I’ve been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I’ve been craving it like crazy and realized that it’s straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.
I just squeeze some lemon or lime juice into a large drinking glass and add carbonated water. Just a couple of drops of juice is enough, so one lemon or lime lasts a good while.
I do but in Australia all juices are actually Apple plus another fruit, and they’re too sweet so they can’t help with feeling thirsty. Supermarkets are just a few owners so it’s all like that.
Then there’s a store called boost that has pre mixed blends of fruit, and has half a dozen that doesn’t have any Apple in it.
In Brazil they have these kinds of stores everywhere and it’s fresh fruit so your juice has exactly the fruits you want in it. Plus you can tell how much sugar you want, because it’s not pre mixed and frozen it’s so much better.
Edit: most juices in Australia. Like the label says cranberry, nothing more, and the ingredients are 90% Apple 10% cranberries.
The only thing I crave when it’s hot is water. Juice is tasty, but it is not thirst quenching or cooling. If I’m trying to cool off or hydrate, I don’t want anything with sugar (or sugar substitutes) in it.
I do drink a lot of pineapple juice in most other situations, though. I love pineapple 🤤
Not typically as most juices are super sweet. I have started to appreciate seltzer beers like White Claw on a hot day but typically carry water around with me 24/7
Ice cold coconut water is my drink of choice as well. No ice cubes, just straight from the fridge (ideally still within the coconut if accessible for you), else a bottled 100% one without additives.
Other juices don’t really interest me, they are all too damn sweet.
