Summer Drinks

 

I’m not a hot-weather person, though I do enjoy summer. I love lakes and oceans; I love tourist towns; and I love sitting outside with a book and a fun drink in the evening on my back patio or with friends.

I enjoy a crisp white wine in the summer, but I also love my “fun” drinks. Rum Runners are my favorite, but I like to make my own concoctions as well.

I first had a Rum Runner on vacation in Lake George, NY, at a fun place (no longer open) called King Neptune’s.

Have you had one? They’re AMAZING. My husband makes them at home. If you’d like the recipe, click HERE.

I usually put my “fun” drinks together, consisting of white rum, coconut rum, banana liquor (if I have it), some juice (I love Pineapple Orange Guava), and a squirt of grenadine. Or, if I only have one type of rum, I'll put that over ice with some juice (and grenadine).

Sometimes I’ll have a simple drink using gin and some sweet and sour mix (Hannaford sells it!) and top it off with club soda (all over ice, of course).

I also love to make margaritas (not frozen) but that’s a tricky one!!

What are some of your favorite summer drinks?
