you can also try a lemon drop(right name?) (equal parts gin and lemon juice) or a gin and tonic, both are "summer" type drinks. and good beer. but nothing to dark. dark beers need real food, which isn't very refreshing on a hot day.
there is no truly refreshing drink on a hot summer day that has no alcohol.
Couldn't stand it in the US, can't order a Caesar. Waiters give you this weird look like you have something oozing out of your nose. Next time I'm down there, I'm bringing a cooler full of Clamato.

ok, murray... clam juice, crab juice... all disgusting.
for all seasons, i always have a few quarts of iced tea chillin in my fridge (the fake kind, with powder + water). its really good, and if u add enough of the mix u can have that sugar rush for minutes at a time.
but, on a particularly hot summer day (or any day where i happen to have a working stomach and atleast a partial liver), Guinness is good. I had a really good cider the other day, I don't remember what it was called though, with a lemony taste. That'd probably hit the spot just right on a hot day.
You know, I saw some clam juice in the grocery store the other day....it was in a little glass bottle. It looked just like something you'd get out of the cooler at a convenience store. All I could think about was running off a fake label from a laser copier and sticking it onto the bottle then dropping it into a cooler at a party....man that'd be a mean joke. Don't do it though! You never know who has seafood allergies!!!

What chases your taste buds drink wise that is ?

why does it have to be non-alcoholic? pray tell.
because on a hot day i always think back to my gin and lemonade drinking days. (drink to me, drink to my health, you know i don't drink anymore)
not just any lemonade, paul newman's lemonade.
any decent gin will do, although not bombay, don't ask me why, it just tastes weird.
or bloody mary.

Extra chilled Smirnoff Ice. I eat nachos with it, and the chips absorb all the alcohol.
Murbot,
" Chips that absorb all the alcohol "

Wow drink yourself stoopid and all you have to do to sober up instantly is eat some nachos...
Pure Genius

Ok. Given some of the nice drinks I've seen posted, I'll accept alcoholic ones too.
( I originally thought not to post alcoholic ones coz we'd done the boozy list a little while ago. especially beers.)
But since you mention Gin..well that is my favourite.
Gordon's Gin with a dash of Indian bitter tonic water, slices of lime & lemon with an island of cracked ice.
I heard somewhere that Gin is bad for the brain..but hells bells its too nice...
as i feel i'm conjuring tennessee williams ghost i'm going to bed.
