During the warmer months, I'm a big fan of the better witbiers on the market.

Celis, Hoegaarden, etc. :mrgreen:

Or any number of other lighter styles. Or margaritas. Those are good too. :angel:
 
Margaritas and Cosmopolitans are my favorites. I usually have some Chambord on hand, too - sometimes I add a shot to a glass of lemonade. And I love sangria, although it takes some planning - my recipe calls for combining ingredients, then letting the flavors blend overnight.
 
The most refreshing drink I ever had was called a Blue Hawaiian.
I think it is basically vodka, pineapple juice and blue curacao. I first had them in Hawaii, then Vegas, so they must know what they are doing and have the same recipe. Meaning it isn't just a local drink. Good stuff!
 
The Perfect Summer Drink...

The perfect summer drink has a lot to do with where you are, the food, the company, the music and your mood. I love to cook Mexican food and to me there is nothing better than a Cadillac Margarita to share with friends out on the deck while taking in a classic Baja sunset over dinner. I might even have some Marco Antonio Solis, Armando Manzanero or Roberto Carlos playing in the background...
 
do you have any cockatil concoctions taht are perfect for this summer?

Yes, a couple...

Snapple pink lemonade and coconut flavored rum(i.e. Malibu)

One I came up with recently for a refreshing fruity drink thats a bit sweeter.
1 shot Capt. Morgan spiced rum
1 shot coconut rum
Pineapple juice
lemon lime soda.

Mix in a tall glass, equal amounts pineapple juice and soda. You can also use a shot of sweet and sour mix instead of the pineapple juice. That really tames it down to a nice not too sweet drink.

Something from the whiskey side.
In a blender, 1 small can frozen lemonade
1 can water
1 can whiskey.
Fill with ice and blend until slushy.

While I always crave Pimms in the summer we've been having our homemade framboise with pomegranite juice over ice on warm days and its a more than satisfactory substitute. We found it so good we realised we' downed half a bottle of the framboise over one afternoon in this way :ermm:
