What’s summer without some freshly cut watermelon to keep you hydrated? Absolutely nothing! That’s why What A Melon will be one of your favourite drinks this summer. Never concentrated, this flavoursome drink is created purely from watermelon water with just a splash of lemon. It argues to have more health benefits than its mainstream alternative, coconut water. How is this? As well as being super-hydrating, watermelon contains the disease-fighting antioxidant lycopene and the fatigue-fighting amino acid citrulline, which makes it the perfect drink for the transition from workout to summer BBQ.
In the mood to treat yourself? Jax’s coconut water looks after you around the clock. By day, it keeps you hydrated, by night it can be a great addition to your favourite mocktail. Supermarket shelves are packed with coconut water varieties but Jax proves to be a cut above the rest, sourced from volcanic regions of The Philippines and served up in chic glass bottles. Now in a sparkling form, this will make a great base for creating delicious, non-alcoholic concoctions!
Water can get dull – so give it some life! Offered in four different flavours, Zeo sparkling waters are all-natural, low in calories, flavoured with fruit with no added sugar. From their signature blend, Peach and Grapefruit, inspired by the famous Bellini cocktail, to the tangy and exotic taste of Sparkling Orange and Mango, these drinks are a tasty treat with none of the guilt.
Not all cacti have thorns. True Nopal is made of nutrient-rich prickly pear, which might sound difficult to swallow, but this makes for a refreshing and fruity summer drink. Cactus water is rich in antioxidants and electrolytes and as it contains around half the calories of coconut waters, you’ll be feeling great from within.
