When I was in Europe a few years ago I picked up a seltzer habit. Nothing is as refreshing as an ice cold seltzer. To me it rivals the effects of a coffee in the morning. It's a good alternative if you like fizzy drinks. You can mix some fruit juice in if you want something sweeter. Besides that I drink lots of ice black coffee in the summer -- homemade though because coffee shops use disgusting stale/burnt coffee for iced and it tastes really bad black. If you get some good beans, grind them yourself, and get the coffee off the burner quickly after brewing you'll get an ice coffee that isn't too bitter.
