Most fruit juice, especially the tinned muck, is absolutely riddled with sugar, several teaspoons.
So it cools you for a couple of minutes, until your body starts burning the sugar. And at that point you start heating up again, only ten times worse, like a reentry vehicle entering the Earth's atmosphere!
Same goes for ice cream and ice lollies. I never touch the vile things.

Downstairs in my local Kaufhof there is a really rather large selection of German gins which would look interesting if I liked gin. Found a new one today in Frankfurt, based on a local delicacy: Gin Sieben - echter Frankfurt Dry Gin

It's been above 30°C for four days - today looks to be the hottest so far. Not as hot as 2004. Yet.
Last week was around 40ºC in Lisbon now it's 26ºC.
