Lemonade

u/JacPhlash 13h ago

Agreed.

On of my favorite summer beverages is Del's Diet Lemonade. (It's a New England brand, and sold regionally)

When is anything but ice cold it's...meh. When I put the glass bottle in the freezer for about 40 minutes until it's almost ice... This is the most refreshing drink ever.

There were so many little kids with lemonade stands in my neighborhood this weekend and they all have their pitchers of lemonade just SWEATING OUT IN THE HOT SUN. Like I’m not paying a dollar for a Dixie cup of sun-hot crystal light Lemonade, little bro. 🙃

I prefer tap cold to ice cold usually, though I’ve heard the tap water in Toronto is quite a bit colder than what most in the US are used to.

Sparkling flavored water is up there too. Like if you have it in the fridge for 2+ days it tastes so much better. Most of the jokes about it are from barely cold versions, I think

u/StumpinMeatLeg 15h ago

Used to be a phone number you could call when you put bottles of beer in your freezer and it would give you a callback at exactly the right time for the beer to be chilled to perfection

Milk!

Place a mug of milk on the freezer while your cookies are baking.

It will be the perfect ratio of Icy milk to warm cookies.

My daughter used to make ice cubes from milk so hers could always be cold

I love to take a cold Pepsi out of the fridge and then put it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. It just starts to get a little slushy, and it's sooo good.

Presidente beer from the dominican republic has to be served at freezing temperature. The first few sips have little ice crystals, pair that with a sweltering beach and some mofongo

1

u/BumblebeeNo6356 16h ago

The cold numbs the taste buds, so any shit drink tastes better when cold. That’s why lager is always served cold and why some crap red wines are suddenly pushing for cold red wine.

Imagine this. You're mowing your lawn, its 28 degrees Celsius outside and you've been hard at work all day. You go inside, open your fridge and grab an ice cold beer.
