4 DRINK HACKS TO KEEP YOUR BEVERAGE COOL
TESTIMONIALS
“I had surgery for arthritis in my big toe performed by Dr. Waldman years ago, and it turned out wonderful! When I saw that Milwaukee Foot & Ankle Specialists opened in Mequon, I was very pleased for the convenience. I now was experiencing pain in one of my other toes that was bothering me for quite some time. I made an appointment with Dr. Waldman, and he took care of it that very day. I should have made the appointment a long time ago! I am very pleased with Milwaukee Foot & Ankle Specialists and Dr. Waldman. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants happier feet!” - TimW. “After years of walking in pain, three different podiatrists, and six surgeries, I finally found Dr. Waldman. He didn’t just file the foot and put a Band-Aid on it. He found the cause of the pain, and after one surgery, I amwalking with no pain. I dusted off my treadmill, and I enjoy walking again. Thank you, Dr. Waldman!” - Mary H. “Dr. Meier provided exceptional care. Due to her accurate diagnosis and treatment, I am now pain-free. Thank you, Dr. Meier.” - Daniel K.
The sun is summer’s greatest ally — and greatest enemy. For every sun-soaked day at the beach, there are sunburns trying to ruin the party. With every excuse to drink an icy beverage, the sunshine’s more determined to keep the drink from staying cool.
These hacks will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the summer sun without the side effect of a warm beverage.
First, let’s say you just got home from the grocery store where you purchased a 12-pack of your favorite soda. You’re thirsty and it’s room temperature at best, right? Patience is a virtue, but there’s nothing wrong with accelerating the process. Fill a bowl with ice water and add a teaspoon of salt, then submerge a can of soda in the bowl. This process will cool your drink more than twice as fast as just putting it in the freezer. This other example requires less work, but it takes more freezer space. And if you’re like the rest of us, your freezer is pretty packed in the summer! Wet a paper towel and wrap it around a bottle or can before you place it in the freezer. The contents inside will cool much more quickly. If you have more time to plan, this hack will keep your drink cold for longer. Ice doesn’t fit in a bottle, and freezing your beer or other beverage will get you to Slushy Town in a hurry. Fill an empty bottle about halfway, put the cap on, and place it in the freezer on its side. When it’s frozen, pour your favorite beverage inside — the ice from top to bottom will keep the contents cool on the go. Bonus Hack: This has nothing to do with the sun, but is still a neat way to make drinking your beverage easier. If you go fancy and use a straw when you drink from a can, you know how hard it is to get the straw to stay put. Spin the can’s tab around and feed the straw through it. Now you’ll have a well-behaved straw that doesn’t shift around when you need it to be there for you.
The sun is hot, and the summer is long. You need the comfort of a cool beverage to help you get through it. Keep cool, wear sunscreen, and have fun!
