Favourite summer drink?

Alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
There are a gazillion and one different drink recipes on the net, but I'm asking about the ones you've personally tried and enjoyed!
Today it was Father's Day here, so I made a huge pitcher of cut up oranges, limes, and lemons, with tonic water. Oh and lots of ice, and vodka!
But it's still a good refreshing drink without the booze.
I guess! Kidding! It is!

I enjoy cold apple cider in hot weather - very refreshing.

Oh, my mum was a big fan of Pimms! I've never heard of others saying they were!

I've only tried cider a couple of times, and found it a bit acidic. Maybe I tried the bargain basement brands?!

I usually drink Tooheys New but if it is hot day and I might have to drive then a Hahns Light has to do.

Tooheys New?
This is what I remember from the late 1970s!

Lime cordial sainsburys do a nice one, cheaper than roses and less sugar.

Litre cartons of Blueberry Juice, - very refreshing - can't have alcohol very often anymore as it conflicts with my medications.

I have never liked Old beer, too sweet for me. When I first came to OZ in the 60s if you went to the pub they had two taps. - Old or New. It was 20 cents a schooner in those days.

Re: Favourite summer drink?

I too have to watch the drink because of tablets.

But I do love a glass of fresh orange juice with lemonade and ice cubes. Had a few glasses of this over the weekend and it was lovely.

Would still prefer a cold glass of lager though.
