Favorite Summer Drink

[rikrdo]

prolly already discussed..............but:

Beer

Bourbon / Ginger Ale and a squeeeeeeeeeze of lime is also a favorite.

and, um............. Sangria(s) for the "get-togethers"

Difficult to contemplate here where it's ****** freezing at the moment but summer drinks for me are G & Ts, Pimm's. Also difficult to go past a really cold beer on a hot one as well.

I've been cranking out caipirinhas here in hot, humid and sodden Southern NJ....

Pimm's?!

Ooh five posts James, you're slipping.

I finished up that last of the Unicum the other day but this shall be replaced with "Rock & Rye". The drink I give to guests who, when asked for a drink reply "ooh give me something different". lol

Margarita with fresh lime, salted rim and Cuervo Tradicional (100% Agave at a reasonable price). That's what I sip when the sun beats down. Fajita mix would certainly help, too.

Garnished with a pickled artichoke heart.

Geez, you actually made something bad even worse.

Unicum?! Horror of horrors. You actually managed to mention something worse than Pimms and Cynar combined.
Remind me next time to end "give me something different" with "that won't nearly kill me."

Kristalweizen with a fat wedge of lemon. Haven't found it most places here in the states, unfortunately. But nothing like it for summer.

It was 77 F in Nashville this week, so time for my 1970's favorite Harvey Wallbanger.

Mix vodka, orange juice (fresh preferred) and Galliano in any proportions you like, and enjoy.

In my undergrad party days - late 60's - we'd mix up a gallon in a milk jug and be set for the night. All I remember from one of those nights was a four-wheel skid through an intersection in Chicago in my 54 Chevy. I survived just fine, but that was the last time I was incapacitated behind the wheel.

Nothing beats sitting outside sipping a mojito or a mai tai on a hot day

Relaxing, definitely a cold summer drink. Standing at the BBQ, a cold beer!
