Man...it was a hot and humid day in NY...and its not even Summer yet.

With that in mind....I'm curious to know what others drink to cool off....besides water - beer- or wine. Thanks.....

Although it's far from hot here, I have been enjoying these lately

 Chris... you know damned well that anything that contains alcohol just raises your body temperature. I doubt you'll get any thumbs up for beer, wine, etc. On a hot day nothing beats just plain water and ice.

I know about alcohol Frank... ....but I can't stand "plain water"...I see enough water every day...I need to hear about something different....and non - alcoholic.

.....Raises body temperature......  sounds like a mild fever.  Wouldn't that make one feel cooler?   

I like brewed herbal teas on hot days.  green tea, peppermint and chai spices (cinnamon, cardamom, etc) make a FANTASTIC mix, with a touch of honey for sweetness.  A great way to brew it is in a large 1-gal jar in the sun for 2-3 hours.  remove the bags, stir in the honey, and chill till evening!   

If you like rum drinks, mojitos are always a welcome touch on a hot day.  -oops, didn't see the non-alcoholic comment.  see above

Oops, I see you mentioned Non alcoholic. My vote goes for plain old water then...

[mjosef]

Dunno 'bout that...but when I get home and its this hot...a nice ice cold beer is the ticket. Followed by a big mug of room-temperature water.

Hey, there always those...non-alcoholic beers  aa aa

Paul K. turned me on to a cool drink last time I was up to NYC... Thai coffee.  Iced coffee with a dash or so of sweetened evaporated milk, very creamy!  Not unlike a shake or... a mud slide

 Well Chris...I have just nominated myself as your unauthorized counselor. For starters, to pull yourself through the hot summer days you'll have to pose with loudspeakers holding a bottle of..............................GASP... ....................................... ...Perrier!

Hey!

    Yes, there is a Thai coffee. Think of it as a sweeten condensed robusta type coffee.

   You could actually buy a bottle of this and all you have to do is to add evaporated or regular milk.

    Maybe I will bring a bottle along with me to the next Rave... if I made it of course

Take care,
Buddy

No, we had it at a Thai restaurant a few blocks from the house... can't recall the name of course but, it was a second floor place with huge windows on two sides.  Maybe you've been?

[mjosef]

Yeap..I think I ate there once or twice...not the best Thai...

[yooper]

Me like these..... a lot!    If your out and about and pass a Tim Horton's, get yourself an Iced Cappuccino.

Hot sunny days are the best days to make the best drink to combat it - Sun Tea.

...or the worst drink to combat it - BEER. 

Actually, one thing I've been into is iced tea made with jasmin green tea, lime juice and honey.

[bpape]

Like the Jasmine and maybe a touch of lemon or lime.  If you want to 'brisk' it up a little more, try a couple mint leaves in the water when you set it out to brew.
