Just going on a supermarket run and thinking about some nice drinks for the weekend. Fancying a fruity cocktail like the sort you might have around the pool on your usual (before Covid) foreign holidays. A mai tai, or a mojito maybe. What are your favourites? ?
This thread has made me thirsty, my favourites are traditional G+T lots of ice and lemon. Prosseco Really cold white wine. Just off to quench my thirst!
Today my favourite drink is Pimms, with lemonade, ice, fresh mint and a sliced strawberry. Perfect on a warm day - and I’m having one in the garden right now ?
Ooh pina colada. Preferably drunk on a catamaran outside Bridgetown harbour. Happy memories! Failing that I was introduced to Aperol spritzer by dear friends yesterday . Looks like Irn Bru but tastes divine in the sunshine. ?
Rhubarb gin with cold tonic water and icecubes. Pimms with lemonade and mint and ice cubes Any cold white wine ( although it has to be Villa Maria) Caustons rhubarb and apple fizz with ice cubes Cold filtered water with a slice of lemon and ice cubes ( as you can see, we get through a lot of ice cubes.)?
As an aside, do ice cubes last forever? I’ve just had to ditch the remainder of one of those huge bags full from the freezer to fit in the frozen bits of our latest online shop. We thought it was maybe just as well as neither of us could remember how many years ago we bought it.
I don't drink alcohol very often and pretty much stick to Porter beer (never cold) when I do but I love Swimming World's Fake Pimms which is diet lemonade with Balsamic Vinegar, mint and fruit. It sounds disgusting but I can drink it by the litre and really enjoy it.
Very cold white wine with soda, Icy cold gin and tonic, Campari and soda, Recently, sister in law and I put away two bottles of champagne -her treat. Not usually such a lush but hadn't seen each other for months.
Absolut vodka, from freezer, v cold fever tree tonic, slice of lemon, and frozen tonic ice cubes. Had one yesterday, and I might have to have another now! The sun is shining, and is over the Plimsoll line...
