When it comes to your first drink on a humid day, you should think about body temperature before fashion.
On hot nights, the temperature comes before the alcohol.
If you come in sweating outside and immediately choose a martini, the alcohol level can kick in quickly. If you start with a cold, tall glass, your body and conversation will slowly adjust.
new perspective
Choosing a summer bar isn't a matter of taste, but rather temperature and speed. A glass with low alcohol content, plenty of ice, and carbonation helps relieve fatigue on a hot day.
Practical method
For your first drink, a long, cold menu like highball, gin soda, spritz, or paloma is good. From the second glass, it's never too late to move on to the bar's signature or strong classics.
Things to watch out for
A sweet, cold glass is easy to drink quickly. It is best to order water together and not drink a lot at once when the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large.
A good bar order on a hot day isn't one strong drink to sustain you, but a low, tall glass to prolong the night.
