Non-alcoholic summer cocktails. Refreshing summer drinks

In the summer you always feel thirsty, and this is quite normal, because with sweat in the heat we lose up to a liter of fluid per hour! Many go the usual way and buy lemonades and other carbonated drinks, which - alas! - do not always bring the desired relief. And we again go to the store for another bottle of carbonated joy ...

In order to break this vicious circle, wise hostesses prepare refreshing drinks that bring real, not imaginary, relief. Along with old, centuries-old recipes, they invent new recipes for refreshing drinks, some of which the Culinary Eden website brings to your attention. For the preparation of refreshing drinks, it is better to use not ordinary sugar, but fructose - there will be incomparably more benefits. For more cooling of the drink, prepare an unusual fruit ice: freeze fruit juice in ice molds and add it to glasses with drinks. It will add extra flavor to your summer cocktails. If your family loves compotes of their dried fruits, do not boil them as usual, but pour boiling water and insist in a thermos. Cook fruit drinks more often - thanks to natural juices, all vitamins are preserved in them. And if the heat has driven you to the store, and you want to freshen up immediately, buy a bottle of tonic - it is believed that it is the bitter taste that cools the best (and not sour, as many people think).

Summer tonic cocktails

1. Lemon Twist. Invented in the French city of Strasbourg, this cocktail combines fruits and vegetables in a wonderful way. In addition to fresh celery, beetroot pulp and a lemon wedge for garnish, there is also room for lemon juice, apple juice, and non-alcoholic Tourtel brand beer.

2. Aojiru. This drink has a green color, which is logical based on the fact that its main ingredient is cabbage juice. It is not very tasty, as they say "an amateur", but it is very, very useful.

3. Punch "Plantator". This invention is also quite dietary, so it is very popular among women all over the world. It has the most carrot juice, but there are also pineapple and tangerine juices. In addition, the punch contains strawberries, which must first be marinated in pepper. And all this is diluted with special Evian water.

4. Lassi. If you are in an atmosphere of high temperature and significant humidity, not being able to acclimatize for a long time, then lassi will help you with this. It consists of water and yogurt.

Further preparation depends on whether you are a fan of sweet drinks or prefer a more spicy taste. You can add honey and sugar, or use salt.

5.Ovaltine. A drink with such a pleasant ear name combines malt and an egg. They are replaced with coffee drinks with the effect of "3 in 1". That is, in the evening this is the thing if you suffer from insomnia. Currently, to prepare ovaltin, you just need to get the powder prepared by the manufacturers and pour it with milk. And the temperature of the milk does not matter.

6. Mate. This product is much more tonic than coffee, which we used to consume daily. But its disadvantage is that the holly tree, from the leaves and stems of which mate is brewed, grows only in Latin America.

But if you travel there, be sure to order this particular cocktail from the bartenders, which is served in pumpkin pots. You will not regret!

Enjoy your summer to the accompaniment of refreshing and tonic drinks!
