I am not a fruity drink guy. But every year when I go to the beach, I always have to get one fruity drink, and that is a strawberry pina colada. I usually drink one of those the first day I am there to get my mindset of relaxation, and then I sit on the beach and drink as much beer as I can drink without moving from my chair on the beach. There is nothing better than drinking beer on the beach...

Oh, I do like to have a margarita on the rocks when I frequent mexican resturants.

Bourbon and water!

Ok, it's a fruity drink but will hit you hard, but I honestly love "Screaming Blue Motherfuckers" made with 151.

Where's AWK?  This thread is perfect for him.

Not a fruity tooty drink guy either but one in particular that's perfect for kickin' back in a tropical atmosphere.  Coconut Rum and Pineapple Juice.  Simple and mighty tasty.

It's good stuff.  Teh Wiki's informed me that it's a Jamaican dark rum that's slightly sweeter due to molasses being an ingredient.

Speaking of, I will be at that very resort with the wife, child, and two friends (girlfriend/boyfriend & childless) next week, Thursday-Sunday, on a little vay-cay.

We should hook it up like a tow truck.

Holla atcha boy.

Will do.  Thinking of a little golf action too...so far it's just me and the other guy, and we could use a third.  Perhaps on Friday or Saturday.  You'll hear from me early to mid next week.

Uhhh...yeah...now I'm definitely holla-ing.

     I've found myself hooked on Bud Light with Lime lately.  I've been trying to decide how gay it is.  I know it's not as gay as Heineken, but I'm thinking it's still pretty high up there on the gay meter.  Unfortunately, I've pretty much decided I'll let people call me gay, it's good stuff.
     I also like a good margarita.  I used to by different mixes, triple sec, grenadine, sweet and sour, trying to get them just right.  I finally decided you can't hardly beat just using a can of frozen limeade, a splash of orange juice, and as much tequila as you can stand in a blender with ice.

Neither Bud Light Lime nor Heiney are ghey.  Don't you ever hesitate to plant your lips on a Heiney.  Be proud and tell everyone around you how much you enjoy it.

Juicy Lucy

Amaretto
Creme de coconut
Captain Morgan's Coconut Rum

I am a chick, so I am allowed teh frooty ones.  I have also been known to drink the Captain's Coconut straight, on the rocks, until I passed out.  Maybe.  I don't really remember.

IMO?  The best margaritas are made with an entire fresh lime squeezed over the ice first (I am a rocks/no salt girl), with more fresh limes used in the mix.  Artificial lime flavors are inadequate.  I also prefer a splash of OJ to triple sec - and would never use sweet and sour.
Title: Re: Your Favorite Fruity Summer Drink
Post by: Aubie16 on May 23, 2009, 02:46:17 AM
The best margaritas are made with three ingredients.

Tequilla (preferably Margaritaville Silver), Cointreau, and lime juice.

My wife keeps that made up in the summertime.
I like my minted tea and bourbon.
I put 6 tea bags and a handfull of fresh mint in a 10 cup coffee carafe. Add water to coffee maker and let it run. This tea will be strong and dark like coffee. As soon as the water has all ran through, pour this tea into a glass container after removing the mint and the bags.
Mix with your favorite bourbon in a glass with ice cubes.

I agree with you. Bud Light Lime is a good beer. I like darker beers, but after you finish cutting the grass, or when you are by the pool out in the sun, Bud Light and Bud Lite Lime are the way to go...

I don't like any of the other lime beers, but I am hooked on the Bud Lite version...

Try Bud Lite Lime mixed with spicy climata juice.  You can find this juice at wally world.  Mix it about half and half, then enjoy.  My spanish neighbors got me hooked on this stuff.
