I love shaking up cosmopolitans! And I have some strawberry mix for margaritas and daiquiris. But a really easy drink is Malibu (coconut rum) and pineapple juice - tastes like a simple pina colada without all the blending.

Kir Royale UMMMMM!!

Oh yes - I forgot about those! I haven't had one in years, but I love them!

There's a drink called Greyhound? I'll have to find out what that is.
ETA: Looked it up, it's gin and grapefruit juice?

My tastes are simple, I love orange juice and rum, my brother in law calls it a "Sunny Drink". Going with the orange juice theme, I can't say no to a Mimosa.

I make it with gin and pink grapefruit juice with a splash of soda.

My signature drink is a Washington Apple:

2 Parts Crown Royal
1 Part Apple Pucker
1 Part Cranberry Juice

Serve in a martini glass.


It's so crisp and just a little tart.

I make it with gin and pink grapefruit juice with a splash of soda.

For obvious reasons, I have to try that!

How about an easy Scottish speciallity?

"Long Vodka".
Coat a tall glass with Angostura bitters, and chuck away any excess.
Add a measure of lime cordial (concentrate)
Add a measure of vodka.
Top up with clear lemonade (7-Up etc) and ice.

Very drinkable and not too sweet.
