Gin and tonic.
Got a bottle of mid grade gin, some schweps, limes & ice.
It's finnaly starting to warm up around here this summer. Pittsburgh has seen 70's most of the season, and were getting in to the 80's now. It"s been a while since I enjoyed a gin & tonic on a hot day after work. One of my first jobs out of highschool was with a moving company in the summertime. It was a lot of sweating and hard labor. On payday the crew would go to the corner bar to cash our paychecks, and though I was underage the moving crew diddn't get questioned. We would drink gin and tonics in the AC on barstools and shoot the *****.

I northwestern Ohio it was up in the low 90's today. I put a couple of 471 IPA's in the freezer and then used them to cool down. Forecast is for mid-90's all week. WHY do I live here???? (but then I can not stand anything over 70)

Threadjack: What *exactly* is in a mojito; is it nothing more than rum and mint? Gluten-intolerant girlfriend would like to know, as if that is the full recipe, then it's fine; but there's always some nefarious grain product in many cocktails...

club soda crushed ice sugar syrup lime juice crushed fresh mint leaves rum I first had one at a trendy club downtown. It was freakin' delicious. They crusted the glass rim with sugar as well and plenty of ice and lots of mint leaves. Still the best one I've had. Have made them at home with mixed results, no pun intended. As far as gin, I also like Bombay Sapphire. They have a very cool website, btw - http://www.bombaysapphire.com/. Each time I drink it, it reminds me of that Men At Work lyric - "Lying in a den in Bombay, with a slack jaw and not much to say..."

You can use Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater or Seagrams, use fresh lime, dash of sugar syrup in case you want and very important, dash of Angoustra, makes it quite good.

A friend has a good recipe for making a pitcher of mohitos (actually 2 pitchers by the time you are done).
Get a can of the frozen lime aid concentrate, the 12 oz can I think. Put that in the pitcher. Put a 5th of rum in there. Put some lime leaves in there and leave it evernight so the lime can "co-mingle". Then pour in glass 1:1 with soda water and put in some ice. It is highly effective. Mike

 I love love love gin. Bombay, Beefeater, Tangueray, Sapphire. They're all good. I like to drink my gin and tonic in a high ball or drinking glass, loaded with ice and a huge squeeze of lime.

*** Advertising bad enough to turn you off your favorite item... ***
Tangueray and tonic, touch of Rose's, no fruit...
Simple, neat. BTW, who's this Tony St. James character on the Tangueray commercials? The guy acts like a freaking stuck-up twit and he laughs at his own comments...I'd expect that from some 40oz. product, not Tangueray.  Almost tacky enough for me to look into some other brand of gin...
