Summer Drinks

I'm not a big fan of "girly" drinks.

 

It's the taste. I've enjoyed a girly drink here and there but I don't like most of them. I'm much more a fan of simple mixed drinks or quality beer.

 

Take some gin. Add some tonic. Mix in a little lime juice.

End. Of. Thread. *hiccup!*

 

It's all good. I love quality beer myself.

 

Why not just throw it together with a New Orleans Hand Grenade

 

OK IJAG, here's an alternative for you (as I've said on here many times): Red Death.

1 part Vodka
1 part Southern Comfort
1 part Amaretto Almond Liqueur
1 part Triple Sec
1 part Sloe Gin
1 part Lime Juice
Orange Juice (to taste)

If it's made right, it tastes very much like Hawaiian Punch. Except Hawaiian Punch doesn't knock you on your ass after two cups.

 

Or, just get some Tanquray Rangpur, and leave out the lime juice.

Then start speaking in an English accent. Oh wait, that's just me.....now where's my monacle?

 

Mojitos are outstanding.

 

My buddy called it a malibu sunrise...

coconut rum
pineapple juice
orange juice

mix the parts based on your personal preference/tolerance...

I'll still take a bud light over anything, any day of the week... but this is a decent change of pace.

 

I tried a mojito the other night at my local, and I was underwhelmed. I certainly prefer a G and T or V and T, or a martini.

 

I like a more fun drink like a mojito or a pomegranate margarita every so often, but I always come back to my favorite: vodka and club soda. It's refreshing and low in calories and if the vodka's good, they go down like water.
