OT: Favorite summer cocktail....

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Tequila Sunrise, margarita

Pilsner or IPA straight from a cold bottle in the summer.
Hendrick's gin + tonic and some cucumber is tough to beat too.
I have a 300 page Trader Vic's cocktail recipe book from the 1960s. Great find at $5. Thousands of recipes.

Beefeater Martini, very cold, very dry, up, one olive. Always a second one but with a twist. All four seasons.

I'm making a big batch of margaritas tomorrow...for some fun on the deck. Sangria of some sort is also in the rotation.

one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

With the unbelievably nice forecast for the weekend, time to switch to summer cocktails. Rarely drink beer (usually only at the beach) and I am a Bacardi/diet drinker year round, but for the summer I love some Tanqueray Rangpur on the rocks or with some tonic. I was introduced to Moscow Mules during our trip to Hawaii in February (with some out of this world homemade ginger beer), so I grabbed some unused copper mugs from my parents and am adding it to my "rotation". You?

Try a Dark 'n Stormy. Made from this:
Gosling's Black Seal Rum (looks like molasses; this is a very dark rum)
Gosling's ginger beer.
Had them in Key West. Now I make them at home occassionally. I think they said they're the national drink of Bermuda. That's where Gosling's is made.

Chick beer. Not worth the cost to chill.

Hey, the older you get the more weight we gain. This will help us stay trim.

Cotes du Rhone wine from France; generally they are lighter in "body" but very flavorful reds. A real porch pounder!

Great wines, young so light and crisp.

Bombay Sapphire Gin Martini and Belvedere and 7 Up for me

My wife likes pomegranate martinis and cosmopolitan (but with much more cranberry juice than the recipe calls for)
