Minor heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest. Simultaneously, YouTube suggested two videos for me with beverage ideas: James May rating various brands/flavors of "squash" (diluted fruit juices) and a Vietnamese girl living in Germany sharing apple juice with bubbly water.

So I had to try the 1/3 cider + 2/3 bubbly water: it's every bit as refreshing as advertised.

Tasty, not sweet, bubbly. Highly Recommended!
