BEER

SODA
SPANGRAM: BEVERAGECOOLERS
My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect
The weather is scorching hot in the UK, so my mind automatically went to words connected with staying cool.
However, I realized after spotting BEER that we were instead looking for cooling beverages — or BEVERAGECOOLERS according to the lengthy spangram.
My cooling beverage of choice — iced tea — didn’t make the cut, but as a second best I’d go with a KOMBUCHA, which is a bit of an upgrade on a regular tea drink but part of the same family, like a distant fancy auntie.
