Icy Cold Laxas Albarino. Dry white wine from Spain. Banana on the nose, fruity burst on the palate, mineral on the finish.

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.

Sometimes I add a touch of water to my scotch
