Summer brings many activities that can only be enjoyed during this season. Spending time outside contributes not only to our well-being, but also facilitates bonding with others. We are social beings.

Many of us may miss having a drink with a friend at a cafe or patio this year. Fortunately, we can still enjoy the warm weather by spending time at a beach or in our own backyard. When the temperatures rise, staying hydrated is important whether you’re playing sports or just sitting in the sun.

Here’s a list of 10 drinks that can lift your sunny days whether you spend them outside or at home.

1) coconut water
2) infused water (with fruits)
3) carbonated water
4) kombucha tea
5) herbal tea
6) ice coffee                                
7) smoothies
8) home-made juices
9) ice tea
10) milkshake (with nut milk or rice milk)

Enjoy your drinks!
