I thought you meant when the fruit juice is hot, eg. mulled cider

Your body is craving for those electrolytes.
The only thing I crave when it's hot is water. Juice is tasty, but it is not thirst quenching or cooling. If I'm trying to cool off or hydrate, I don't want anything with sugar (or sugar substitutes) in it.
I do drink a lot of pineapple juice in most other situations, though. I love pineapple 🤤
Yeah, there are a lot of drinks that taste awesome, but nothing beats how absolutely refreshing water is.
Sugar helps you process the salts in things like gatorade. So if you're properly dehydrated go for the full sugar gatorade/powerade.
I really wanted to like coconut water but it all just tastes like salt to me lol
Have you ever had fresh coconut juice? Because it's so much better than whatever that liquid is that they put in pre-packaged coconut water sold in non-tropical countries.
Sadly coconuts do not grow where I live. Maybe one day I will get to try one fresh off the tree!
I grew up with a coconut tree in my house. I can even with supermarket coconut water.
But fun fact, frozen coconut water tastes salty. I'm not a whisky person but I was told they go perfect together. Just pour in an ice tray.
Well, sure. It’s usually thickened, has chunks of fruit in it, and preferably has a little pastry crust on it. My favorite warm juice is called “pie”.
(I have no problem with room temp (70-ish F) fruit juice, but I also often don’t care if beer or other beverages are room temp, too.)
No. I crave a colder location to live.
75f isn't very hot. That's 23c, there are many parts of the world where people would consider it very cold, and be bundling up sweaters.
You can acclimate, drink water and SALT! The salt is critical. It helps you regulate your own body temperature. You don't need the sugar.
I know you lose electrolytes through sweat, and it's probably pretty important to replace those one way or another, but I'm confused about salt helping you regulate your body temp. How does that work?
Your body moves water around using salt. Salt's just another word for electrolytes. When you're hot, you need more salt than you normally do. So drinking electrolyte water like Gatorade is good for you. But sugar is bad for you. So drinking salt water is much healthier than drinking sugar water with salt
If you don't have enough salts, you can't regulate your temperature as easily, and you might get mild forms of heat stroke.
Ah, moving around water using the salt makes sense. Thanks!
Pfff I wouldn't take off my jacket with 23
Now 40C that's a bit too much for me. I'd chill myself with a semi frozen beers
I think that's your body telling you that you have low blood sugar.
I've had powerful-but-temporary cravings for random specific beverages as long as I can remember. It's usually something unhealthy.
It's been various things like a particular brand of sweet tea, fruit punch, Gatorade, Dr. Pepper, all sorts of stupid sugary things. The craving will hit me hard. Sometimes I'll give into it for a while, and then I'll quit. Once in a while it's been a specific type of beer, but I'm not much of a booze drinker. The sodas are the worst, because they are so addictive, and the sodium in them makes you thirsty, and they are horrible for your health.
Trying to stick to nothing but water these days. I really hate it, but it is helping my 'lab numbers' when I go see the doc.
In winter i drink at least half of my water intake as tea on average. In winter you are rarely as thirsty as in summer when it‘s hot so it‘s nice to have some water with flavour. I highly reccomend brewing tea with loose leafs instead of bags because these en-masse fabricated tea bags just taste horrible in comparison
For a lemon, I like it hot. For other types of fruits, I would prefer it to be served cool.
Hot lemon??
Yes, hot lemon is ok for me. How about you?
Hydrohomie here, buckets of ice and carbonated water. Fruit juice is too much fructose for me, and it attracks wasps.
I just squeeze some lemon or lime juice into a large drinking glass and add carbonated water. Just a couple of drops of juice is enough, so one lemon or lime lasts a good while.
Ice cold coconut water is my drink of choice as well. No ice cubes, just straight from the fridge (ideally still within the coconut if accessible for you), else a bottled 100% one without additives.
Other juices don't really interest me, they are all too damn sweet.
no
I love cold coconut water when it’s hot. I believe it’s full of hydrating electrolytes and it’s not too sticky sweet.
So I get the appeal of coconut water when it’s hot, but not so much other fruit juices like pineapple, orange, grape, and apple. They’re just too sweet for me.
What do you think of cold coconut milk? Just as good shit, hopefully less sugar
Coconut milk is fuckin great, too. But it doesn't quench ya like coconut water does
How about cactus juice?
Not typically as most juices are super sweet. I have started to appreciate seltzer beers like White Claw on a hot day but typically carry water around with me 24/7
I do but in Australia all juices are actually Apple plus another fruit, and they're too sweet so they can't help with feeling thirsty. Supermarkets are just a few owners so it's all like that.
Then there's a store called boost that has pre mixed blends of fruit, and has half a dozen that doesn't have any Apple in it.
In Brazil they have these kinds of stores everywhere and it's fresh fruit so your juice has exactly the fruits you want in it. Plus you can tell how much sugar you want, because it's not pre mixed and frozen it's so much better.
Edit: most juices in Australia. Like the label says cranberry, nothing more, and the ingredients are 90% Apple 10% cranberries.
crave fruit juice all the time, it's tasty
Water or Gatorade. I know it’s marketing hype; I just love the taste of the orange flavor.
Yes! Particularly lemon and lime 🍋
Ah yes, drinking pure lemon and/or lime juice, so good.
