Great minds! Definitely best drink of the summer. Don’t ever go to Miami and tell them you cant taste the liquor in them lol, I had to be carried back to the hotel.
Mai tai is for more formal events.
I prefer naked and famous if there aren’t visitors.
(I know basically nothing about drinks beyond a few names that have stuck with me. So I used Wikipedia to find that basically nothing was going to work as well for the pun as “mai tai” did.)
Frozen daiquiri.
If not available (or feeling too lazy to make my own), just a good bourbon on the rocks (or even better, neat with a chaser on the rocks).
@phendrick Katrina caused Houston to inherit and embrace many transplants from Nawlins, and we now have drive-through dacquiri places. (And we have some excellent jazz venues, too.)
Fruity Pleaser.
A pint glass with ice
Fill halfway with orange juice
Fill another quarter of the way with cranberry juice
Glug in some vodka
Add a little 7-Up
Enjoy.
I always wanted to try an aperol spritzer, it just sounded good. I saw it on a menu New Orleans and got so excited. It wasn’t very good, I can’t remember exactly what it tasted like ( I drank a lot) I think it was very sour. What I did like that I tried was pimms cup, very refreshing on a hot day.
Told you yesterday already!

@Star2236
I would never tell them that - I’m such a lightweight!
@Kyeh @Star2236 Adding my mind to this drinking circle.
An Arnold Palmer,
When you can’t decide between iced tea or lemonade, mix the two!
Add vodka for an extra spiked chill.
@lonocat Never understood how he gets credit for something I was drinking before I heard of him.
@lonocat @yakkoTDI He had better marketing and a less aromatic trunk.
@lonocat @werehatrack The marketing part makes sense. I was kind of poor back then.
Mai Tai
@hchavers My tie is for more formal events.
[insert clever pun]is for casual relaxation.Okay, maybe I’ve got it:

Homemade Iced Tea
Piña Colada gelatin shots. Pineapple gelatin, coconut rum.
Fruity Pleaser.

Gin and Tonic all summer long.
I make what I call a Phil Collins, which is a Tom Collins but with peach instead of lime.
A Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster!
Is ice cold beer a cocktail?
Because that’s what to have on a hot day.
@2many2no It is in the South!
@2many2no @hchavers Beer cocktails are a thing too
A favorite throughout the galaxy… a ginnan tonixx
Huckleberry lemon drop

@Star2236 So you did go on that New Orleans trip, it sounds like? Was it fun?
a good bourbon, neat, for sippin’
Tom collins, G&T, or a mojito. Paloma is also a nice summer cocktail.
Adult lemonade or a spiked iced tea. Gin & tonic is a close third.
Frozen strawberry or peach dacquiri or frozen strawberry 'rita, no salt.
A really good mock-tail.
i really like Pineapple with a little Cherry juice.
