Who Has Ideas For Good Summertime Adult Drinks?
My fiancee and I have been experimenting with the smoothie maker, and have come up with some great frozen alcoholic beverages for the summer parties. Does anyone have any good drink ideas. Here's a few we came up with:
peach schnapps, oj, vanilla ice cream = frozen navel
mudslide, choc & van ice cream, or even rocky road = avalanche
baileys irish cream, mint and chip ice cream = frozen irishman
hot sex, mocha coffee ice cream = sex at starbucks (tenative name for now)
We have a few more, but these are our most made ones, and I'm running out of space, so who has some more drink recipes like this they would like to share. Looking forward to your responses. Cheers!
Answers:
go to foodnetwork.com and on the left side of the screen I think it will have two drop boxes and look for the one that has like paula deen or every day itlian etc. look for semi-home made by sandra lee, it will give you recipes and the types of drinks that she made for that day. I watch her alot and she comes up with some great ideas on drinks.

Ingredients
Vodka
Southern Comfort
Grand Marnier
Fill with Pineapple juice and Ice
Mojitos - Rum, Mint, crushed ice, lime, tonic water (or ginger ale if you prefer)
Golden Daiquiri:
6 fresh raspberries
1 packed tablespoon dark brown sugar
Ice cubes
2 ounces golden rum
Juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
Muddle raspberries with sugar in a rocks glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the rum and lime juice, shake until chilled. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Pour drink with some ice over the berries in the glass.
Tequila Refresca: Ice cubes
1 ounce tequila, white or gold
Dash Campari
6 ounces grapefruit soda,(recommended: Fresca)
Small wedge fresh pineapple, grapefruit, and lime
Fill a goblet or rocks glass with ice cubes. Add the tequila and a dash of Campari to give the drink a slight blush and balance the sweetness of the soda. Top off with the grapefruit soda. Skewer the fruit and stir into the cocktail. Drink.
Serve with a plate of wedged pineapple, a small bowl of your favorite chili powder, and coarse salt, for dipping.
Cherry Gin-gria: Ice cubes
2 ounces cherry syrup (recommended: Giammona)
2 ounces gin
5 to 6 ounces club soda
1 ounce red wine
Maraschino cherries
Fresh or frozen raspberries
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cherry syrup and the gin; stir to mix together. Lighten the drink with a generous splash of soda. Float a layer of red wine on top by pouring it over the back of a wide, flat spoon. (Don't worry if it doesn't float; it tastes great either way.) Drop a few maraschino cherries and raspberries into the glass. Drink.
Meloncello: Yellow or pink cocktail sugar or sanding sugar (sold at specialty stores), optional
1 cup cubed seedless watermelon
Ice cubes
3 1/2 ounces limoncello
1/2 ounce lemon-flavored or light rum
Splash club soda
Lemon wedge
Rim a rocks glass with the sugar, if desired, and put in the freezer. Puree the watermelon cubes in a blender until juicy.
Fill the prepped glass with ice. Add the watermelon juice, limoncello and rum. Top off with enough club soda to give the drink a light bubble. Garnish with the lemon wedge. Drink.
Enjoy!!!
Some of these don't have names, others might but I don't remember them.
Gin & lemonade - In a tall glass add a shot of gin and top it off with lemonade. For a Gin Rickey, substitute limeade.
Fuzzy Navel - Peach schnapps and orange juice.
Killer Kool Aid - Melon liquer, amaretto & vodka + cranberry juice.
Fuzzy Navel + Killer Kool Aid = some kind of punch.
Dark rum, cranberry juice, splash of soda and lime juice.
The classic Long Island Iced Tea - gin, vodka, light rum, triple sec & tequilla. Add lemonade and a splash of coke for colour.
Cocaine - Bailey's, Kahlua, Creme de Cacao, Banana liquer + milk. Try substituting vanilla ice cream for the milk, it'll make a milkshake to knock your socks off.
