ginger Capriosca. The best thing about refreshing summer coolers is that you can make it as you like it – there is no specific regulation as to what you can or cannot do. These classic, must-try drinks recipes will not only please you with their great taste, but also give you some fabulous ideas and kindle your creative juices, so you can try more combos of your own. Just open your refrigerator, check out the fruits and squashes you have and blend them together to make a fabulous drink.

When your juice has fruits that decolorize, try to make the juice just before serving so that it will taste and look fresh. At the same time, there are some drinks that you can prepare and take with you to work, so you can sip on it when you are tired. Summer is also a time when kids are home, and perpetually hungry and tired after too much playing! So, you can turn to juices and other refreshing drinks to solve their sudden hunger problems in a healthy and jolly way.

Indeed, refreshing drinks are part and parcel of the summer scene! So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to take out the fruits and tall glasses. That’s the best way to stay cool this summer.

Happy Juicing!

Here is a fabulous juice, which combines the tang of tomatoes with that of lemons, to make a super refreshing glassful of Tomato Lemon Punch! A dash of cumin seeds powder and the right amount of sugar help to highlight the flavours of these fruits beautifully, making the juice even tastier.
