Looking for a good cocktail to make for my wife this summer. She finds most drinks like margaritas much to sugary. Her go to drink is vodka soda with fresh lime juice.

Anyone have any good recipes that are not too sugary?

My husband calls it a cup of STFU. Spiced rum , orange juice and some cranberry juice.

A friend of mine developed a very refreshing gin drink we named a "Cuestick". Carefully muddle 2-3 cucumber slices in a Double Old Fashioned glass. Add 2 oz of Hendrick's gin, add ice and top it with club soda. Garnish with another cucumber slice. Enjoy!

I have a large patch of peppermint growing in the planter next to the deck. Makes for perfect mojitos all summer long.

Bacardi and blueberry pomegranate ice water. You can substitute any flavored ice water you like. It all goes well with Bacardi, and it’s vitamin infused, so you’re drinking healthy!

I just planted some mint last year just for Mojitos!

My go to is Wild Roots marionberry vodka with seven up 10.

On the non sweet side, I usually get a growler of Mcmenamins Ruby Beer too, at least once a summer.

My wife's current fave is 1 shot Hendricks gin, 1 shot vodka, 1 can of lacroix lime water and a squeeze or two of lime.

Floating IN the pool: Vodka Lemonade, or Vodka Cranberry Lemonade.

Real beer.
Not fruit flavored. no Busch Light or any other imitation stuff. If not from Germany it's not beer, even the green bottle brick layer P***." skunk" in American terms.
Sorry to any mason, but that's what it's called.

[DJFaninTN]

the wife loves Diet Mt Dew and Black Cherry Rum. i have to admit it is pretty good stuff.

 

[bmoreswim]

Diet Coke.

I like their recent advertising. Something like "If you want it drink it. It's probably not that good for you but, relax and enjoy!" Not an exact quote but that's the underlying message. Truth in advertising.
