Favorite summer drink?

[jinman]

Speaking of summer drinks, my wife and I have discovered smoothies. Some places make them more like slushes, but there is a place called Jamba Juice that makes terrific smoothies. We also make them at home. We buy the mix and then get creative with additions. Yesterday afternoon after mowing the lawn, I mixed up two pina colada smoothies and added about 1-1/2 cups of fresh pineapple before blending. When fully blended, it was very cold and smooth. Yum! I may do that again and add a little rum for an extra zip.

Moss, no on the organ transplant...but, I could use a hair transplant! It's one of my blood pressure or cholesterol drugs...have to ask the Doc again which one. I guess I blocked it out as I've never been a big grapefruit fan anyway...more of the 2 eggs over easy, fried in butter with sausage or bacon with toast, butter and jelly. Did I mention I take cholesterol drugs?

MMmmmm..... buttered bacon sandwiches!!!! :laughing:

That's pretty much what the Bacardi mixes are... frozen like O.J. You just pop it in a blender full of ice, add 1/2 can (or more) of rum and blend. You get great frozen drinks in a hurry. You can dress them up with your favorite fruits, garnishes, etc...

No. But a nice Guiness float is good occasionally

Anyone take ice cold root beer in a large frozen mug and drop in 2-3 shots of root beer schnapps? Maybe drop in a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream, too? Hmmm? Anyone???

Here's a hint on how that tastes... :licking:

Glad to see the beer guys being creative. When I bicycled through Ireland many summers ago a favorite drink of the locals at lunch was half and half Guiness and cream. I thought it sounded pretty revolting but it wasn't half bad. Kind of like an unsweetened float.
