Your go to thirst quencher

[EFC1996]

Apologies if this is random but what’s your go to refreshing drink. I’m talking about the drink you have when it’s Saturday night/Sunday, you’re bored of the same drink and your mouth tastes like a flip flop. When you just need a proper thirst quencher. Alcoholic or non-alcoholic 

[stuartbert two hats]

Probably a pint of whatever the fizzy alcoholic apple juice is. It's not good, but sometimes it just hits the spot.

I've no idea what the stall was called, but during that ridiculous heat on the Saturday afternoon I stumbled across a cordial stall somewhere near the T&C, and the blackcurrant cordial was ice cold and simply divine! Water wasn't cutting it, cider was going down far too quickly and not quenching the thirst, but that glass of cordial was like nectar.

I feel like this should be in the controversial thread... not sure if it's happened at Glastonbury but a few times a can of Hooch has brought me back into the game.

In fact, a few eFesters have actually seen the healing power of the lemon nectar on me..!!

I have to agree here, a can of hooch has sorted me out the day after a couple of times before. A mate in work recommended it i was hasty at first but it hit the spot to be fair

If we're talking retro and controversial, then a bottle of ice cold Reef would be perfect! Alas I've never seen it for years, and doubt they do/did a plastic bottle version. 😞

Good old H2O is amazing to freshen you up ready for the next big one

[Huckleberry Finn]

Mrs Finn swears by the frozen cocktails at Bimble Inn.

My favourite is the freshly made juice stall on the main road past West Holts. Lovely man, whose name escapes me, runs it.

[Simsy]

Watermelon from soup-a-juice or an iced tea from bird and blend.

Or something from the cocktail bar with the birdcage.

[Punksnotdead]

Spiced rum and ginger beer with a dash of lime juice and plenty of ice.

[balti-pie]

The little fresh lemonade geezer who was in West Holts by the side of La grande bouffe - wasn’t there in 2019, annoyingly, but he made amazing fresh fruit drinks primarily involving three squeezed lemons, and my favourite version had coconut milk as well - it was a wonderful hangover cure, and also lovely with a good tot of rum as well

I used to bloody love a bottle of Reef! Must be at least 20 years since I’ve seen one.

The beat hotel cocktails were always a nice treat

Just had horrible flash back of Rosie's night club in Chester..... After drinking stupid amounts of shit Carling we'd go onto Two Dogs 🤮🤮🤮

[Hugh Jass II]

I rather like the Hooch call. Need to remember to pick up some cans.

This. I usually go for the lemonberry at least once every year, which has the addition of blended strawberries. I vaguely recall seeing the stall in 2019 but it possibly moved.

[clarkete]

Stop this talk of hooch you filthy blighters, I may throw up on my mouth. 

Water, tea, cocktails, fizz from the wine bar or G&T. Everything else can s0d off 😊

This. Tremendous pick me up. Then back on the Festival Strength Brothers.

[Badlands]

Pear Gaymers back in the day I thought was refreshing. Also liked when Thatchers were doing the ciders a few years back.

The frozen margaritas during the past few scorching years have been tremendous

Not a thirst quencher at all, but a milkshake full of rum has restarted my engine on many an occasion! (kinder bueno works rather well). Most festivals I've been to just make the milkshake and then you add your own rum, Glasto being as it is, I hand over the rum, they make a batch for all of us and one for themselves. Either that or a white Russian (might need to call them something else this year!)....we usually bring pre-mixed vodka and Kahlua for the eventual point in the evening (or morning) that it's required. Excellent for breakfast with ice cold milk from the tractor!

[Ayrshire Chris]

ice cold Irn Bru, accept no substitutes.  And the full fat version, none of this diet nonsense

I drink like a man who hates his liver, but White Russians for breakfast? That’s fucking hardcore. I doff my cap.
