Refreshing cocktails

Cocktails not only provide a refreshing taste, but also help replenish lost fluids and keep you cool. Cocktails are often thought of as unhealthy because they are full of sugar. However, there are some cocktails that can actually be good for you.

For example, a “Moscow Mule" is made with ginger, which is known to be good for your digestion. Other cocktails, like the ”Pina Colada“, are made with fruit, which means they contain vitamins and minerals.

So, while you should still be careful about how many cocktails you drink, you can rest assured that you are getting some nutrients from them while also quenching your thirst.

Craft beer

One thing I have noticed about beer lovers is that when the temperatures climb, their preferences in beer styles start to lean towards light beers with lower alcohol content. Crisp pilsners and refreshing sours signal the return of warm weather and summer fun.

Beer experts reveal that the perfect hot-weather beer is crushable, which means it is easy to drink, and the alcohol percentage (ABV) is low enough that you do not have to feel bad about having seconds or thirds.

I can also note that a good spring-summer beer should be well balanced and thirst quenching. If you are a fan of craft beer, take a cab to your favourite pub this season and elevate your taste buds.

But remember to consume in moderation.
