I have lots of beverages that I like. If it comes to soda, then I love Mountain Dew. But my favorite beverage would probably have to be iced sweet tea. I really love McDonald's Sweet Tea. It's the best! What's your favorite beverage?

You have named 2 of my favorites. I normally drink Coke Zero though. I have been drinking some home brewed sweet tea all week this week. It is really good. The secret is to put a pinch of baking soda in the water while it comes to a boil and then do everything else as normal.

It takes out any bitterness in the tea and it also makes the tea darker. I think it looks better in the glass and it tastes better.

I'll have to try the baking soda. What exactly does it do for the tea? Happy MyLotting!

Coffee is good, but I can't drink it black. I have to have milk and sugar in mine. Thanks for the comment! Happy MyLotting!

My favorite is definitely diet coke, but I also really love rootbeer and orange soda. Also, I really like milkshakes, that's not so much a beverage I guess, but it's a drink. So yea. Most the time lately I drink either Diet Coke or water with orange flavored drink mix, just because I have trouble drinking water by itself, so the flavor really helps me drink it!

Yeah, I use those drink mixes too for my water sometimes. I love the grape flavor. Happy MyLotting!

My favorite two beverages are water and sweet tea. I drink water allllllll the time and sweet tea when I go out to eat. I used to drink a lot of soda but realized it's not all that healthy for you. So I quit that and started drinking lots of water.

Put discussions like this in a "beverages" interest or something, k? Anyway, my favorite beverage is Sprite. It gives me a weird burst of energy for about two minutes and has no side effects. Plus, I like the taste. I made a music video about it on YouTube.

Recently found that I like Coke Zero much more than Coca-Cola Classic and it is much better for you. Bubba Gumps has this awesome strawberry lemonade which is my absolute favorite of all time.

Yummy! Iced tea with lemon flavor or peaches flavor is my favorite drink too! I also love salted Lassi - that's an Indian drink made with a mixture of yoghurt and water with fresh mint leaf seasoning and salt and pepper and a lot of other stuff -could be basil leaf, rosemary, etc... all thrown together and mixed in in a home mixer/blender. It has a real cooling effect on the body and I gulp it by the glass full in summer. Among the soft drinks I like anything that has some fruit in it, especially litchi.

I am going through a stage at the moment where as the only cold drink that I want or can handle is sparkling mineral water and the kids think I'm mad coz they don't like it and I tell them there is method in my madness because now when ever I go to the fridge there is a bottle in there because they wont drink so for once i never miss out I have something that is mine .... hahahaha but I guess only other mum's would understand this :) Also I love HOT CHOCOLATE with whipped cream and chocolate dripping over the top....yummmmmmmmmmm but has to be very cold for that which at the moment it is freezing here in OZ!

Oh wow, I bet that hot chocolate is awesome on a cold winter's day. I also totally understand about having something just for you. Seems when you have kids, nothing is ever "just yours" anymore. Thanks for the comment. Happy MyLotting!

Hello singlemommy, My favorite drink is..........well I also have a few. I love Dr.pepper and I love Ice tea. There is a restaurant a few towns away and I love there tea. Also there is a gas station where my sister in law lives that every time I'm there I stop and get there tea. It's so fresh and so delicious. If I have to choose one I would choose ice tea all the way.

I too really like mountain dew and sweet tea. But as for the tea I like to make my own and brew it in the sunlight.

singlemommy my favorite drink is icy cold green tea with no sugar added as thatmakes it taste nasty to me. greentea' is really good for you as it has anti oxidants in it and bioflavins also. good for you nutritionally.

Personally, I have never tried green tea, but I have had alot of people tell me that it is really good. I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks for the comment! Happy MyLotting!

Hi Terri, My usual soda drink is Sprite Zero. I have an occasional Diet Pepsi Max if I need some energy or to wake up. When I go out to a restaurant I usually order an Iced Tea. I've been wanting to try the Mcdonald's Sweet Tea but I'm afraid it might have too much sugar in it and I'm diabetic so I have to be kinda careful of that. Happy MyLotting, Char

Yes, if you are diabetic then you might not want to risk trying McDonald's sweet tea. I've never tried Sprite Zero or Diet Pepsi Max, I'm sure they are good though. Happy MyLotting!

It really depends on my mood. I love a nice tall glass of milk. Or flavored water. I drink a decent amount of Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi or Diet 7Up if I'm craving soda. I love Arizona Green Tea in the big tall cans! My hubby loves McDonald's sweet tea :)

Well, tell your hubby that I think he has very good taste. lol I love chocolate milk, not much of a white milk drinker. Thanks for the comment. Happy MyLotting!
