Summer drinks

[marlowe]

It's a warm evening and I felt the need for alcoholic refreshment, nothing too strong. So I've concocted a new drink: you've heard of kir (white wine + cassis) and spritzer (white wine + soda water, or sparkling mineral water), well this is a hybrid of those, a sort of kir light.
- Half glass white wine, poured over ice + dash of cassis + half glass of sparkling mineral water. It works well, refreshing and not too demanding.

This has got nothing at all to do with transsexuality, just decided to announce this astonishing creation here first on this forum! In honour of that, and because it's a delicate drink, fresh and with good potential, I shall call it a 'pink femboy' (well there's already a drink called 'pink lady').

Try it, it might catch on. Any other suggestions for good summer drinking?

Something about a mojito seems to suggest summer to me. And as for cool and refreshing, nothing beats a Ted Kennedy special: Long Island Iced Tea. However, many would not consider my drinking habits to be the most feminine...for that matter, many would consider them to be downright alcoholic. My preferred drink is straight whiskey, bottom ups!

My favourite summer beverage on a hot summer day is dunkeles hefe Weizen bier. (For those that don't speak German it translates to dark yeasty wheat beer) I prefer the German to the Belgian beer.

Long Island Iced Tea? I like iced tea - does this have a little extra surprise hidden away in the tea?

The "tea" is more of an illusion than a reality...hehe...

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®



Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

Wow that T sounds really hardcore! A bit too powerful for me I think.

Anyone else like Negroni?
1 part gin + 1 part sweet red vermouth + 1 part Campari bitter.
Stir into glass over ice and garnish with a twist of orange.
(Umbrellas optional for the girls!)
Really great stuff.

A fave from the old college days was a Hairy Buffalo. It's best served during a party..

1 cooler (empty)
A bunch of fruit - any will do, but should be a variety and cut into bite-sized chunks/wedges.
2 Gal of fruit punch
Each guest brings a bottle of their favorite booze to add

It's pretty hit or miss, but never fails to get one good and drunk. Followed by a game of "Truth or Dare" or "Spin the Bottle" and stories better left unsaid are sure to happen.

Have to admit the kir with mineral water is a wee bit girly - maybe that's why it's called a 'pink femboy'.

An ice cold bottle of Corona with a slice of lime goes down well. Or an ice cold pint of carlsberg export.

If you're after spirits, then pimms and lemonade as a good summer drink, quite refreshing as well.

So.. am I playing into expectations if I mention that my favorite drinks are made with a blender and have skewered fruit as garnish?

Yep, definately a ladies drink. No red blooded male would be seen dead with skewered fruit.

I find it very droll not sipping a chilled mug o rum by the sea. But anybody who's anybody know's this.

Personally, I don't know how ANYBODY could be by the sea and not be altered...

i like liqer. shmrinoffs, pucker, and some other stuff.

the best summer drink? has to be cold beer, the simplest things are often the most enjoyable, and theres nothing quite like a cold beer after a hard days work, i love botles of corona but without any lime in the kneck thats shits for women.

[Attis]

My favor drink is : banana, mango and orange...

I like evan williams and jack hard stuff.

I don't drink any alcohol, but a nice tall glass of iced tea or lemonade is a great beverage on a hot summer's evening.

When I was a little kid I got so hot mowing the lawn I chugged an entire ice cold beer, the only beverage in the fridge. Delishchuss!!!
German beer=Liquid bread
On the sixth month of a strict diet I went out and bought a Bartender's guide just so I could read all the recipes.
Famous last words: If I can walk- I can drive......

I prefer sodas - cream, root beer, orange, citrus, etc. - flavored water, or Gatorade.
*grumbles at Gatorade for getting rid of Tropical Propel and the Coca-Cola Company for discontinuing Pineapple Fanta*

pour the vodka down my throat, yum num num num num!!

I personly thin Malibou is the best drink ever, 2 reasons 1 is you can drink it from the bottle like water, but it's 21%, 2 is if you vom, it still tastes yummy going the other way.

Who here has tried an Evil Traffic Light?
