This drink is "refreshing by itself"
Sorry had to take your thread title lanzeta because revealed to me that I don't know how to day this.. I now need Esta bebida esta ? (refrescado?) por lo mismo? I think por ti mismo means by yourself, but what about "by itself"? I don't think I know how to say refreshing either.....

I'd say that Indysidnaray's basically got it right, as far as a literal translation goes. But to me a literal (or close to literal) translation of the expression you posted sounds a bit contrived.
If I wanted to express that idea in my natural Spanish, I may instead say something like: "¡Ahh, pero esta bebida ya está bien refrescante!", or "Esta bebida ya es bien refrescante", or "Esta bebida me refresca suficiente" - something like that...
I would say "esta bebida es lo suficientemente refrescante (por si misma), que no necesito nada más, ninguna otra bebida, ni meterme en la alberca"
Lol love your sentence, I'd say 'Esta bebida está refrescante por sí misma.'
Refrescante is the adjective for a refreshing breeze or drink. As for "refreshing by itself" I don't really understand what you mean by that. Do you want to imply that the drink alone is refreshing or do you just want to know how to say "by itself"?
You do realize that the other thread (Refreshing by itself) was talking about the web page "refreshing itself" and not being refreshing as in your context, don't you? The dictionary web page was reloading automatically and resetting the page address to the default web page.
To Refresh the page is to reload it, in case something didn't load correctly or has corrupted/changed since it was first loaded. Depending on which browser that you are using you should have a "Refresh" option usually under the Edit or View command.
Now, how would you say Refresh in that context? ¡(des/re)cargar otra vez?
