Summer Cocktails

[relapse98 634]

I'm on a huge paloma kick currently and on a mission to get the rest of the world on the same.

1 part ruby red grapefruit juice

1 part tequila

1/2 part simple syrup

1/2 part lime juice

Mix those up and then when ready to serve, serve over ice and then top with however much Tapo Chico you prefer.

 

So freaking refreshing, easy way to get drunk.

We have been drinking those lately, but cheat and use Jarritos grapefruit soda.  They are damn good.

Ranch waters. Republic lime juice. Tequila. Topo.  Salt and a lime slice. 

I've been doing these for the last week.

I go with two shots of tequila, 1 shot of orange liqueur, 2 shots of lime juice, and a cup of Topo.

That’s not a Paloma.

That stuff is the nectar of the gods.  Tequila and vodka both go great with it.

[MAROON 445]

Dark Rum (think Zacapa, Flor de Cana, or even Myers), Tonic, Lime.  It's the tits.

A paloma is great for the summer, as is a negroni.

One drink that I think gets overlooked in general, but especially as a summer cocktail, is a nice Tom Collins - they're incredibly refreshing.

1.5 oz gin
1 oz simple syrup (or see lazy method below)
3/4 oz lemon juice

Combine, then pour over ice and top with a couple ounces of sparkling water. You can fancy it up with a cherry (a nice one, not the fluorescent red shit) and citrus peel.

If you're too lazy to make a batch of simple syrup to keep in the fridge, just add 1/2 oz water and 1/2 oz sugar, then shake before pouring over the ice.

Summer time is gin time.

 

I'm pretty much 100% G&T or Negroni in the summer.

 

A great gin I found for these drinks in the UK is Gunpowder Irish Gin. Amazingly, the Virginia ABC starting carrying it this year, I had been ordering it from Britain.

ok? http://www.chewoutloud.com/2018/05/01/grapefruit-paloma-cocktail-recipe/

[ERhine 1,907]

And you’re wrong, as is the random blog you linked, if you believe a Paloma includes grapefruit juice.

That cocktail may be great, and it’s fine if you enjoy them, but you can’t just call it something it is not.

[HenryJames 66,171]

This is not 'Nam. There are rules.

[elfenix 34,332]

a paloma is a highball anyway, and OP specifically stated "cocktail"

A Whiskey Rebellion is nice when it's warm:

1 ounce of Pimm’s #1, 1 ounce of rye, ¾ ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice and ¾ ounce of simple syrup. Shake with ice, pour into glass over ice. 

[huge 3,795]

Haven’t been through the whole thread but I’ve been enjoying Old Pals.

Rye
Campari
Dry Vermouth

Bottle of stoli.  Dump out 3 ounces.  Fill bottle with lime juice.  Store in freezer.  Ready when needed.

While I agree with you in principle, he did say stoli.

I don't dump it out the window.  I dump it into a glass.

Only problem with Jarritos is that I have to hide them from my boys or I won't have any left.

I'll also recommend the Central Market grapefruit Italian soda for Palomas, if you want to fancy-pants it up.

[ernest_t_bass 1,196]

Topo Chico + Cranberry Juice.  

(Any plain sparkling water will do, but TC is topps)

My bad

[Big_kat 334]

I admit, I am into bitch drinks. 

Malibu and mountain dew. I call it a malidew or a redneck snow cone. The coconut and sweetness taste like summer.

[ERhine 1,907]

[irishtexan 11,522]

I’ll get fucked up on a trailer trash paloma of rot gut tequila and squirt. Throw some lime juice out of the green squeeze bottle and some Mexican red drink seasoning and you’re all set

Glad to see you here, Mrs. Coachkiss.

[Buzzrock 14,941]

I've been doing these for the last week.
I go with two shots of tequila, 1 shot of orange liqueur, 2 shots of lime juice, and a cup of Topo.

Just mixed up my first one of these. Juice of a whole lime, shot and a half of silver tequila, topo chico (I don’t like salt on drinks). Hot damn that is tasty.

Splash of grand mariner didn’t really improve it. Fine with me.

I used to adore the Deep Eddy grapefruit, but damn cholesterol meds mean no more of that.

Which one do you take? I'm on crestor and I don't have a problem with grapefruit based drinks. My usual summer drink is Fresca and vodka with a lime. Fresca is supposed to have grapefruit in it and I've never had a problem. Even straight grapefruit juice doesn't bother me.
