In a hot climate like Costa Rica it’s important to stay hydrated - and it’s fun too! Here we had some fresh milk-shake style drinks made with blackberries (and a chocolate based one for my partner). Very necessary after a big walk through the cloud forest on a ‘feels like 40 degrees’ day.
There are a few good regional varieties too - the red Fanta was good as expected (we get that imported to the UK enough now that it’s not exciting!) but they did have some mandarin varieties of the orange drinks, which I guess makes sense. Didn’t see the Mexican drinks but we were a little too far away for that.
And for people like me that maybe forget to drink as much as they should there are electrolytes and rehydration
And boy are there more choices than in the UK! It was twice the price of the normal drinks so I only had the one on the day where I really needed it.
And if you are troubled by all the bitey insects then tonic water can help to keep them at bay - I couldn’t find my usuals so went for the Canada Dry which was a nice change.
But of course - there are plenty of fresh ingredients with electrolytes and bug repelling properties built in - so it’s much better to just keep having the smoothies and staying hydrated that way.
