Summer Drinks

[snowmonster]

Gin and Tonic. Classic!

 

[WJenness]

I'm on the Dark 'n' Stormy list...

If I'm somewhere that doesn't have ginger beer (happens WAY too frequently) my backup summer drink is a Vodka Lemonade... Rum (Captain's) and Coke is a distant third for me...

Beer is great as well... but I took the question to be about mixed drinks.

Reminds me... I need to give Blenheim bottlers down in South Carolina a call tomorrow. They make a great spicy ginger ale and use real sugar instead of HFCS. Their "hot" is nuclear and their "not so hot" is still really spicy. The diet is quite drinkable, too. It's been a few years since I ordered any but they used to UPS it to me.

They even have a web site these days.

90% of the time beer for me.. occasionally my sweet tooth kicks in and i go for the fruity stuff. Maui Sunset is a recent favorite.
[have to find recipe and will post]

also love beer margaritas:
3 corona beers
1 12oz can of frozen limeade
12 oz of tequila
add lime or strawberries

Blueberry vodka + lemonade, or light beer in the summer. But the reality is, I'll drink just about anything.

Beer, G&T, margarita (rocks, lime and simple syrup), all good and pretty standard for me. Occasionally I feel like something a little heavier, and will go for Zabruwka and apple juice. Tasty and cold, but not really "refreshing,"

A Mt. Gay and Tonic can't be beat.

I also like rum Bay Breeze's. Pineapple with a splash of Cranberry. Myer's or Cruzan Dark.

I've always had Baybreezes with coconut rum. Very yummy.

Coconut rum is too sweet for me. And not strong enough.
