Thread: Cool drinks, cool and drink!

Why does cool drinks taste good only when it is cool?

It depends on the drink really. I find carbonated drinks easier to drink cold becasue there a lot less bubbl, where as some spirits i.e. vodka I will only drink with ice because the coldness tends to take away a lot of the bitter tastes.

Also alot of its probably becasue cold drinks tend to wake you up slightly which is refreshing, giving the impression they taste nicer.

But they are really bleh?

could be the way you were raised. my friend worked with a guy from ethiopia, who would only drink warm beer. He found cold beer quite disgusting. I bet if you didn't grow up with a fridge, you wouldn't mind warm drinks.
