Let me preface with:
- This post is not meant to encourage alcoholism
- I don't drink often
That disclaimer out of the way, I thought it might be fun to share some mixed drinks that we all like. Either our own or a normal recipe with a unique(ish) twist.
And because it's my idea, I have the responsibility to start:
Capt Morgan and cherry coke with lime juice (preferably via actual real cherries and lime). So, a Cuba Librea with a twist.
Anyone else wanna play?

When on vacation, we love a Kiera-Colada, named after the friend who first created it. A pina colada but add fresh mint to the blender.
SOOOOO good.

A generous splash of Southern Comfort topped off with 7-Up, Sprite, or Ginger Ale. Repeat as needed.
Don’t listen to your head, it’s easily confused. Don’t listen to your heart, its fickle. Listen to your soul, God doesn't steer you wrong.

My new summertime refresher cocktail is Blackberry Bird Dog bourbon and lemonade.
I'll probably drink it in the winter also.

I used to love Palomas, which are grapefruit soda, tequila, simple syrup, and lime. Then I discovered I'm just as happy with straight tequila and grapefruit juice, which reduces the sugar content.

BSR— that sounds perfect. I love a tart drink! I am definitely going to try that!

nothisfriend that drink sounds good! I can imagine dropping fresh blackberries in it and trying to stab them with the straw when I'm done.
