One of my new favorites is Junior Johnsons midnight moonshine. The apple is pretty good.

[asquared]

Also Smirnoff ice the grape and the green apple arey favorites.

Another good one is watermelon vodka and cranberry juice. Tastes like a jolly rancher.

dH makes whiskey sours.

I'm going to have to try the watermelon and cranberry. Sounds really yummy!
I tried a new one tonight. Diet Mountain Dew and Sugar Free Berry Margarita. Needed to dilute the margarita and it turned out pretty tasty. I was pleasantly surprised.
Another easy one I like a lot is Skinny lime Margarita with a splash of coconut rum....makes me think I'm in the Caribbean!

I kind of like fuzzy bellybuttons - peachtree schnapps and O.J. on ice then we like to make Jello shots for special occations around the campfire passing them around. (recipes online) We make several different flavors and around the fire at night it's fun to guess which ones you have. The only drawback is toward the end of the night your aim gets bad and you have to clean up the fire pit area lol

A good 12 year old single malt Scotch neat. Pregame would be Red hook you Long Hammer IPA.

Or a good martini. Vicking Fijord. Good potato vodka Stored, orway. Distilled 6 times. Little olive juice. Shine a light through a vermouth bottle. Stired, not shaken. No bruised vodka.

I prefer a quality Ky bourbon on the rocks. Buffaloe Trace is my stadard but also go for Town Branch, Woodford Reserve, Elmer T Lee and Four Roses..dern..im thirsty

[aspengirl]

Gin and Sparkling Cranberry Juice is pretty refreshing on a hot summer day!

I have perfected my Bahamian Rum Punch so much that everyone who has it is hooked and wants the following recipe:

Patrick's Bahamian Rum Punch

2 shots parrot bay coconut rum
1 packet crush strawberry drink mix
3 ounces simply orange juice
3 ounces simply lemonade with raspberry
4 ounces dole pineapple juice (best from 6oz can)
Jigger of lime
Jigger of lemon
4 ounces water
Serve over crushed ice

Makes 16oz. drink

We also make vodka and simply lemonade with raspberry quick cocktails

My wife doesn't like but I love Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum & Coke Zero on ice!


Great ideas here! We must get a Margaritaville Machine!!!

As soon as I get where I'm going and set up camp, out comes the bloody Marys... I have my own lil' recipe I make with vegetable juice, whats-this-here sauce, lime juice, hot sauce and celery salt, and plenty of vodka (da, comrade). Drink a toast to the sunset: "May the ground rise up and meet ye!"

In the morning, the ladies will usually drink Mimosas (champagne and OJ), but I prefer a Bug Juice Sunrise- Bombay Sapphire gin, OJ, and a splash of grenadine (or better yet, Pat O'Briens Hurricane mix).

For summer, I like to freeze watermelon chunks. Once frozen, drop in a blender with a little lime juice, a little sugar, and as much vodka as you like. Blend and enjoy!

For winter time, I like red wine with brandy in it, or hot mulled mead!

I believe it was OC (?) who made lemonchello for the Goshen get together.

I researched and got a recipe and intend to make some of it soon.

Oh no, that honor goes to Herk. From what I was told, it was very good. Herk is a master at it and wine making.

Jim Beam & Diet Coke for me, Cosmo's for DW.

And on many occasions, we break out the cordless Margaritaville blender! That baby lives full time in the Roo.

Ooops! A senior moment on my part.

Everyone bragged about that drink so much I *had* to find a recipe for it!

It's a process for sure, but sounds like it's worth it!

We make it all the time, It is the only way I use up all the lemons that grow on our Lemon tree.
I,m Italian and my mom used to make it all the time.
Try it on bread pudding with a little vanilla ice cream

[MagnoliaTom]

Tanqueray and Tonic is our beverage of choice. 7 & 7 is our back up
