1. Lassi

Lassi is one of the most popular summer drinks, and it is absolutely delicious, especially when served in a Kulhad. It is a yogurt-based drink that can be sweet as well as salty depending on your taste, but most people prefer sweet. The consistency is thick, and some shops add toppings like dry fruits, fruits, Roohafza, and many more such things to add texture. If you find yourself walking in the Pink City in summer, and the heat is getting to you, then go and get yourself a glass of chilled and creamy delicious Lassi.

2. Chhach

Chhach is also a yogurt or curd-based drink that is loved by everyone in Rajasthan. You can also say it is the salty counterpart of Lassi but I'm afraid that could potentially start a war. This beverage is a must in every Rajasthani household in summer. Homemade Chhach is the best thing ever but if you do not have access to homemade then you can try chhach in a good restaurant or buy a pouch from the market. Chhach is basically buttermilk with salt, black pepper, and other spices, some people like it plain too. It has many health benefits and it is extremely refreshing and delicious!

4. Cold Coffee

Cold Coffee is a global summer drink, but Jaipur does it a bit differently because they like their coffee death-by-sugar level sweet, Milkshake consistency thick, chilled coffee topped off with chocolate or vanilla ice cream, and chocolate chips and syrup on top. It is extremely indulging and delicious, which is why, it is a must-try. If you ever find yourself in Jaipur, then remember two things- 1. Try this delicious cold coffee, and 2. Never compare Statue Circle's cold coffee and GVD's cold coffee.
