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?

One of my favourite summer drinks is just some carbonated water mixed with a few drips of lemon or lime juice. It is crisp, a little tart, cold, and not sweet. Otherwise unsweetened refrigerated tea (maybe with a bit of lemon) is delicious as well, but perhaps not as crisp.

Oh, I like this one! Simple too, which is a bonus!
