and as is only right and fair I'll go first ;D When the temps get really high I stick with Iced Tea, Lemonade, Diet Soda or water because anything alcoholic only makes me sweat more and that much more uncomfortable. BUT, if we are eating I can have a reallly, really, really cold beer when it's hot with no ill effect. Harp Ale is my personal fav. Nice and sharp ;D and a Shandy, Half Lemonade-Half Harp in an iced glass is really nice on a hot night with a plate of loaded nachos to share.
Lemonade and Sweet Tea mixed equal parts is called an "Arnold Palmer". Ever tried it? It's good. :)
I have had those Shasta! And you're right, they are very good. Many people drink those in Indiana. I never knew it had a name though. I just call it sweet tea and lemonade!
It's one of those things that sound strange, but when mixed together tastes very good... kind of like that peanut butter sandwich I told you about!
Just ain't nothin' like a cold one when the thermo rises!
Just ain't nothin' like a Tanqueray and tonic with lime when the thermo rises! ;D
And what on earth is "Captain and diet"? ???
Captain Morgan (Rum) and Coke (diet)
Sorry, I only drink Bacardi. ;D
Never did get the point of using diet soda in a mixed drink. ???
Used to be a scotch drinker, but that's not exactlty refreshing
No, scotch is for after dark, not for a hot summer day. ;D

After dark and naked I take it? ;D
Ewww! I just saw Screwdrivers on the list. :P
I got sooooo drunk on those about 20 years ago. I didn't actually get sick, but I was totally hung over for the next 2 or 3 days. Now I can't even think about Vodka without feeling like I want to ralph. :P

Even more than Coke I love Apfelsaftschorle. Couldn't live without it. It's half apple juice and half mineral/sparkling water. I like all kinds of Schorle: orange juice, red currant juice or cherry juice - all mixed half and half with sparkling water. But the version with apple juice is the most refreshing on a hot summer day.

Wow Chrissi, those sound really good! Do you make them yourself or do you buy them in the grocery store?
I'd like to try it sometime. I love apple juice. :D

I voted "other".
I love a good Limeade. If not that, pink lemonade.
Me and you Chuck,,, the non drinker crowd....
we can be the designated drivers..??
You can buy it already mixed in the supermarket. But they have preservatives and flavoring substances added. The ones from the supermarket are less healthy, more expansive and taste less good than the self-mixed ones.
I think self-mixed tastes way better than the stuff from the supermarket. Additionally, you can vary the amount of water in it. Usually the mixture is half and half (tastes best!), but when it's very hot, you can mix 2/3 water with 1/3 apple juice.
Try it, it's very good :). And try to pronounce "Apfelsaftschorle" while mixing ;D.
