Yeah so I know that I probably left your favorite off the list, but you know what this is about me and my needs, so feel free to suggest something but if you get all "HOW COULD YOU FORGET JACK AND COKES" well you are on the wrong thread and also you suck.

out of these i most often drink a gin & tonic, but for something "summery" out of this list i would choose a mojito

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 26 May 2010 20:33 (sixteen years ago)

pastis + water

G&T is the classic summer drink

Sloe Gin Fizzes just remind me of "Safe Men." Don't they have egg white in them?

yo, mojito ftw

My dad makes a great mojito. It's very simple but it requires patience: just sugar, mint, lots of lime. Press and add club soda. Keep stirring.

had surprisingly delicious homemade julep the other day, but voting for anything other than g&t would be a pose for me.

i pretty much only drink rum/lime/seltzer lately, i don't care about being a real mixologist

― harbl, Wednesday, 26 May 2010 21:49 (sixteen years ago)

i mean that's why i can't vote for any of these except g&t because 2 ingredients is enough

& i hate sugar

the original daiquiri recipe (rum, lime, sugar) is fabulous if you're not harbl ;)

on monday i made two pitchers of pimm's with ginger ale, sliced cucumber, strawberries, lemon, lime, and sliced apricots, and drank them in the sun.

What about the Algonquin? Two parts whiskey (preferably rye), one part vermouth and one part unsweetened pineapple juice. Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

g+t is sorta an outlier here if only bcuz im capable of making one but mint juleps are really good

I bought my third bottle of Pimm's of the week today. I'm not drinking that much ALONE you understand, but even so this Pimmserie is making quite a dent in the household budget.

You know it was originally to be served in a copper cup because the copper ions added extra zing? Not really indicated by the RDA, afaik.

mojito's are girlier imo

― just sayin, Monday, 7 June 2010 15:26 (sixteen years ago)

Mojitos are redeemed by the inherent coolness of being Cuban. I suppose that drinking several gin & tonics is one of the more civilized ways to get drunk when it is warm out as well.

― Protect family from germs of disease (KMS), Monday, 7 June 2010 17:36 (sixteen years ago)

would have voted mojito - girly drinks ftw (sometimes)

Important summer drink-related question: where in the TC area do I purchase good bloody mary thx

― ╓abies, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 02:51 (sixteen years ago)

I've tried to make them in the past but they were shockingly bad, every time.

― ╓abies, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 02:52 (sixteen years ago)

I am a big fan of zingzang mix, which seems to be available in a fair amount of liquor stores.

― Adolf Hipster (jjjusten), Tuesday, 8 June 2010 03:14 (sixteen years ago)

When I'm making a bloody mary, I take 1 part vodka, 2 parts store-bought tomato juice, juice of half of a lemon freshly squeezed, four or five healthy shakes of worcestershire sauce, two or three drops of tabasco sauce and a dash of black pepper. I shake the whole thing in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass with four or five ice cubes in it.

i think the lemonade mint etc one that lost is called a sidecar maybe? deserved more votes, they are tasty tasty

― apparently not the band, but the lifestyle (jjjusten), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 22:04 (sixteen years ago)

Had a rum and grapefruit juice last night with just a small splash out of the maraschino cherry jar, mighty good.

Also, to hell with muddling, I'm going to pick a bale of mint and infuse some simple syrup.

― Grisly Addams (WmC), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

hmmm i have rum and grapefruit soda...

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 22:24 (sixteen years ago)

It was hot when I was in England but I couldn't tear myself away from G&Ts to drink Pimm's - I am a bad anglophile - but i did have a Pastis or two which is telling.

btw that thing is not called a sidecar. i have no idea what it is named.

― apparently not the band, but the lifestyle (jjjusten), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 22:35 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, a sidecar is cognac, orange liquer and lemon juice. A great cocktail, but it definitely doesn't involve vodka or lemonade concentrate, although I'm not exactly sure what lemon concentrate is. I'm guessing it is the frozen stuff that comes in those little cans and is mixed with water to make pitchers of lemonade.

― Protect family from germs of disease (KMS), Thursday, 10 June 2010 00:31 (sixteen years ago)

Summer drinks I am making: Dark & Stormy (dark rum and ginger beer), Antibes (gin, Benedictine, grapefruit juice). I want to try Pimm's Cup but I am always confused as to what the top off is: lemonade? sprite? ginger ale? I also want to try a Negroni.
