        Maragaritas are always welcome. Hmm, Saturday afternoon, sitting on the patio, Margarita in hand, bar-b-que sizzling away, balmy 90 degrees in the shade... Yeah, I love summer in California! And I grew rather fond of Tequila Sunrise while vacationing in Cozumel last year (but it might have been the free bar, rather than the drink itself :cool: )

            I'm not sure if a gin and tonic is a cocktail but boy do I love that drink. Mojito comes in close second though.

              G&T. Good gin, but not great - Tanqueray is my usual. Now and then, i like a martini - this does warrant top-shelf gin though. Other simple favorites: bourbon and cranberry juice, manhattan, yellow cake martini (not actually anything close to a martini, but a good not-too-sweet fruity drink), and the venerable mint julep (but only if made with fresh mint, and easy on the sugar). My wife likes mojitos.

                Without a doubt, one of the tastiest beverages to have, but the absolute worst to drink to intoxication because your hangover is the absolute worst. Its not just bad, its insanely and abysmally bad.

                      When you've had a sufficient amount of alcohol, before you get drunk you get a sense of euphoria termed the "buzz". Its great. So.. Mr. Buzz Killing-ton... get it? Someone that kills your buzz.

                          We had wild mint bushes growing outside our house last summer. We'd get home from work, I'd break out the rum and we'd sit mixing cocktails in the sun on our deck chairs with fresh mint. Only thing that comes close is a beer on a boat while fishing on a hot summers day.

                                Doesn't it just ruin the apple juice? Vodka and apple juice would be better... sort of... :) (I only drink bourbon if I am very drunk and then only if even the Budweiser has been finished. A drink of last resort.)

                                    Is that name an ironic reference to Yellow Cake Uranium?

                                      We had wild mint bushes growing outside our house last summer. We'd get home from work, I'd break out the rum and we'd sit mixing cocktails in the sun on our deck chairs with fresh mint. Only thing that comes close is a beer on a boat while fishing on a hot summers day.

                                      Yeah, i keep mint plants growing around my house; they're tasty... and really, really hard to kill, even if i go a week without looking up from my computer screen to water them. Good for sun tea as well as the mixers. And chiffonade mint sprinkled on a dollop of sour cream atop a creamy bowl of lentil stew is fantastic...

                                        I used to like Madras (cranberry-orange-vodka) but lately I have been into margaritas over the rocks.
