Right now, a glass of cold water with a lime. Kinda wish it was a gin and tonic, though.

Tim / July 6, 2012 12:55 AM

Beer man. Lots of beer.

Whiskey, neat, usually a good Irish one. Tastes better in this heat than a filling beer.

Mike / July 6, 2012 8:41 AM

1/2 Lindeman's Framboise and 1/2 Perrier or any kind of bubbly water. It's perfect. Andrew's gin comment makes me feel like mixing up a French 75 though.

Freshly juiced watermelon, cucumber, and lemon.

Erik / July 6, 2012 9:40 AM

Hoppy Homebrew, margaritas, Moscow Mules

Iced tea and lots of it. Lady Gray, ginger peach, lemon green, straight-up black with sugar -- it's all good. When I'm feeling sassy, I have an Arnold Palmer!

Just bought some cucumber vodka!

diet Peach Snapple, pineapple vodka and a little OJ, and lately, apple cider (yes, the kind with alcohol)

Carlotta / July 8, 2012 2:24 PM

IPA's, 'fruity' beers/ales, mineral water, seltzer water, iced tea, in roughly that order.

PMan / July 9, 2012 12:02 AM

Whiskey -- as per usual. Working rye and soda into the mix from being strictly on the rocks.

gandhi / July 9, 2012 10:49 PM

Whiskey and soda, okay, but whiskey neat is absolutely nasty in the summertime! Beer, man! Beer man! Beer!

jennifer / July 10, 2012 11:31 AM

soy chai w/ a shot of espresso.

yes, ridiculous, but it's my bday, so I do what I want. :)

Andrew Huff / July 10, 2012 12:14 PM

Happy birthday, Jennifer!
