Summertime favorite coolants?

General
When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down. Preferrably with life still inside.
As title implies, what refreshments do you people like to drink during these unbearably hot days? We all know plain water ain't cutting it, so we all reach for those sweet-ass drinks, carbonated or not. List your favorites! As for me...
Carbonated:
-plain Coca-Cola, as long as it's original and not some offshoot brand
-Fanta, either Orange or Shokata (lemon and elderflower flavor)
-Schweppes Tonic Water or Mojito
-Guarana (very rarely though, only when I feel groggy since these are full of caffeine and sugar)
-Gineta (local drink, juniper flavored)
Non-carbonated:
-mostly homemade stuff when we have enough fruit for it, like lemons, oranges etc. On some occasions, I go for cranberry or blueberry juice

FA+

-Coca-Cola and rum with a cherry in it. By far my most favorite summer drink, I would happily get wasted on this stuff if I could.
-Cheerwine is some local/regional cherry-flavored coke-tasting stuff. Really good since I love cherry-flavored coke.
-Iced sweet tea, because I'm in the South, darnit, I'm going to enjoy tea with so much sugar in it, it's like I'm drinking syrup!
-Lemonade, especially when mixed 50/50 with iced sweet tea.
Seriously. That's all. XD
- lipton green tea with citrus (have one of those gallon jugs and just sip on it all day xP)
- sunkist or fanta orange (rarely, when i'm in the mood)
- diet coke with lime (taken to drinking this lately)
- ocean spray citrus mango pineapple juice
- and purified water (get it delivered from culligan water company, cause the tap water around here tastes like its from a public pool xP )
