Nothing is as good as fresh squeezed lemonade in the summer. We also make this drink we call "orange stuff". :wah: Tastes like you are drinking an orange push up. Yummy!

fresh lemonade is good!:guitarist:guitarist

Beer in a frost covered mug, unsweetened iced tea, ice water.

The same as the Winter ones, with the possible exception of cocoa.

Gotta go with Peg on this one.

Fresh squeezed lemonade is refreshing and very summery.

For those with a wild side try an orange slice in your Sprite.

Its sassy !

If I were you guys Id water board me.

Whil;e in Africa I was intrduced to the Malawi Shandy. Non alcoholic and very refreshing



In a pint mug one would add a dash of orange cordial (enough as if you were making a pint of squash) - dashes of Angostura bitters. Fill with ice and then pour in equal measures ginger beer and ginger ale to within 2inches of the top - then add lemonade, stir and serve. It has more bite, but is as said very refreshing on a hot sticky day... A great summer cooler.

Otherwise just an ice cold Ginger Beer

Plain old water for me, but it has to be ice cold.

Erm, hang on, old top, isn't Angostura Bitters very alcoholic indeed (yes, I know it's only a drop or five), and ginger beer slightly alcoholic, being a fermented drink (did you know that it's quite easy to brew ginger beer up to worthwhile levels of alcohol?) ? So "non-alcoholic" is an imprecise description?

Hand squeezed strawberry lemonade with vodka

Okay, Okay!

You caught me out...



GROG!

There! Are you happy now???



(Grog = Irish Creme)

(Yar, matey. i'm an IRISH pirate. )

I can't remember, what is a hot summer like again??

It has been so long since we have had one here, so just like in the winter.. a nice cup of tea.

Realistically, your right but traditionally, bitters have been used in soft drinks.The ginger beer bought nowadays is very rarely alcoholic. Your average can of Jamaican ginger beer is certainly non alcoholic

I am drawn to a ginger beer with a worthwhile level of alcahol though. That intrigues me. I've never come across it

I've gotten a bit hooked on the new Lipton Sparking green tea. Berry flavored is my favorite. It's really good and fizzy. Plus, I hear that green tea is good for ya too.

You too can make this stuff. You too can fall off your bicycle on the way to the pub. It doesn't take long to make. It doesn't need to stand and become clear like ordinary beer (in fact, it's better if it doesn't!).

Only "ICE COLD" Water, with tons of ice, doesn't leave an after taste!

We made shandys here Snowfire. They're lovely on a hot, summer's day.



We mix a light ale....like a Smithwicks or Sam Adams summer ale, some sugar, ginger ale and bit of lemon.

pina coladas

Chocolate milk is my all season favorite but on a hot summer day there's nothing like ice cold water.:-6

ohhhhhhhh Neilsons choc milk, now I want some sis!:-5:-5

Right now, at this very moment, I would love to be in a smoky bar filled with happy, friendly people. The juke box playing Hank Williams Sr. and a barmaid serving me up a big frosty mug of beer with a shot of JD and a smile.

I love a cold Smithwicks or Sam Adams Ale in a frosty glass on a hot, summer's day.

Yeah, but they outlawed smoking in bars and nary a soul around here has been happy lately.

yeah they did here to and it sucks.:-5:-5

sure could use an ice cold lemonade

sitting at 35C?

anything!:-5:-5

When I was a kid I would go around to all the beer cans sitting around the parlor and chug down the remnants. Until I chugged one with cigar ashes in it. Probably my drunk uncle's.:yh_sick

Always classic cola, with tons of ice, or a cold Smithwicks in a frozen glass Odie:-6

frozen glasses are the best!

never much liked cola's, but I do love root beer.

Fresh ice lemon water, its so refreshing and calorie free, on hot summer days,yes we do get a few of them not above plus 30 Celsius and only for about a week in around mid July. We get about six Months of winter where I live. So when summer arrives we look forward to feeling a bit of heat. To bad we can't trap some of it ,would save on our heating bills. LOL

Okay WATER!!! with ice of course .none of that po-ur stuff for me .

apparently it has all the ingredients to make you feel cool * shrugs*

is someone on a rant today?:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Iced freshly made lemonade or Iced Chocolate would be the choice for me !

I like Ice Tea, but last summer was introduced to the frappiccino's (not sure of spelling) and liked those as well.

That is when I use to live in a place that would have summers... here it is still hot tea.
