I was going to post something productive in this thread about how much I like to ride mt bike and golf in the summer to pass the time until I can ski again, but this thread has turned into a fav summer refreshment thread, which has inspired me to say, ....Eagle Rare and Vernors.  Very refreshing on a 100 degree day, eh?

Turn into or devolve??? ;D

Please educate me. What is   Eagle Rare +/or vernors??? ??? ???

Ron, your drink made with seltzer is NOT a cosmopolitan. It is some attempt at, but not the REAL thing.

A true cosmopolitan has cranberry juice cocktail ( I tried real cranberry juice, organic even, but it didn't cut the mustard. And if your'e drinking these, I say give up any attempt at being healthy for the moment!), vodka, triple sec and fresh lime. NO SELTZER!!!
Pour over crushed ice and let sit for a few minutes. A little dilution by the ice helps meld the drink into that pale pink concotion that just slips down oh so quietly. On the edge of sweet/tart. Deadly if done on an empty stomach. ;)

Eagle Rare is bourbon, and vernors is a Michigan version of Ginger Ale, which has some bite to it.

Lynn, I know its not one, I didnt even know that's what was in a cosmo. I wanted a drink that didn't have much alchohol  but still tasted good. I am a seltzer addict. I drink it by the litre, literally!

Speaking of heat and 100 degree days, this morning a small front blew off the ocean while I was out cycling. Rode for 30 minutes in a heavy rain shower at 70 degrees. Loved every minute of it. It felt so good to be a little cool.

Even had a seltzer at the end of the ride. Now, just have to clean up my formerly nice and clean road bike.

The Avalon summer drink of choice is citric vodka, bitter lemon and twist of lime. Nothing better after a hard afternoon of sitting on the beach!

As the OP of this thread, I designate all topics introduced to dates as consistent with the intent of the OP!!
Just because we all drink too much in the summer ( as evidenced by all the confessions herein), doesn't mean it's not a valid
activity, bit of fun, etc. Might even come under the heading of gossip!

Carry on! ;D >:D ;D

Bitter lemon isn't the easiest mixer to find. Actually, it should be called the "Diva" after my wife who loves that drink. Big difference in the amount of Vodka poured into hers as compared to mine.  ::)
