When it comes to cocktails, I am almost exclusively a bourbon guy.  Problem is, that's not the best for the summer.

What are some of your favorite cocktails and recipes for a hot summer day?

Pimm's Cup.  You can get fancy with the fruit garnishes if you like, but all you really need is Pimm's No. 1, some ginger ale and a couple slices of cucumber.

I mostly end up with Gin and Tonics (you can make them fancy with different fruits) and Moscow Mules. 

If you wanted a Bourbon drink I find a Blackberry Smash refreshing. 

Bourbon drinks are good for hot days.

How is a mint julep not refreshing?

Also, I like a Stone Fence. The lady at the tigress makes one with ginger beer, cider, bourbon and bitters and it tastes like bourbon flavored soda.

Deep Eddy Lemon. Long pours. Ice. Splash of soda. Float the river. 

Margaritas and mojitos

Captain and Ginger Ale over ice, thank you.

Equal parts grey goose, club soda and sprite mix over ice with 5 or 6 lemon wedges

I use mezcal but ranch Waters are awesome

Ranch Water is the answer. Zepol and Johnny Sack are correct. I would also add Ramos Gin Fizz, but most people dont wanna go through the trouble or dont know what it is

 

I am a fiend for margaritas and mojitos tho. Although I also dont think 2 ingredient drinks should be considered “cocktails”

This was basically our go to for afternoons in the pool. Used pyrat instead of a spiced rum - and may drop in some lime or mint if it's around.  

Just a lighter version of a Dark and Stormy.  In the middle of a particularly good afternoon we renamed them Partly Cloudies. 

Marga-damn-rita. 

Although last week was "random bullshit rum/vodka/gin in the bar that needs to be emptied" punch.

Vodka lime juice and ginger kombucha in a tall insulated tumbler

Caipirinha is a good and easy one, too.  Lime, muddled with simple syrup, fill glass with ice, fill with Cachaca, stir.

Vodka tonic with lemon

Hendricks Gin and tonic

Cubra Libre

Vodka & lavender lemonade with our without a splash of tonic.

Cocunut vodka (or rum) Fresh Oj and a splash of Tonic. I call it an "escape form the family"

Fucking amateurs. Throw a party and make a giant punch bowl full of Skip and Go Nekkid, have wife/girlfriend invite many wives/girlfriends over. A couple gallons of lemonade, a sixer of pilsner, a liter of vodka or everclear (if you have the balls), throw in a little gin, mix all together and you’ve got yourself a party. Do not let anyone drive home.

I was going to recommend the same, but peach instead of blackberry, especially in Central Texas.

A real daiquiri like Hemingway drank. Not the strawberry or other pretend daiquiri.

no don't use a teenager's "rum"

Good mixer dark rum ( I like Gosling's), small wedge of lime, lots of cracked ice, diet ginger beer (I like Barritt's)

 

if you want to watch the world burn use white over-proof Wray &Nephew 

Chilton.  Juice of one lemon, double shot of vodka, soda water, salted rim of glass.

Yep.  We add some lemonade to it too.  Makes for a nice crisp, refreshing summer drink.

I also drink Tito's and lemonade or limeade in the summer.

Deep Eddy Grapefruit...pour it long

7 Up

Couple or three dashes of Tabasco

Yep. Throw some grapefruit juice in there sometimes if I'm feeling fancy

Caipirinhas are fantastic, and also on several of my fabeorite Bourdain episodes.  

 

My go go to drink during the heat are caipirinhas, or gin with muddled lemon and topped with Topo/Peligrino/Perrier.   Super simple and damned refreshing.  

Gin Buck: Cut a lemon into quarters; squeeze one of these into a highball glass, then drop the squeezed lemon quarter into the glass.  Add jigger of gin (I find Gordon's works best).  Drop in 4 or more ice cubes and top off with Canada Dry ginger ale.  Extremely refreshing--the combination of bitter gin, acidic lemon, and the slight sweetness of the ginger ale is synergistic.

Tanqueray makes a better martini, but it's cousin Gordon's is better here.

It is mentioned in my drink book The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks and was ordered in a speakeasy in the Cagney/Bogart film "The Roaring Twenties."

I'm a Beefeater 24 man. Sometimes ya gotta use regular Beefeaters, sometime ya gotta use Gordon's.  

Try Death's Door London dry gin. Very versatile. Distillate: red winter wheat, corn, malted barley. Botanicals: coriander, fennel seeds, wild juniper from Washington Island. That's how it gets the kind of dramatically dumb Death's Door name. Washington Island is off the Door County (they leave off the death part to encourage tourism) peninsula in the Porte des Mortes (Door of the Dead). Many French ships sank in the strait sailing to Baie Verte (Green Bay).

Not a big fan of ice in my drink. I prefer straight up martinis. If it's a warm afternoon I will make the trip to Sonic or buy a block of ice at the liquor store and chop into large chunks. Have not graduated to Japanese bartender level.

Rum Swizzles are equally dangerous.

Prepare a 50/50 mix of gold and dark rum, and a 50/50 mix of orange and pineapple juice.

Mix two parts juice to one part rum.

Add a little grenadine for color and a few dashes angostura bitters to taste.

Delicious and will get you shitfaced in a hurry.
  • 4 weeks later...

Elixer. One part vodka, one part Rain cucumber vodka, 1/2 part Braggs apple cider vinegar with the mother, 4 parts water and ice.  Braggs is good for the joints ect.

Sounds like crap, but give a few a try.

 

Grayhound, I add a couple dashes of bitters to the top.

Kalimotxo is pretty good on a hot day. 1/2 coke and 1/2 cheap red wine. Serve with a lemon wedge. Tastes like sangria.

My go to is pretty simple.

- Deep Eddy Grapefruit vodka

- 1 fresh squeezed lime

- Topo Chico

- Ice

It's great in the summer...
