Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Of course, I'm not talking about the ways you try to keep cool in general, such as cranking the AC, jumping into a pool, or going to the beach. I'm talking about liquid refreshment.
There are many schools of thought on this. My mom used to drink hot coffee in June, July, and August, going by the old theory that drinking hot liquids in hot months actually cools you down. I myself like iced tea and ice cold water during the summer, with some diet soda and icy Ocean Spray Light Ruby Red here and there too. Others seem to like beer and cocktails, though I really doubt their effectiveness (beyond the initial hit of cold liquid going down).
After the jump, give us your liquid solutions for the summer. Besides the drinks above, I'm thinking about asking the owner of the liquor store down the street if I can live in his giant walk in fridge for the summer..

Not sweet, no calories, no caffeine (so you'll be nicely hydrated), no artifical stuff at all. Just water infused with organic culinary herbs. It comes in six flavors and, of course, they're wonderful cold: Jasmine Vanilla, Cinnamon Orange Peel, Lavendar Mint Lemongrass Thyme, Ginger Lemon Peel, Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon & Lemongrass Mint Vanilla.

I hope you took the time to read my response to your other post, but I get the impression you don't read the comments very often.

1. Chilled water with slices of lemon, lime, and fresh mint. Or substitute cucumber for the mint.
2. Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat with a slice of orange.
