You can find Grattachecca stands along the River Tiber and in different areas of Rome.

Don't remember what he called it though. My turkish friend used to make this drink with yogurt water and salt when it got warm in the summer. Don’t remember what he called it though.

Might I add that more expensive sangria substitutes the red wine with champagne, a delicious deviation from the original recipe. As much as I would like to give you a dutch summer drink, the only one I can think of is beer, which doesn't help battle dehydration at all :-P. It is refreshing though, and on a hot summers day you will find terraces filled with beer-drinkers. Hey paul,
