I’ve been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I’ve been craving it like crazy and realized that it’s straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.
Not typically as most juices are super sweet. I have started to appreciate seltzer beers like White Claw on a hot day but typically carry water around with me 24/7

What do you think of cold coconut milk? Just as good shit, hopefully less sugar
Coconut milk is fuckin great, too. But it doesn’t quench ya like coconut water does
How about cactus juice?
I do but in Australia all juices are actually Apple plus another fruit, and they’re too sweet so they can’t help with feeling thirsty. Supermarkets are just a few owners so it’s all like that.
Then there’s a store called boost that has pre mixed blends of fruit, and has half a dozen that doesn’t have any Apple in it.
In Brazil they have these kinds of stores everywhere and it’s fresh fruit so your juice has exactly the fruits you want in it. Plus you can tell how much sugar you want, because it’s not pre mixed and frozen it’s so much better.
Edit: most juices in Australia. Like the label says cranberry, nothing more, and the ingredients are 90% Apple 10% cranberries.
Your body is craving for those electrolytes.
I love cold coconut water when it’s hot. I believe it’s full of hydrating electrolytes and it’s not too sticky sweet.
So I get the appeal of coconut water when it’s hot, but not so much other fruit juices like pineapple, orange, grape, and apple. They’re just too sweet for me.
Hydrohomie here, buckets of ice and carbonated water. Fruit juice is too much fructose for me, and it attracks wasps.
I just squeeze some lemon or lime juice into a large drinking glass and add carbonated water. Just a couple of drops of juice is enough, so one lemon or lime lasts a good while.
For a lemon, I like it hot. For other types of fruits, I would prefer it to be served cool.
Hot lemon??
Yes, hot lemon is ok for me. How about you?
The only thing I crave when it’s hot is water. Juice is tasty, but it is not thirst quenching or cooling. If I’m trying to cool off or hydrate, I don’t want anything with sugar (or sugar substitutes) in it.
I do drink a lot of pineapple juice in most other situations, though. I love pineapple 🤤
Yeah, there are a lot of drinks that taste awesome, but nothing beats how absolutely refreshing water is.
Sugar helps you process the salts in things like gatorade. So if you’re properly dehydrated go for the full sugar gatorade/powerade.
Well, sure. It’s usually thickened, has chunks of fruit in it, and preferably has a little pastry crust on it. My favorite warm juice is called “pie”.
(I have no problem with room temp (70-ish F) fruit juice, but I also often don’t care if beer or other beverages are room temp, too.)
No. I crave a colder location to live.
no
Water or Gatorade. I know it’s marketing hype; I just love the taste of the orange flavor.
I really wanted to like coconut water but it all just tastes like salt to me lol
Have you ever had fresh coconut juice? Because it’s so much better than whatever that liquid is that they put in pre-packaged coconut water sold in non-tropical countries.
I grew up with a coconut tree in my house. I can even with supermarket coconut water.
But fun fact, frozen coconut water tastes salty. I’m not a whisky person but I was told they go perfect together. Just pour in an ice tray.
Sadly coconuts do not grow where I live. Maybe one day I will get to try one fresh off the tree!
Yes! Particularly lemon and lime 🍋
Ah yes, drinking pure lemon and/or lime juice, so good.
