Pimm's Cup

Ever had one?  And if so, would you rate it higher or lower than a Mojito for a refreshing summer beverage? 

What's your cocktail of choice on a scorching hot summer afternoon?

Is that part of the Grand Slam.

*wanders around the forum dazedly*

I thought it was some sporting thing...

I do like an Arbor Mist with some ice and sprite or other clear soda pop.

occasionally , a beer really works to cut summer heat, goes good with bbq too!

Dislike gin. Mojito still wins for me. But then I'm all about the muddle.

Also Limoncello, vodka, splash of soda water...delightful.

Mind you, a good spicey Ceasar is a thing to savour, and I haven't had a Shandy in years....

also Mint Juleps are lovely.

a restaurant near me does seasonal mojitos.  last time I was there, they were making a strawberry-ginger mojito.  amazing!

My MIL used to drink beer with tomato juice and a shot of tabasco.  Actually, it was pretty good.

I drink water.

Seriously.

That's all I drink.

Occasionally I'll go crazy and have an iced tea, but that's infrequent.

Yes. Although, I do prefer a vodka-based Bloody Mary.

Now that I have an actual cocktail shaker, I am all about the Absolut. :)

There was a fabulous deal going on at the Duty Free store at LAX on my way to mexico a couple weeks ago, so we got 2 liters of Absolut, mandarin and raspberry. My fave drink was mandarin with pineapple juice and sprite. Or Raspberry with cranberry juice and sprite. Delicious!

 Latinos in my area enjoy Budweiser and Clamato together.  I know, it seems a travesty, but to each his or her own, I guess.

not just the latinos here. urf.

no to bud.

no to clamato.

just NO!

me no likey the pimms.

I do like ceasars, but they have to be made with Clamato juice.   Oh and on a hot hot hot day a reeeally cold gin and tonic goes down good.

vodka tonics for me.

refreshing, give you a buzz, and not strong

Rolling Rock is the perfect summer refreshment.

Cocktails...yuck.
