Ooh, the pink grapefruit and pomegranate soda is calling my name.
We love Ribena with Gerolsteiner sparkling mineral water, so good!
I've also had cucumbers sliced in a pitcher of ice water, that's really nice and refreshing. Polar orange dry is pretty in a pitcher and a great grown up soda. Whole foods has an awesome selection of fun sparkling beverages, too.
i really love a splash of ACV in a glass of flat or sparkling water. not too sweet, not too tart: perfect accompaniment to a meal (plus, ACV is great for digestion!)
I enjoy "agua de avena" that we used to drink in Costa Rica. It's like mexican horchata but made with oatmeal instead of rice. http://www.lacocinadeleslie.com/2010/10/agua-de-avena.html
Your timing as perfect as Summer has arrived 3 months early today in the Northeast. I cant wait to check these out.
They all sound great to me... I've been addicted to making milkshakes lately, with frozen yogurt or ice cream, I just had a mini-apple-pie milkshake for dessert (vanilla ice cream, TJ's Gravenstein apple juice, vanilla, Vietnamese cinnamon) and it's SO much easier than making the pie!
Very similar to a few that you suggested, I've been making honey lemonade from my friend's over-productive lemon tree! It's good with a shot of tequila or soaked with a sprig of rosemary.
Drinking vinegar! The tamarind is fantastic.

Limeade with soda water...so tasty! And if alcohol is in order than we just add vodka :)
I second drinking vinegar! I like to mix a shot of if with aloe vera juice. It's so tart and refreshing.
I love drinking Izze. It's not nearly as sweet as most sodas, and it's made with just fruit juice and carbonated water.
I also like elderflower soda, but I haven't been able to find any lately at the store. IKEA carries it as a syrup in their foods section; you can dilute yourself with regular water or sparkling water or whatever, and control the sweetness.
Last summer I survived on Joy the Baker's ginger syrup with mint and sparking water. I was planning on having it with bourbon but found out that the non-alcoholic version was quite addictive!
I can't drink alcohol so these drink ideas are perfect for me! I like rosemary iced tea and sliced strawberries and/or kiwis in water.
