EFC1996 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Probably a pint of whatever the fizzy alcoholic apple juice is. It's not good, but sometimes it just hits the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theciderviking Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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.

vintagelaureate Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate in work recommended it i was hasty at first but it hit the spot to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas I've never seen it for years, and doubt they do/did a plastic bottle version. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Finn Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simsy Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Watermelon from soup-a-juice or an iced tea from bird and blend. Or something from the cocktail bar with the birdcage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punksnotdead Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Spiced rum and ginger beer with a dash of lime juice and plenty of ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Pear Gaymers back in the day I thought was refreshing. Also liked when Thatchers were doing the ciders a few years back.

Toilet Duck Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
