I need a savoury, summery drink as an alternative to beer (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It's a hot summer afternoon. I'm sitting down on a hot afternoon, with a burger, and a cold beer.

What I'm looking for is something to replace that cold beer with. I want it to be crisp and fresh, but also not sweet. I love tart and bitter flavours. Unfortunately, my options are either cold and sweet, cold and alcoholic or hot and non sweet.

So threadiverse, what alternatives am I missing?

Tereré is great, but it's a bit of a pain to source in Australia. What else is there?

Brazilian Lemonade

Maybe too sweet for what you're looking for, but you can adjust the sugar and limes to taste:

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/54083/brazilian-lemonade/

2 limes
3 cups water (710ml)
½ cup sugar (100g)
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (45ml)
ice cubes

Directions

Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges.

Place limes in a blender with water, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and ice; pulse 5 times, or until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice.
