A new summertime drink my ATF introduced me to - cucumber flavored vodka over ice. It's very refreshing!

Use the deep eddie grape fruit vodka mixed with club soda and maybe a lime and a splash of cranberry if you like it sweet. If you don't have lime or cranberry then just the vodka and soda is fine also!!
best summer drink..atleast for the beach is
1 liter tequila sauza (anejo)
equal part cranberry juice
6 redbull cans
shit load of ice, throw all in cooler. drink ice cold

VOILA..you have a beach wino inspired
Cranzilla...(cranberry tequila)

Hard to beat a good London dry gin (preferably Beefeaters) and tonic with a generous squeeze of lime on a hot afternoon.
Could totally go for a Berry Mojito right about now!



The Cranzilla in the above post sounds great!!

Agreed. I also will muddle a bit of cilantro sometimes and have considered other herbs.

Rimming with celery salt is optional.



I also make a mean watermelon margarita.

Wasn't a gin fancier myself till I tried her drink.
Doesn't matter what time of year - the drink is the same..........a good Bourbon, a splash of Coke and one ice cube...........

Bud light. Always in season.

Simple drink for a simple guy.

Upon occasion, rye whiskey over ice.

Summer's almost over -- think 9-22-14 at 9:29 pm.

But since the warm weather in San Antonio lingers on for many weeks, a "veranda" blow out might be just the thing to mark the end of Summer.

Any suggestions for the libations?
I will be stuck up here and won't be able to make it. Have one for me.
