What's your favourite tipple in Hot weather?

[Christina]

Tea, pop and cider for me the latter depending on money :O

[lionwing]

A nice pot of tea made with leaves (not nasty bags) - I blend an Earl Grey and Assam mix - and freshly boiled water.

Proper brew...good on ya!

[FeelixTC]

Coffee first thing, then Vimto diluted with fizzy water and ice during the day.

Now, when it comes to 'adult time' I do, and always have liked a Guinness. Normally, at home, I drink draught cans which have been kept at cellar temparature, just 'cool'.
If I'm out, then inevitably I will spend the whole evening moaning about 'Extra Cold' Guinness, as it's all you ever seem to get and it spoils it for me.
However, in this recent heat, 'cool' Guinness just doesnt work, so I have been drinking Guinness Original instead and adding ice.

Makes two things; a most refreshing bevarage and, me a hypocrite!

Hi

Well when I can't get tap water (HA Ha) its got to be home brewed bitter beer shandy made with Aldi cheapo diet lemonade (which tastes surprisingly like Shss!! You Know Who's - not the Harry Potter One!!)

I cool the beer with ice cubes as that is just kept at a cool in the shade temperature for flavour as a beer then dilute with cooled pop from the fridge. Cost less than 70p per pint - and I use expensive home brew kits!! And I can vary how alcoholic it is.

Marvelous!

Cheers

I'm with you there, you can't beat it.

I'm quite surprised at the popularity of Earl Grey tea, to me it tastes like how I'd imagine normal tea with a handful of topsoil thrown in and a squirt of toilet duck

In that case you have not had proper Earl Grey tea, should never be drunk with milk and never stewed otherwise all the delicate flavour and fragrance are swamped.  Bet made with loose leaf tea in a proper china tea pot.  I don't have it with a slice of lemon but a lot of people do.

I'll throw my cup into the ring for Earl Grey too

No milk, sugar or lemon thank you.

I must remember to build a mug shelf into my fiddle yard to keep it away from the trains!
