Hummm some very interesting ideas [emoji848]looks like I see some more experimenting in my future [emoji2][emoji482]
Icy Cold Laxas Albarino. Dry white wine from Spain. Banana on the nose, fruity burst on the palate, mineral on the finish.
Water, a friend of a friend named Bill Wilson said water was the best thing for me to drink in this Gulf Coast Paradise !
Anybody else?

While I am not a friend of Bill, I always drink tons of water in between other tasty beverages, especially in the heat. One kidney stone taught me that lesson!
My go-to drink is Maker's Mark with Coke Zero. However, if I am having a lot of people over (party, holiday, gameday, etc.) and I'll be drinking for a while in the hot sun, I get Terrapin Recreation Ale. RecreationAle - Terrapin Beer Company
I find that most beers that taste good are also very filling, which makes drinking them all day in the hot sun (by the pool or at the beach) not so easy. Of course, the cheap domestic light beers aren't as filling, but they taste terrible. I find this Recreation IPA to be a decent balance of not filling, yet still tasty.

Vodka Lemondrop Martinis! Baker’s sugar on the rim. Just finished our new pool so need to buy some acrylic martini glasses FAST!
Oh yeah... that’s for dog days of summer, easy on the wallet too.
Here you go, Pookie. And it’s from a vegetarian website, so, healthy! Score!
