Keeping Cool in the Glen

Oppressive heat has settled on Watkins Glen in earnest! There are several things you can do to stay cool, or at least trick yourself into thinking you are cool.

  --Wet your hair! The evaporation will cool your head.
--  Run cold water over your wrists for 10 seconds, which will reduce your body temperature for about an hour.
--If you don’t want to go swimming, at least put your feet in the water. The body radiates heat from hands, feet, face and ears.
--Wear light colors.
--Always-Always-Always wear sunscreen and reapply often.

Make sure to hydrate. Of course, water is the #1 choice, but what are the #2 choices? You can beat the heat with cool summer drinks! The best choices are full of flavor, subtle or fruity, and just plain refreshing.

There’s no end to the array of icy drinks available at the Victory Lane Lounge! For some pure summer refreshment, let me recommend the following:

 Andrew’s Famous Rum Runner- A citrusy mixture topped with a generous lashing of rum.

Cranberry Mojito- These are ideal for lazy yet important summer conversation.

Ametista-This cocktail, almost decadent, tastes like the “Tropics in a Glass”.

Sprizza Pesca- Mix Sparkling Prosecca with Peach Mango Rum, add frozen peach slices for garnishment for pure summer refreshment. 

 Gin and Tonic- Crisp, classic combo

I'm not a beer drinker, but have it on good authority that Blue Moon (served with an Orange wedge) is the perfect summer beer.

Don’t forget- Drink Responsibly!
