We get very excited about a summer rain here in Arizona because it gives a small window of relief from the summer heat. We had a series of storms this past weekend and it cooled our pool down several degrees making my morning swim a bit more pleasant. But the humidity afterwards can be unpleasant so when I came home from work I made this iced drink to cool down.
