What drinks do you prefer in the summer, both as a thirst quencher and cocktails, if you so imbibe?

I usually go through about a half gallon of unsweetened ice tea with lemon in two days and seltzer water with lime in between the tea. Sometimes for a cool happy hour drink I like sangria stirred with oranges, lemons and limes or a good ice cold Miller Lite beer.

I like to just grab some Coconut water most of the time. .. vita coco, my favorite.
Mixing things together requires work. ;)

I like to just drink plain seltzer water, with a touch of juice, like cherry or lemon for flavor. When I want to enjoy a brewski, I chill a Foster's. :cheers:
 

Lemonade is my favorite summertime drink. I will never refuse a root beer float. We have iced tea quite a bit too.

I never could stand the taste of beer. I do have a half glass of red wine most evenings.
 
On a really hot day, there is nothing like a good cold Keith's when the day is done. I usually drink water during the day. Lots and lots of water and like rkunsaw, I normally have a glass of red wine with dinner.
 
How about a Pimms? for late afternoon/ evening.
Actually for hot sunny days I make lemonade , just add boiling water
to sliced lemons in a jug
and leave in fridge when cooled.....
:)Makes a very refreshing drink, no calories either.!

I hear you on that. For the last two weeks I have come in drenched in sweat, where I can actually ring water out of my hair and trying to peel clothes off is like trying to get out of a leaky wet suit. Today when I came in Hubby immediately got my ice tea glass out and was pouring the tea while I was downing a can of seltzer water in practically one gulp. Had some watermelon for lunch, too! Well hydrated now.

Blossom, this sounds very good. I'm going to stock up on lemons tomorrow and give this a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Is Pimms a beer?
 
Hello Ozarkgal.
Well,
Pimm’s No. 1 is a spirit drink , gin-based drink flavoured with liqueurs, fruit and spices, and has 25% alcohol by volume

Hi Guys. Iced tea is my favorite. If I'm having a cocktail, which I seldom do, I usually do a gin or vodka tonic. I add a little artificial sweetener to the tea.
 
Yesterday I made watermelon daiquiris from the rest of the watermelon. It made 4 daiquiris which I froze for later. Might have to sample them this weekend. Last year I used a whole watermelon and it took me all summer to drink them as hubby doesn't go for the frooty tooty drinks.

Then have 911 standing by!:playful:
 
Mine is simple and it's winter or summer. Tall Gin and tonic, Lotta ice, lime twist. On the days where I do drink a beer, it's Miller high life in the bottle.
