Pool Day

I’m having a pool day tomorrow and picked up all sorts of fun mocktails to drink (one is a mint and cucumber flavored jicama water). I was worried pool day wouldn’t be the same with White Claw and whatnot. However, I’ve recently realized it doesn’t matter what you’re drinking at the pool, if it’s flavored and ice cold, it tastes amazing. It certainly doesn’t have to be an alcoholic drink! That’s just years of alcohol marketing manipulation.

Kombucha is my favorite pool drink now. It’s a good sipper. I can drink that without worrying I’ll drown to death. So that’s nice.

Sounds like you will have a great day! Enjoy!

i get you on the “alcohol marketing manipulation”. like they run advertising for beer but a commercial for cigarettes is banned. ugh like come on!!!! they want us drinking poison. they want us docile and compliant.
Hit me up in my DMs if u wanna chat more about this kinda stuff lol(^^)/
:v:

on another note: some yummy refreshing drinks, i live in AZ so i know what i’m talking about lol I bought a blender but the cup it blends in like is a cup and i just have to screw in a lid and bam smoothie !! it’s so cheap too. I’ll get frozen avocado to add nutrients, frozen strawberries, frozen mangos, raspberry yogurt, and the secret ingredient is Sunny D. (the sunny d is better than orange juice cos it’s a little more tangy but it also tastes just like jamba juice !!!)

I definitely need some ideas of cool refreshing drinks please!

Looks like they sell it at the grocery store right by me! I’ll check it out.

You’re right, that is weird alcohol commercials are shown but not tobacco ones. Let’s definitely talk about the manipulation sometime!

Do you live near a Sprouts grocery store? That’s where I got all my drinks.

Unfortunately I don’t

Occasionally social events involve a bar. I order ginger beer (like root beer, non-alcoholic) with lime and it looks like an alcoholic drink and tastes awesome.

I like the ginger-citrus sparkling water from Waterloo.

Check out Whole Foods or any other health food grocery store. You should be able to find a lot of non-alcoholic drinks there that you can’t at the more normal grocery stores.

Tonite I cut up watermelon and out fresh mint leaves in water in a mason jar. Put it in the frig for a bit and then added ice. It was delicious!!
