As temperatures rise, staying hydrated and refreshed becomes essential. Instead of reaching for sugary sodas, why not try some delicious, cooling summer drinks? From classic Indian favourites to exotic global blends, these drinks will help you beat the heat in style.
Nimbu Pani – The ultimate Indian cooler
A staple in Indian households, Nimbu Pani (lemonade) is simple yet effective. Just mix fresh lemon juice, chilled water, a pinch of salt, and sugar to taste. Add mint leaves for extra freshness and a dash of cumin powder for a desi twist!
Aam Panna – The king of summer drinks
Made from raw mangoes, Aam Panna is a tangy and sweet drink that not only quenches thirst but also prevents heat strokes. Blend boiled raw mango pulp with sugar, black salt, and mint leaves for a refreshing summer cooler.
Masala Chaas – The perfect digestive
Nothing soothes the stomach better than Masala Chaas (spiced buttermilk). A mix of curd, water, roasted cumin, black salt, and coriander makes this drink a summer essential. It aids digestion and keeps your body cool.
Tender Coconut Water – Nature’s energy drink
Straight from the coconut, this natural drink is packed with electrolytes and keeps dehydration at bay. It’s low in calories, high in nutrients, and perfect for a quick energy boost.
Exotic twists: Watermelon slush & Berry coolers
For a modern twist, try a Watermelon Slush—blend watermelon cubes with ice and a squeeze of lime for a super refreshing treat. Or go for a Berry Cooler, mixing strawberries, blueberries, and yoghurt for a creamy, antioxidant-rich delight.
Whether you prefer a traditional Indian favourite or a fruity international blend, these drinks will keep you cool and refreshed all summer long!
