Favorite summer drink?

I tried the Mojito, and yum. I have fresh mint growing here and used that. I put 7 leaves in the bottom of a glass with half a cut up lime and some simple syrup. Then I poured a healthy pour of rum and ground it until it smelled very minty. Then covered with ice and topped off with club soda. Very good.

Cranberry juice with vodka and lots of ice.

Rum and orange juice.

Gin and tonic

For fishing out on the lake, a cooler filled with beer on ice and plenty of fuel for trolling.

Cuba Libre!
Black Seal Rum
Diet Coke
freshly squeezed lime juice

I used to work as a bartender when I was in college. We had 2 prices for drinks $1.95 for regular and $2.75 for premium. If the customer asked for rum and coke you use the cheap stuff and it was $1.95 if they called for a branded rum like Bacardi it was $2.75

I always hated when people used the drink names Like Cuba Libre when it was just as easy to say Rum and Coke. So, Call it a Rum and Coke, you get the cheap rum and it's $1.95, call it a Cuba Libre and you get the cheap rum and it's $2.75.

The other thing I hated was when people asked for weird stuff in their drinks, Like "Can I get a Bloody mary made with Clamato?" " Can I get an anchovie stuffed olive in my martini?" No Uncle Fester, you can't!

If alcohol, usually just good old beer. If non-alcohol, then dr. pepper suits my tastes.
