Beverages In Food Storage

If you had to live off your food storage for a while, it would be a good thing to have beverages included in that food storage, right? Have you ever thought about what beverages would you want to store?

No one wants to just drink water all the time, so it is good to have a variety to drink as well as the variety you store for your food. If I didn't have some of these in storage, I'd mostly be drinking water.

This is what I currently have in my pantry:

Almond Milk: I use this for smoothies, in hot cereal, and "cream" for coffee. I don't generally drink it plain unless I get chocolate flavored.

Coffee: Generally there is not too much coffee in my pantry as I don't want it to get stale. I usually have 2 or 3 cans.

Ginger Soda: I don't drink much soda, but ginger soda is the exception. My favorite is Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost.

Hot Chocolate: Best drink for cold days! Store bought and homemade mix. Also have some "fancy" hot chocolates with flavors, like salted caramel from Starbucks. If it's in my pantry, it will be without marshmallows.

Juices: Mostly organic and in glass. Apple, grape, mango, and more.

Lemonade: In glass. Some Limeade too.

Powdered Milk: Use this in baking and for making my homemade powdered hot chocolate mix.

Tea: I love tea! The more varieties, the better!

Water: Drinking water, distilled, and sparkling water. I used the distilled for use with my neti pot. I use the sparkling water to mix with juice.
