What is your favourite drink (non alcholic included). Me I like to take my magic bullet, milk,

[applegrove]

cocoa and sugar twin and mix them all together. I get a low cal milkshake that way.

1. A Mint Julep

With or without alcohol. It just has such a refreshing taste.

[applegrove]

2. How do you make a mint julep? Is it lemon juice and mint sprigs and sugar?

[Angel]

28. It is an easy recipe, you can add alcohol to these if you want.

I use Kentucky Whiskey occasionally.

* 1/4 cup water
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
* 2 cups crushed ice
* 1/2 cup prepared lemonade
* Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish



1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar and 1 tablespoon of chopped mint. Stir and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar has dissolved, then remove from heat and set aside to cool. After about an hour, strain out mint leaves.
2. Fill 2 cups or frozen goblets with crushed ice. Pour 1/2 of the lemonade into each glass and top with a splash of the sugar syrup.

3. non-alcoholic pina colada

with extra Coco Lopez, the stuff tastes like coconut flavored eagle brand milk aaaaahhhh.......

[canoeist52]

20. My favorite too. We add pureed ice so the straw stands up.

Major head freeze!

[woo me with science]

35. I like this better than what I was about to post.

vanilla milkshake

[marzipanni]

4. In the summer,

my grandma's combination- Iced tea with lemon (or a dollop of frozen lemonade concentrate), ginger ale, and a sprig of fresh mint. Refreshing!

[Kali]

5. lightly sweetened but strongly brewed ice tea

:9

[TK421]

6. I make the best! I could ship it to you!

come on....times are tough here!

[struggle4progress]

7. Iced coffee: that is, ice cubes, a touch of very strong coffee, and some skim milk.

And maybe a small scoop of chocolate ice cream in it, if necessary

[Art_from_Ark]

8. Hawaii's Own (TM) passion fruit juice

There's a reason why it's called "passion fruit"

[KamaAina]

23. Actually, it's called "liliko'i"

but yeah. 'Ono!

[6000eliot]

9. Latte. I make my own.

[pink-o]

10. I'm an agnostic, but coffee could make me believe there is a God...

However, this is a cool drink/snack that I partake in a lot: You peel ripe bananas, break them into little pieces and freeze them. Then you throw them in a blender w/milk or soy milk, protein powder and the fresh fruit of your choice. (I like strawberries, but pineapple/blueberry is delish as well) Great smoothie, and less calorific and far less sugars than Jamba Juice!

[BuddhaGirl]

29. I do the frozen banana thing with chocolate whey protein powder,

almond milk and a spoonful of peanut butter...YUM!! :9

[rurallib]

11. I am kind of jonesing on diet root beer these days

[raccoon]

12. Sweet tea. No question about it. nt

[Old Troop]

13. I guess I'm boring. I love ice-cold milk.

[ohiosmith]

In my near 50 years on this planet, nothing else has ever quite stacked up.

[applegrove]

16. I love them too.

[EOTE]

17. Don't the bits of the magic bullet get stuck in your teeth? NT

[applegrove]

19. LOL!

[EOTE]

21. Honestly though, Johnny Walker on the rocks. Black if I'm feeling fancy.

With a bit of Sprite if I want something a little sweeter. I'm typically not into very sweet cocktails, but the past weekend I had something that rocked my world. Sweet tea vodka and lemonade. It was the best half and half I've ever had. Something like that could be very dangerous in this heat, you just want to keep drinking it.

[Broken_Hero]

18. Mt. Dew, nt

[Taverner]

22. Orange Juice

I don't know if it's a real drink, it's just what we call it here.

Buttermilk and grape juice mixed together. Super refreshing, like a lassi.

[applegrove]

34. Sounds really good. That's it I am bookmarking this thread!

[grasswire]

36. Tanqueray, Schweppes tonic, with extra lime tall -- I'm fussy that way

[Bladian]

37. Monster Energy.

I don't care what's in it. Mmmmm.

[blogslut]

38. By standards of my personal intake

Next on the list would be, ginger ale, root beer, quinine tonic, red zinger tea, water with lemon and plain old water.

[DFW]

39. Apricot nectar

Hands down :-)

[WinkyDink]

40. Diet Coke with caffeine. Nectar of the gods.

sure of the ratio. I am making some for my dad.

[DinahMoeHum]

48. Jamaican sorrel iced tea. . .especially in the summertime.

You grate a good-sized knob of ginger,
mix with about 1/2 cup of dried hibiscus flowers (aka Jamaican/Caribbean sorrel),
add 1/2 gallon of water,
bring to a boil,
lower heat and simmer with some cracked allspice balls, cracked whole cloves, and a broken cinnamon bark for about 5 minutes,
turn off heat and let steep for at least a couple of hours,
strain, serve over ice with whatever sweetening you wish
you can also add some rum if you want

:9:9:9

53. "Rise" Vitamin Water

By Glaceau

The zero calorie kind. Tastes so much better than the "non-diet" kind.

[7wo7rees]

54. Coffee from Cafe du Monde

Doesn't really matter if chicory or not. I just know that if it's from them, I must be in New Orleans.
And then, a WHOLE lot of things don't matter anymore. :D
