Drinks for Sunny Days

Vittel Menthe: Mineral water with mint syrup. Although the name references the brand, Vittel, any type of bottled still water may be served. As with the diabolo, you can change the syrup based on your preference, although for some reason, mint remains the most popular for this drink.

L’Indienne: Orange soda (usually Orangina) and grenadine syrup.

Lait Fraise: Cold milk and strawberry syrup. There is also lait menthe: cold milk and mint syrup.

Citron pressé: A half-filled glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice accompanied by a carafe of tap water and handful of sugar packets, so that you may stir in the desired amounts yourself. There’s also orange pressé, which is, as the name implies, orange juice. Most people drink the orange juice and then enjoy a second glass of orange-flavored tap water with the remnants.
