What are the most popular local cold beverages in your country? I am not referring to sodas or alcoholic drinks.
In my country, the most popular cold beverages are lemonade, ginger beer, mauby and sorrel. Most people would be familiar with lemonade, ginger beer and sorrel, but mauby is a local drink that may not be well known elsewhere. It is made from the mauby bark which is quite bitter. It is a very good thirst quencher, but those who come to our island and taste this drink for the first time, do not have a liking for it because of the bitter taste. However, they get used to it after having it a few times. Lots of sugar is usually added to this drink, and if it has a lot of ice added, that makes for a very refreshing.drink.
Sorrel is very popular here too, but is mostly used at Christmas time, although we would drink it occasionally at other times of the year too. I cannot remember a Christmas that I did not have sorrel.
