Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:03:21 Ok so whats the best summer tipple for a hot day?
I personally think a glass of white wine goes down well (Retsina my choice), as does a Gin (Bombay Sapphire) and Tonic with fresh lime. Anyone have any favourites? Title: Summer Drinks Post by: yeo on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:06:23 Strongbow in one of those funny 8 shaped pint glasses.

And I don't care what those marketing types tell you, it is just plain wrong to serve cider over ice. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:20:51 Pimms - yuummmmyy even though it sounds a bit posh
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Bushey Boy on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:22:05 I have a bottle of Pimms in my wine rack - not sure why!
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:29:27 Pint of Archer's Crystal Clear or Hopback Crop Circle.
Any apple cider Long Island Iced Tea Title: Summer Drinks Post by: dell boy on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:37:12 Quote from: "Jamiesfuturewife" Pimms - yuummmmyy even though it sounds a bit posh I love Pimms, very refreshing indeed. But Campari is my main summer drink with orange and lots of ice, nothing better when just sitting relaxing in the sun. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 09:39:28 Pimms is lovely but it takes ages to put all the mint, strawberries etc. in it!!!!!!!! Plus I find that I always drink it wayyy to fast. Its great if someone else is making it for you though 8)
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 10:36:02 I have just discovered the delights of vodka and blueberry juice slush puppies
8) Title: Summer Drinks Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 10:51:36 Pimms or Vodka, lemonade and lime :beers:
followed by sex on the beach :D Title: Summer Drinks Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 10:55:20 Anything I can get hold of at the moment.
Ideally possibly Ginger Sailor, Guinness, Red Wine or White Ace. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:02:13 Quote from: "Samdy Gray" What Yeovil said. And I don't care what those marketing types tell you, it is just plain wrong to serve cider over ice. Sorry but you cannot beat Kopperberg Pear. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:07:42 Just a nice cold Stella or when the little one is not around Southern comfort and lemonade
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:10:56 mmmmmm magners
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:12:54 my mate had jameson & lemonade tuther day, was lovely.
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:16:50 Whiskey and ginger ale is also a refreshing tipple...
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: DMR on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:34:25 Quote from: "oxford_fan" my mate had jameson & lemonade tuther day, was lovely. Anyone who ruins a a good Jamesons with lemonade needs a bit of a bollocking. Cold bottle of a crisp lager on a sunny day always does me. Preferably Peroni or Millers at the moment. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:35:57 Gin (Bombay Sapphire) and Tonic with fresh lime. Spot on Lady plus cider of any sort although more than two pints the sweet stuff is a bit much.
I love my vodka as well. A shot of Grey Goose from the freezer over straight over rocks or with Cranberry (don't mock ti'll you've tried it).

Title: Summer Drinks Post by: A Gent Orange on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:47:28 Matthew's Brassknocker or its is really hot Weston's Organic .
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 12:04:35 Beer.
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: land_of_bo on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 12:08:36 Glayva and Ginger Ale.
Hmmm Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 12:08:44 I'd probably have to say cider as it is often what I want to drink on a hot summers day, although most cold drinks do the trick

Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 12:31:33 Ginger beer is the best!
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 12:38:35 Real lemonade with Jack Daniels and ice.
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 14:01:30 only one choice, a ice cold pitcher of arc manatee, vodka, malibu, blue curaco lemonade and fresh lime
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Luci on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 14:03:21 Would have been nice without the Malibu!

they sell 40pt kegs of cider for £45. best thing is, they take u around and let you try all the different ciders before buying. we usually plum for the slightly cloudy effort called sheppys. dryish but with a sweet aftertaste and gets everyone battered, split it between 6 or 7 of you and its the perfect barbecue tipple before heading off out. there's this clear stuff called devilishly strong, fuck me it's mental. about 18% cider. ouchies. and dave for christ sake blended mass produced jamesons?? best thing for it is lemonade i say. bleurgh also good effort on the thread lady.

Good work.. its usually worth the effort to seek out and patronise small scale operators. I used to go to Bristhole a fair bit....and get cider from a fella down in the docks went by the name of Dixey....his best was Crippled Cock. 8) Also used to go to Much Marcle....before I knew about Fred West and get Weston's perry.....now I can't be arsed, just drink any old commercial shit. Title: Summer Drinks Post by: my-velocity on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 19:27:57 Corona for me...any light beer like fosters twist and that does me in this heat.
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Scot Munroe on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 19:43:24 Carlsberg for me. the drink is starting to grow on me. Also you can beat a nice cold drink of Irn Bru.
Title: Summer Drinks Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 19:50:27 Quote from: "Scot Munroe" Carlsberg for me. the drink is starting to grow on me. That's the best summer drink?! It's like fucking gnat's piss.

Title: Summer Drinks Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, May 14, 2008, 07:29:40 Hmmmmm, Irn Bru rules... good for hangovers too.
I've got a batch of Crippled Cock in my garage somewhere, it's really nice, but i ffel like shit the next day usually. Is there anywhere local i can pick up some good home made cider (as in no more than 20 minutes drive away)? |
