Gin & Tonic

Sapphire, tonic water, juice from half a lime, ice.

Pretty good.

What's your summer drink?

I'm sitting in 100 degree weather. Light German Beer seems to be doing the trick. When it cools down a little bourbon with a cube or two of ice.

Kir Royale. Which is creme de cassis & champagne.

Campari & Orange Juice. When I was a young man in San Francisco, I had a drinking buddy. She was a beautiful Italian American girl with big brown eyes and long dark hair. She also had a 67 Mustang. We used to go out drinking, get wasted, and meet up the next morning at a fern bar for restorative libations. My medicine was always a C & OJ, because the C is like cough syrup and the OJ is healthy. I think she favored Bloody Marys.

Mojito. We make them when we have a lot of French mint in the garden.

Well, its no Pan Galatic Gargle Blaster...

"It is a curious fact, and one to which no-one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonyx, or gee-N’N-T’N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand variations on this phonetic theme.
The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian ‘chinanto/mnigs’ which is ordinary water served just above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan ‘tzjin-anthony-ks’ which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the only one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that their names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds."

An EXCELLENT summer drink! I also really like a Vodka Tonic in the summer, Grey Goose L'Orange, tonic and an orange slice over ice.

If I'm not in a mood for alcohol, I love an Arnold Palmer with condensation on the glass.

That sounds pretty good Shaun.

I tend to stick to beer in the summer, mostly IPAs and always craft stuff.
Sippin a Terrapin Hopsecutioner right now.

Sapphire blue is very good, but I still prefer Tanqueray London Dry Gin.

Ayinger Weiss Brau w/ a slice of lemon for me, or Hoegardden. I made some Jamaican jerk pickle chips
which go well as sunken treasures in Bloody Marys (along with olives, hot string beans and pickled asparagus). It's like breakfast in a glass.

My all time fav:

Hendricks (best gin on the planet), lots of ice, lots of lime, little tonic, and cucumber spears.

Sometime I skin cucumbers and cube them, then in a martini shaker ice, gin, and cucumber. Then add lime and tonic.

Absolut Mandarin is another good one. Citrus vodkas lend themselves to tonic in particular and summertime in general.

If I drink gin it definitely is Blue Sapphire

If I go to a close by BBQ I like to arrive with a large pitcher of sangria. Each time I make it, it's a little different, but always good and well received.

Ah, another one!

Midori (melon liqueur) with bubbly (brut sparkling wine) and a strawberry floating in the top just to show it's healthy

I do enjoy Blue Sapphire, fresh tonic and just picked lime. But have to admit I don't feel great after drinking the combo. Love the complexity of gin but it does not like me. My cocktail, few and far these days in favor of lighter fare, is a simple vodka on the rocks.
