One hot day this past summer, during my cheese slinging shift, I noticed a new vendor in the park — not connected with the farmers market, but set up nearby with a bike-powered rig that included coolers, a small prep table, and a shiny manual juicer.

Soon, I saw market shoppers of all stripes sipping a delicious-looking herbaceous beverage they said came from the guy with the coolers. I had to go over and check it out for myself.

Yoki Pani is a purveyor of this drink, a perfectly quenching blend of sweet, tart, and refreshing flavors, topped off with a splash of seltzer. Getting some of that coolness for myself soon became an essential part of my summertime farmers market shifts.

Where had this beverage been all my life, and who was this dude with his mobile beverage rig, dedicated to cooling off and chilling out the community? Cohen grew up in West Philly and sells his drink there, sticking mostly to the neighborhood, as he purveys his wares by bicycle.

Cohen has sold nimbu pani on and off since he asked his mother — who grew up drinking it in India, where the beverage is a popular street drink and health tonic — for the recipe in his late teens. In his late twenties, he decided to quit a job managing a cafe in downtown Philly and cobbled together his current setup, built around his Schwinn.

After taking a few years off from the bike because of a knee injury, Cohen was back in the saddle this year at the request of Friends of Clark Park , a community group. He sells his drinks not only at the farmers market, but also alongside a nearby neighborhood taco cart on weekend evenings and at special events.

He pulls a few mint leaves off of the sprigs in his cooler, gives them a quick chop, and adds them to the drink. It gets topped off with a scoop of ice, a glug of seltzer, and a quick swirl of the ounce cup to mix it all together.

The result is pure refreshment, a life-giving infusion of cool that became an essential part of my mid-farmers market shift routine, when my own water bottle had been emptied and the muggy, oppressive heat of the day was at its peak. But he does have a few tips for optimizing the beverage if you make it at home.

First, you can either prepare your sweet component as a simple syrup like he does, or you can mix granulated sugar and water without heating it to form the base. It stays a little more granular this way, but Cohen says this is the method street vendors in India often use.

If you go the simple syrup route, add your lime zest and mint to taste once the sugar and water mixture comes to a boil, then drop the heat down to a simmer to extract the flavors.

First, clean the limes well and remove the zest. A microplane or zester is perfect for this job. Then, roll the limes on the counter so they will be more willing to give up their juice, and squeeze or juice with a citrus reamer. Natural sweeteners like honey , agave, or maple syrup also make delicious additions to this beverage.

Place over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely. Remove from heat.

Once the syrup has cooled completely, combine it with the lime juice in a mason jar with a lid or a cocktail shaker. Chop the remaining mint leaves, and add them to your shaker. Place the lid on top, and shake well to combine.

That was many moons ago, long before marriage, long before kids, long before my understanding of what my alcohol consumption was doing to my liver. These days I may have a glass of wine, a beer, or a cocktail once a week but for the most part, I stick to non-alcoholic beverages.

Place the lid on top, and shake well to combine. Fill two pint jars or highball glasses halfway with ice. Though full-sized cubes will work, crushed ice or smaller cubes are best for this.

Pour two ounces of the lime syrup mixture over the ice in each glass, then fill the rest of the way with seltzer. Stir to combine, and serve immediately. The beverage serves as an amazing base for booze, too — consider adding a splash of floral, high-quality gin or some bourbon to transition this tangy, fizzy treat to cocktail hour.
