I decided on strawberry margarita- just strawberries, lime juice, triple sec, tequila and ice! I'm excited :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754746 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:38:11 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1754746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: I love how stupidly easy it is! Even after you've had a couple, you can make more without messing it up, haha. I made it for spending the day at the pool with all the cousins and it was a huge hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754741 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:34:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 1754741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: We use this recipe , too, and it is delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754739 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:33:52 +0000 BananaPancakes 1754739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A variation of the Moscow mule..the Kentucky Mule. <a href="http://m.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-the-Perfect-Summer-Cocktail-the-Kentuc/?ALLSTEPS" rel="nofollow">http://m.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-the-Perfect-Summer-Cocktail-the-Kentuc/?ALLSTEPS</a></p> <p>I even bought copper mugs for them. </p> <p>Also, Dark and Stormy. <a href="http://www.chow.com/recipes/10685-dark-n-stormy" rel="nofollow">http://www.chow.com/recipes/10685-dark-n-stormy</a></p> <p>I'm into ginger beer cocktails right now, if you can't tell. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754721 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:15:18 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1754721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the easiest margarita recipe.

If you want less calories, Sprite Zero works great too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754671 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:19:31 +0000 Silva 1754671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually a pretty simple drink kind of person- beer, vodka martini, or gin &amp; tonic. But we also make a version of The Bee's Knees sometimes<br /> You need a not-very-junpiery, sweeter kind of Gin. We use some local stuff (Barr Hill Gin), but there are other brands that work.<br /> I make lavender iced tea, and sweeten it with a little honey. Add the gin, a little soda water or tonic (I prefer tonic, others not so much), and a squirt of lime. It is so refreshing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754668 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:14:06 +0000 matador84 1754668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love making sangria. Pioneer Woman has great recipes!<br /> Margaritas too. I usually do a house mix-over ice (on the rocks) lime juice, Cointreau, agave nectar, tequila! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754665 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:12:21 +0000 blackbird 1754665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink a lot of simple stuff, but I have a weird and amazing margarita recipe. In the summer, I like shandies, gin and sprite, margaritas, palomas.... </p> [attach=618/14/n8mggl.600x338.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754635 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 17:12:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 1754635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you like mojitos (I do!) here's a decent recipe: <a href="http://www.chow.com/recipes/29104-the-real-mojito" rel="nofollow">http://www.chow.com/recipes/29104-the-real-mojito</a></p> <p>The keys (IMO) are to use simple syrup - not straight up sugar that won't actually dissolve properly in the cold liquid, and to gently muddle the mint leaves. They take a few minutes to make right, but are so worth it.</p> <p>Other great summer cocktails I like are:</p> <p>Gin Rickey (ice, gin, Rose's Lime Juice, seltzer water)</p> <p>Gin and tonic</p> <p>Gimlet (very refreshing) - it's just gin and Rose's Juice. The description from the Raymond Chandler novel The Long Goodbye stated that "a real gimlet is half gin and half Rose's lime juice and nothing else" - that's where I first read about it, tried it and loved it. Shake it up hard in a cocktail shaker with lots of ice, strain into a martini glass and enjoy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754633 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 17:07:51 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1754633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.organicauthority.com/juicy-spirits/cilantro-cocktails-recipes.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.organicauthority.com/juicy-spirits/cilantro-cocktails-recipes.html</a></p> <p>Cucumber Cilantro Cooler sounds odd but oh so crisp and fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754625 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 16:36:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1754625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: that sounds divine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754623 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 16:36:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1754623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My current favorite: <a href="http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/rudolphs-tipsy-spritzer-10000001860257/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/rudolphs-tipsy-spritzer-10000001860257/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-cocktail-recipes#post-1754609 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 16:24:43 +0000 swedishfish 1754609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not a cocktail but I love a glass of champagne and a scoop of sorbet in it.
