I second this.
You can't really go around drinking quarts of juice all day, even though it's good for you! I find a bit of OJ mixed into club soda is pretty refreshing.
Mostly I make pitchers of iced tea though. My favorite light iced tea is this:
I throw 2 bags of plain peppermint tea and 3 bags of green Japanese tea (I like Gen-MaiCha or Jasmine green) into a pitcher and pour in hot water. I add a LITTLE sugar just to take the edge off. The mint makes it super refreshing and light. Just takes a minute or two to make every other day.
