4. Light Beer: For those who enjoy beer, opt for light and refreshing styles such as pilsners, wheat beers, or session IPAs. These beers tend to have a lower alcohol content and are often more thirst-quenching, making them ideal for hot summer days.
5. Rosé Wine: Rosé wine has gained popularity as a summer staple due to its light, fruity, and often slightly chilled nature. It’s a versatile wine that pairs well with various dishes and can be enjoyed on its own or in a refreshing spritzer.
