You want drinks that quench your thirst, replenish electrolytes, and actually taste good. Here are four smart summer sips that do just that—no added junk, no sugar bombs.

1. Coconut Water with a Pinch of Salt
Nature’s sports drink. Coconut water is loaded with potassium and magnesium. Add a pinch of sea salt to replace sodium lost in sweat and turn it into a real hydration powerhouse—especially after workouts or hot days outside.
2. Cucumber-Mint Sparkling Water
Slice up cucumber and a few mint leaves, drop them in sparkling water, and chill. It’s cooling, refreshing, and gives you spa vibes without the price tag. Bonus: cucumber adds a little vitamin C and antioxidants.
3. Watermelon Electrolyte Slush
Blend fresh watermelon with a squeeze of lime and a tiny pinch of sea salt. That’s it. No added sugar needed. It’s sweet, hydrating, and naturally rich in water and potassium—perfect post-beach or post-gym.
4. Herbal Iced Teas (Unsweetened)
Try hibiscus, ginger, or rooibos over ice. These caffeine-free teas hydrate while delivering antioxidants and flavor. Add a splash of lemon or orange for an extra kick. No sweeteners required—let the herbs do the work.
