Favorite forge drink

[Temphand]

After a tough day in the heat and a few missed strikes, I often find myself wanting something cold before I head back to the anvil.
What’s your favorite drink while you’re forging coffee, water, soda, or maybe something else that keeps you energized?

I drink tons of iced tea with lemon. It has caffeine for focus without feeling heavy, and it's super refreshing when it's hot.
I keep a cooler right next to the forge, so it’s always handy.

Honestly, it's way better than soda, which just makes you thirstier.

I mix electrolyte powder into ice water. When you're sweating like crazy next to a forge all day, plain water just doesn’t do the trick. It helps prevent cramps and actually keeps you hydrated. Trust me, I learned that the hard way after passing out from dehydration one summer, definitely not a fun experience.

I start my day with cold brew coffee, then I switch to Gatorade for the rest of the day. The sugar gives me a boost of energy and the salt helps replace what I lose from sweating all day in the heat.
