Sugarcane Juice
Imagine a drink that quenches your thirst and instantly recharges your poor sweating body! That's a glass of natural sugarcane juice. Sip on to it after splashing in the Goan waters or in the breaks between your beach volleyball matches. You can get a glass of this juice just from any "thellas" or roadside stalls. Then immerse yourself in its soothing yellowish-green colour and its divine sweetness!
Coconut Water
Want to have a taste of nature right after you get off your flight? Then have Goan natural coconut water. It's the right drink to rejuvenate your body and mind while you take in a view of the sea. You'll find countless local vendors selling it. Some of them adorn the hardcover of coconuts and the straw in a fancy way. Just dip your straw into the husk of that lovely green coconut. Then sip on! Just like manure, butter and oil made from coconut, its water also comes with great health benefits. You can instantly feel its healing powers!
Sol Kadhi
Did you just savour some fiery seafood and rice by the beach? Then time to cool down the digestive system and fight any acidity with this refreshing drink. Sol Kadhi has a wonderful combination of spicy, sour and sweet flavours. Of course! After all, it's made coconut milk mixed with Amasol or Kokum. After your Goa flight lands, don't miss this evergreen authentic concoction, especially in the summer.
Lime Soda or Lemonade
Finally, waiting for a drink that'll dissolve away all the week's hangover? Then grab a glass of this traditional drink in Goa. Watch as the vendor squeezes a fresh lime into chilled water, sprinkles some salt and sugar, tops with sparkling soda water, drops some ice cubes, and decorates with fresh mint. As the lemonade descends your throat, feel all your dehydration disappearing in a snap. End the tour day on the beach with a good burp!
When you book a flight ticket back home, plan to tell your homies what a blast you had in Goa with those awesome drinks!
