Every year, with the onset of the summer, we all start bingeing on mango shakes and watermelon juice to keep ourselves hydrated. These drinks help in keeping the stomach cool while also keeping dehydration at bay. But have you ever thought of ditching your old mundane mango shakes and watermelon juice for a new and exciting drink?
