    Which is your favorite natural summer drink? I love to drink coconut juice or watermelon juice. Lemonade is always a refreshing drink.. but my favorite would be coconut juice ( not coconut milk) any day. What is yours?

    One of my favourite refreshments during the summer would be iced lemon water with mint. It is made simply with lemon juice, water and crushed mint leaves and it is very refreshing. I like lemonade too but I prefer not to drink sugar.

    I love mint lemonade in the summer (like Bolt's suggestion, but with the sugar). I drink coconut water as well, but only if I'm working out or walking a lot.

    I'm a big fan of lemonade. That's what I usually drink, even if it's not summer. I also like to combine fruits to make it as smoothie. :D

    My favorite summer drink would have to be cranberry juice or a mixed juice with all berries. I find these types of drinks very refreshing especially if you add a few ice cubes to them.
    I always get tired of drinking water so juice is usually my next desire. I am also a fan of adding a little bit of fresh lemon or tangerines to my drinks because it gives that extra spice to it.
    I would really recommend drinking this!

    I would have to go with a nice ice cold beer for being my favorite summer drink, especially when we are having BBQ! On the occasions when I have to go with a non-alcoholic drink, then I would have some iced sun tea. We make our own sun tea throughout the summer and sometimes it seems like we are making it on a daily basis.

    I love melon drink! But my personal favorite of all time has to to be milky avocado shake! That's the best summer drink for me and I won't get tired of drinking it. I prepare them even when it's not summer though. :)

    I love to drink ice tea in the summer. Lemonade is my favorite too. When I was a kid, we had a lemon tree in our backyard. We had fresh lemonade everyday. It's one of my fondest memories as a child.

    I drink sparkling water with a slice of fresh lemon in it when I'm thirsty, but my favourite summer drink is cava - sparkling white Spanish wine - served chilled. Of course, I don't drink that too early in the day, otherwise I'd probably sleep through most of the summer, and that would be a real shame. ;)

    I really like all the natural drinks you mentioned especially watermelon juice. I also like making cantaloupe juice in the summertime. It's so refreshing and very sweet and tasty.

    My daughter and I drink a lot of iced tea during the summer because it's refreshing and thrifty. It costs about 20 cents a pitcher to make because I buy sugar in bulk and use the least expensive teabags they sell at Walmart.
    If I have some lemon or mint leaves, I throw that in too.

    For alcohol I love proper cider, ice cold. I live near France sometimes we visit Normandy just to bring back the cider. It is only 2 euros a bottle and the taste is amazing. Commercial cider just doesn't compare to the real thing.

    Sandra, I made mimosas week before last with freshly squeezed blood orange juice and Christalino. I'm not big on sparkling wines, but I do like some cava. The one I usually buy is Segura Viudas; it's a good one to make mimosas with :) In summer I like vinho verde (well, not just summer, lol).

    I always love drinking fruit shakes and juices during the summer. When I was younger, I used to go for sodas, but as I grew up I started preferring more natural drinks. I also tend to eat more ice cream too during the summer.
