Oh my God, geaj, that drinks sounds excellent. I might try tonight if I have enough time to run to the store before it closes.
Besty, DO try that cucumber gimlet, it is fabulous! Let me know how you like it.
At the same bar they also had a ginger infused martini, didn't get to order it but it sounded pretty good. That night I also ordered a rum runner that had three kinds of alcohol, including 151, and it was pretty awesome as well.
When it comes to wine, I'm partial to Spanish rioja, trempanillo, or crianza. Love all of them. Of course a nice glass of riesling is ALWAYS welcome.

Faborite booze - Sidecar

3/4 ounce lemon juice1
1/2 ounces cognac

Shake well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass that has had its outside rim rubbed with lemon juice and dipped in sugar.

JAG--I love how you change with the seasons.

I'm more like a Mood Ring.

What's a 7&7?

[JustAGuy]

"JAG--I love how you change with the seasons."

There's usually a bit of overlap. And depending upon the circumstances...I've been known to go completely off the calendar and have an occasional vodka martini.

Seagrams 7 and 7-up

And I'm heading home from the office for a night cap!!! (I may pick up some limes and honey and muddle me a Dawa! or 3)

It usually depends on who's mixing it. If I have to mix it myself better keep it simple and just mix some Grey Goose and juice (orange or grapefruit, or both).

If I have faith in the bartender, Long Island Iced Tea is my favorite. Sangria is my favorite to order from a restaurant.

Normal iced tea (unsweetened) is my favorite non-alcoholic drink. I also love lemonade (especially raspberry lemonade).

Non-Alcoholic-Water or Cherry Coke.

Alcoholic-Malibu Bay Breeze, Sangria, or Long Island Iced Tea. And another favorite of mine is is called Pink Elephants on Parade. Well, that was one name for it anyway. Here is the recipe incase anyone is interested or knows it by a different name.

Pink Elephants on Parade
2 Oz Vodka
4 Oz Pink Lemonade
2 Tbs Sugar
0.5 Oz Midori Melon Liqueur

How I found this drink-I was googling stuff on literal Pink Elephants on Parade for some really weird reason. I was in a weird mood that night.

Regular Coca Cola on ice. There is nothing more refreshing and delicious.

Thanks for sharing it.

CHAMPAGNE!


The night they invented champagne (pop)
It's plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
that all we'd want to do
Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight (pop)
That since the world began
no woman or a man
has ever been as happy as we are tonight! (pop)



And, for non-alcoholic: water!

I got so messed up after a few sidecars a few years ago that I haven't been able to have one since.

I really want to try a vodka zinger.

Non Alcoholic-Diet coke, or an iced hazelnut latte.

Alcoholic-Whole i enjoy a well made long island, the best thing I've ever had was a raspberry mojito. They muddled fresh raspberries with the mint and lime. It was sublime!

Krystals!

I recently discovered this delicious treat near my grocery store, and it is soooo good. My favorites so far are Sparkling Grapefruit and Sparkling Blackberry. I have yet to try the other flavors.

"Sweetened with Cyclamates, heavenly."

Joe, at first glance I misread that as "Sweetened with CLAYMATES"

Summery goodness: Equal parts pineapple juice, guava juice, vodka...cut with sparkling water.

OTR or Blended

and being CD5...could it be any more appropriate?


I also enjoy Rum & Coke.
