This one is as refreshing a drink as it sounds. Cucumber mint juice can reduce the likelihood of heat stroke with its cooling properties.

This way, you get to have something as hydrating as water while skipping the unnecessary doses of caffeine. Teas are packed with antioxidants so that's a win too!
