summer cooler

Hot-weather cold drink

A summer cooler is a refreshing cold beverage meant to beat the heat—typically fruit-based drinks, iced teas, lemonades, or cocktails served chilled: We mixed up a pitcher of summer cooler for the barbecue.

The term suggests something light and thirst-quenching rather than heavy or warming.
