Five Citrus Coolers for a Hot Afternoon

When the sun is high, the best drink is cold, tart and easy to finish. These five citrus combinations are what we reach for.

1. Orange + lime

Our house favourite. Orange brings the sweetness, lime brings the snap, and fresh slices in the cup do the rest.

2. Lemon + mint

A classic that never gets old. Lightly crush the mint so it releases its oils, and add it just before serving.

3. Grapefruit + honey

Pleasantly bitter and rounded off with a spoon of honey. Best over a lot of ice.

4. Orange + green tea

Cooled green tea gives the juice a gentle, leafy backbone. Use unsweetened tea so the fruit can shine.

5. Lime + soda

The simplest of all: lime, a pinch of salt, plenty of ice and chilled soda water.
