Summer Cocktails

So we got the summer beer thread, but you can't drink beer all the time, what are some summery cocktails you know...

"Big-Kid Root Beer Floats"

3 shots Rumchada

Root Beer

Splash of Vodka

2 Shots Bacardi Dragonberry Rum

1 Cherry Pucker

Splash of Lemonade

Arizona Arnold Palmer Mix + Captain Morgan

Mojito

Margaritas

beer all time

Vodka Tampon

Drink

1 pt Beer

2 pts Can

Shake and eat.

I'm not sure if there's a name for this, but these are the things I had lying around, so I made this:

Bourbon

Grapefruit juice

Squeezed lemon

Quite refreshing [for someone that will drink pretty much anything].

Gordon Bennet

1 part gin (I used Tanqueray Export)

1 part Cointreau

top up with soda water

half squeezed lime

I only used small glasses so there wasn't much soda in each. Summery at the same time as blowing your head off.

That sounds quite good, I'm a bit averse to cointreau though after drinking an entire bottle last year. That stuff really isn't made to be drunk in quantity.

Here's one I invented called a "garden gimlet":

2 parts gin (cheap gin is fine)

1 part St. Germain elderflower liqueur

3 parts Roses lime cordial

Shake with ice, cocktail glass.

Gin + Tonic + Lime
