Favorite summer (beach) cocktails?

It's always noon somewhere!

They are kind of healthy, you know with the pineapple juice and orange juice.;-)

Coronas on the beach...in cups of course. Then cosmos in the evening....then, bed.

Summertime means you need a light and refreshing drink.
On a hot summer day after the beach, for me there is nothing better than a made-from-scratch Mojito. You can mess around with this recipe a bit, use baker's sugar, or sugar syrup, more lime juice, whatever.
It's easy and it's delicious.
Just don't use a mix (ugh.) Fresh limes, fresh mint. Ahh, rummy goodness.

Mojito
The National Drink of Cuba - Here's to you Fidel!
1 1/2oz. Light Rum
1 oz. Lime Juice
1 tsp. Sugar
3-4 Mint Leaves
Club Soda

Combine lime juice, mint and sugar in a Collins or highball glass.
Stir gently to bruise the mint.
Fill glass 3/4 with ice.
Add the rum.
Top with soda. Stir well.

There's nothng like a shot of chilled vodka, any decent (i.e, Russian, East European, or Scandinavian) brand, on a hot day, but Malibu & pineapple juice is good, too.

What happened to the Napoleon Dynamite 'tar?

I have the computer skills, but not the artistic skills (or nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, ...).

Actually, back to the thread, my husband and I developed a great margarita recipe last summer at the beach, but we drank so many that we don't remember the recipe. :funn:

PINKS for me but not on the beach - saving those for the porch!!!

I'm interested - what are blue drinks?

And I haven't had a Mojito in a while - maybe I should go for it - great summer drink!!!
