Cool Summer Drinks

There are lots of new, cool, fruity drinks around that seem perfect for a summer day and make enthusiastic claims to improve health. First is Adez, advertised in every tube and bus shelter in town. It contains a blend of fruit juices, soya protein and essential nutrients including vitamins C and B6, magnesium and calcium. When you drink a glass of it, you are getting close to 40% of these daily requirements—and calcium equal to a glass of milk. With combination flavours like orange and peach, and mango and apricot, how can it be bad? Then there is Cricket Cola, a fizzy drink, made from real kola nuts and green tea and pure cane sugar. It purports to reduce heart disease, strokes, prevent cancer, and make you calm. Grove Fresh Organic juices are made from 100% pure, certified organic, fruits and vegetables, using fresh fruit grown naturally in environmentally friendly agriculture, avoiding pesticides, fertilisers, herbicides or fungicides. They do an organic tomato and vegetable juice that could make up a killer Bloody Mary. Especially if you use UK5, UK-produced, Soil Association-certified and award-winning vodka. UK5 is made from the world's purest water and finest organic grain and could be the cleanest and purest tasting vodka around. Cheers!
