Favorite Summer Drink...

We're about to head to the beach and I'm throwing just these 3 ingredients into the cooler:

Vodka (Deep Eddy or Titos)
Club Soda or Seltzer (We usually use either plain club soda or lime seltzer unsweetened stuff only)
Squeeze of fresh lime

Fill glass with ice cubes
Pour in Vodka
Squeeze lime
Pour over club soda

Enjoy...

It's not too sweet and it's not too much alcohol and it's very refreshing. It's not even as heavy as light beer. Even light beer can make me feel bloated in the hot summer.



What's your favorite summer drink recipe?

All time favorite is a bushwacker, but I feel like a fata$$ If I drink more than one. I love a citrus beer on the beach this time of year, like a summer shandy or alcoholic Arnold Palmer.

All those have a lot of carbs in them which can make you feel kind of full or bloated in the summer. You should consider one of the above or 4 or 5 of them...

We just got back from the beach... I think it's nappy time.

I like me a good ole Alabama Slammer when it's hot out...

Water and powerade

I'm a beer man but...........Daily's Bahama Mama's frozen packs. Nothing special, but on hot summer days they fill the need. Throwem in a cooler, ice em down and add ice cream salt. Stays frozen all day and works great when working at the camp. Instant cool down and alcohol at the same time.

Favorite summer drink is, without a doubt, a Mojito....also you mentioned drinks with a lot of carbs above. We're doing the whole low-carb/keto thing right now, so excessive carbs and sugar is a no-go.

My mojito consists of Light Rum, Club Soda, fresh mint, fresh squeezed lime and truvia instead of sugar. It's virtually indistinguishable from a regular Mojito (with sugar) and it's sugar free and no carb.

Beer and water.. I like to keep it simple

When the peaches start getting right, I love to make a pitcher of frozen peach daiquiris. Maybe only once or twice a summer but they sure are good!

This summer it’s been the Highway 11.

That sounds amazing.

Sweet Tea.

is that a bag of weed on the table?

Yep sweet tea, ice cold water and once in a while a Dr. Pepper.

I tried this tonight, little bland. Then thought it might be better with gin than vodka, so tried that. Then realized I'd rather just have a gin and tonic, since I was really close to that anyway. So now I've got a great buzz. Thanks.

sweet tea all day

Lemon Lime Gatorade.

Ice water
