I've cut out sodas almost completely and have been winding down my coffee consumption. What refreshing beverages are you folks drinking?

Water and fruit infusions are pretty much a given, but if you have something interesting please chime in anyway! I've been enjoying cucumber water, lemon/lime infusions, and making my own raspberry and blackberry water.

"Refreshing" doesn't necessarily mean "cold". I'm down for some hot drinks too - especially this time of year. My normal go-to is natural tea like chamomile or mint. There's gotta be more than those standards out there.

I don't drink alcohol but if you have some healthy-ish boozy drinks you like, bring them up for the other folks finding this post. I should note that carbonated things like beer fall into the "soda" category here so they are out.

Thanks everyone! Here's some cat tax.

I use a Soda Stream to make fizzy water, then squeeze some lemon or lime in it. It's so good!

I have one of those! I don't use it very often, so every time I go to grab a bottle for it, it's expired and getting brittle.

My husband and I occasionally drink Zipfizz. They’re good juice substitutes and have numerous flavors

I hadn't heard of that. Will check it out. Thank you!
PacNorthwest
Yup, and have great vitamins. Comes in powders and some how still has the fizz of soda. No problem!

Spruce beer. Like root beer but more christmas tree.

We've been on a smoothie kick lately! Tons of recipes online, you can add whatever you like almost. And they are a great snack!

I love ice water infused with cucumber and mint! So refreshing. Peppermint tea is my go-to in the winter.

Ooooh! I need to get me some peppermint! Good idea!

Ginger with your mint tea. Few slices of root ginger in there. Try it, thank me later.
badmonkey0001
I need to try that! Thank you!

Just Water. Preferably Cold.
badmonkey0001
Yep. As I said, that's a given. Nothing like a good clean glass of water going on.

"I've been enjoying cucumber...."

It's okay. Still solid advice. Stay hydrated!

Roibos earl grey tea with a dash of milk. It's so good

I've been making blueberry ginger vanilla protein shakes. Pretty damn tasty. And there is always a pitcher of cucumber water in the fridge
badmonkey0001
That does sound tasty!
