Do you guys know any recipes to put in a spray bottle to help cool down?

My current recipe is:

1:1 Distilled Water + Wotch Hazel + x drops of food grade peppermint oil.

The peppermint oil smells nice and I believe it’s somewhat of an insect repellent.

Do you folks use anything? I remember when I played sports we used to cool down with buckets of ice water with something called “Florida water” in it but I don’t think that goes with my spray bottle idea.

An old trick my 97 year old ex-neighbor told me about years ago. Put a few ice cubes (and a splash of water if you are in a hurry) in a sandwich sized ziplock baggie, place it on top of your head and wear a baseball cap over it. It really cools you down and lasts about a half hour per refill. I hate hot humid weather, this trick made me much more comfortable so I could actually get shit done in the heat.
