[JoPh]

----------------------

--

alright. we got two winners.

i am going with the suggested passion fruit rum and pink lemonade and i am going to try lemoncello with watermelon juice that i found on the internet.

let the drinking begin.

 

[mugs]

Lemonade? Iced tea?

 

[Manuwell]

Cold water + slice of lemon/orange

 

[clamum]

Cold beer is always a good choice. Mmmm cold Budweiser.

Otherwise, iced tea (brown or green) is always good.

Water
Iced tea w/just a pinch of sugar
Powerade Option

 

[AreaCode707]

Iced tea or sangria.

[edit to match your topic edit]

Sangria or a rose wine.

 

[Agentbolt]

Vanilla milk

I'm guessing you'll be pretty drunk by the time the 8th hour rolls around.

I vote for the sangria

I was distressed by the reference to Oprah.com until I saw 8 oz of vodka.

I am appeased.

I don't think you can use "beer" and "Budweiser" in the same sentence and you definitely can't use the phrase "mmmm cold budweiser"


There are no "light and refreshing" alcoholic beverages that are good for 8 hour binges. Anything that tastes light and refreshing will hide the alcohol content, you'll drink too much and knock yourself on your ass inside an hour. I've seen it happen 1000 times with fruity, refreshing summer drinks.

Make weak gin & tonics. Those are crisp on a hot day and if you make then at half strength they taste almost the same, but you can have a lot of them.

Pimms.

Malibu coconut rum and POG. (pineapple or passion fruit, orange, and guava juices) Mix to the strength you prefer, (Malibu isn't very strong by itself)...pour over ice...light and refreshing.

Another summer favorite for me, is grapefruit juice and tequila...quenches the thirst as it gives you a buzz...

Haha, well Budweiser is a beer, and it is good cold.

 

[Feldenak]

Mojito

 

[Parasitic]

Long Island iced tea?

Edit: or something like rum and coke would do.

Malibu Passionfruit Rum & Pink Lemonade = awesome summer drink

It's friggin awesome! I use Minute-maid pink lemonade with about 1.5 to 2oz of the passionfruit rum. Give it a gentle stir and drop in a couple ice cubes.

Mint Julip
