You are full of tips! Great ideas, thank you

Quoting SweetLuci:

 You can always use frozen strawberries as well as frozen bananas. If I know I'm going to use them in a frozen drink, I hull the strawberries, slice the bananas  and place them on a sheet pan to freeze, then add to ziplock bags. Use less ice this way. You can use Cointreau and triple sec interchangeably.

when Tim first poured me one I thought "what in the heck are you doing?"  but it's really good.
And totally 7 somewhere.

The Peachy Keen Slush recipe in the Recipes forum looks delicious. It reminded me how much I like peach bellinis. So, I guess I do drink things other than beer. I don't have a recipe for the bellinis, though.

Fun vacation drinks- mojitos, cool and refreshing. Mimosas, light and elegant...and u can start drinking early, lol! Lemon drops, either as a drink or a shot-lemon vodka, lemon juice, triple sec, rim the glass with sugar. Use lemonade for a mixed drink. Tasty!

I love making sangria.  It's so simple to do.  Here is the recipe I use. 

  • 1 (750-ml) bottle red wine
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup orange flavored liqueur (recommended: triple sec or Grand Marnier)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 unwaxed apple, cored, and cut into thin wedges
  • 1 (750-ml) bottle sparkling water, chilled

Directions

Combine everything but the sparkling water in a large plastic container or glass pitchers. Cover and chill completely, 1 to 2 hours. When ready to serve, add the sparkling water.
