What's the most refreshing summer drink?? Alcoholic or non....

[ClusterFreak]

....for me, at least as I write this, it's an Iced Cappucino from Tim Horton's (U.S. equivalent might be Dunkin' Donuts)....anyway, it's got tiny little ice slivers pureed inside a cappucino, creamy chocolate delight! It rocks in a very large way!:9

1. I love Starbucks Blended Creme Frappucinos

Vanilla bean or green tea - yummers!

[LSparkle]

2. Tecate (Mexican beer) with tons of lime -- on ice

Aaaaaahhhhhhhh

[Blue-Jay]

12. I love Tecate!

You can keep the limes, however. I don't like fruity beer, with the rare exception of Leiny Berry Weiss.

[LSparkle]

15. But lime is REQUIRED for Tecate ...

and it must be drunk from the can! (This according to my Mexican friends.)

[Blue-Jay]

18. Can = yes, lime = no.

I don't like Coke in my bourbon or fruit in my beer.

A big slice of sweet, ripe watermelon

3. Pimms

The distillation of everything that is right, good and wonderful about an English summer.

4. Home-brewed Bigelow's Constant Comment Iced Tea presweetened

with Splenda.... umhmmm good! and sooooo refreshing. Really quenches your thirst! Brewed Bigelow Plantation Mint Iced Tea w/ Splenda is great too...

5. My secret recipe for lemonade

But, I'll share it.

1 can frozen lemonade
2 cans of water
2 1/3 cans of vodka (Cheap vodka, because you'll never taste it anyway)

Delicious, but deadly.

[DawgHouse]

19. Wow, that sounds pretty stout! n/t

[HEyHEY]

6. Water man, room temp water is the best

You can chug it back without shocking youself and it's sooo good once it's in there

[Wetzelbill]

8. Right on

[nytemare]

7. Pollo Tropical Mango Tropichiller!!

Yummy and refreshing!

9. I'm on a Propel kick

10. Kvass

Especially, sold from a barrel along the road from a probably dirty glass.

[candy]

11. Large,very light,very sweet iced coffee.

[KittyWampus]

13. fresh lemonade

[swag]

14. Pinot Gris Spritzer.

Another dry white whine will do in a pinch. Ice and spritz it up.

[mcscajun]

16. The most refreshing is pure clear cold water.

The tastiest non-alcoholic summer drink: a black and white malted...omg. I've gotta have one of THOSE tomorrow!

The tastiest alcoholic summer drink: a Mojito.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. Radler. It's a German thing, it's like, half beer, and half some kind of

citrus flavored orange/lemony soda.

Sounds totally disgusting I know. But you gotta try it!

I'm gonna start another thread asking if anyone else knows about this.

[Hotler]

20. Good only over lots of ice on a hot day.

Like after yard work or watching the BBQ. Mike's hard lemon or lime aid over ice in a tall glass. Add 1/2 a squeezed lemon or lime and 11/2 shots of your favorite tequila. Stir and enjoy.

[JimmyJazz]

21. Iced tea with a sprig of mint.

[indypaul]

22. A tall glass of cold buttermilk. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

23. OK. That's just disgusting.

[mcscajun]

24. A classic comedian by the name of Shelley Berman would agree...

"I discovered this afternoon...why...I don't like...buttermilk...

(significant snippage)

...it is not...the buttermilk...that bothers me.

It's the way glass looks when you're through drinking it that makes me sick. That ugly white map inside of that glass...

...two more seconds and I'll throw up, I know it."
