It’s a hot summer afternoon. I’m sitting down on a hot afternoon, with a burger, and a cold beer.

What I’m looking for is something to replace that cold beer with. I want it to be crisp and fresh, but also not sweet. I love tart and bitter flavours. Unfortunately, my options are either cold and sweet, cold and alcoholic or hot and non sweet.

So threadiverse, what alternatives am I missing?

Tereré is great, but it’s a bit of a pain to source in Australia. What else is there?

      Would also highly recommend kombucha.

      Cold, fizzy, relatively healthy as it’s mostly tea by default with probiotics, and you can change up the flavor. The default is kinda tart and vinegary, but then you add (or buy) fruit or herb flavors and you can really find what you personally love.

      This. There’s a passion fruit and hop kombucha that is great for me. I don’t drink during the week and that’s my go to ‘treat’.

      I mainlt drink carbonized water with a bit of citron juice.
