Re: Summer Drinking
I'd like to throw my hat in for the good ol' Gin Screwdriver. Good amount of icecubes (I do about 5 or so), few shots of gin, then top off with orange juice in a low-baller glass. Sadly I'm out of OJ. Gin on the rocks is fantastic though, too, as Palinka caught me drinking. Splash of water makes it last a little longer. Gin is an amazing summer booze, in my experience. Makes for great flask carry, as well.

Re: Summer Drinking
It's gonna be 90 degrees and humid this weekend, and there's road and porch cement work to do which will kick the shit out of me but when I'm done I need relief so I started this yesterday:
1 fifth cheap vodka, transferred into a gallon container
one handful each of cut-up melon, strawberry, blueberry, orange slices, pineapple.
shaken like you would a colicky infant
allowed to settle and infuse, except when you feel the rage and wanna shake some more. Don't know if 2 days is enough.
gonna go half and half with tonic, add ice, and something minty from the herb garden, may need to put in a teaspoon of simple syrup, but gonna try to stay away from that as sugar ain't healthy.

Re: Summer Drinking
Drinking a cold beer on a hot day can result in a tummy ache.
On my way to play golf with an innocent-looking plastic gallon water jug filled with equal parts gin and tonic, with limes hidden in the bag. We'll see if it gets us kicked off when the beer bitch rolls by in the beer cart. Yes, I know, some of you are rooting for that out of principle.

Re: Summer Drinking
Went well until we ran out of toddies on the 8th tee and struggled in from there; trying to find your balls in the middle of an open field is more difficult than the non-golfer may imagine. Trying to see them at the end of your putter almost impossible.
Was driven home and hit the sack. Hurt Sunday.
