Grocery stores only stock the fake stuff, HFCS with red food coloring, yack.<br /><br />And for margaritas, may I recommend agave nectar? It harmonizes beautifully to sweeten the drink just a little.<br /><br />Sangria is da bomb and if you want to make it sweeter, use Lambrusco.chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-12818531533183041892010-05-07T14:07:49.196-07:002010-05-07T14:07:49.196-07:00Great list, but you forgot one of the greatest sum...Great list, but you forgot one of the greatest summer drinks ever:<br /><br />The Dark & Stormy<br /><br />2-3 oz.

The mojito may be getting trend fatigue, but it's still a fine, classic drink. I imagine like the martini it will cease to resemble the original as we get strawberry vodka mojitos in the future.<BR/>The only think I'd add is a nice hefeweizen beer to the list. Ramstein Blonde by High Point Brewing company is my top pick.Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.com
