I'm having a going away party in two weeks and am looking for ideas for a specialty mixed drink to serve. The party is starting at 3:00 and will be poolside, so I'd like something fruity and refreshing. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Ever clear, fruit punch, cut fruit and ice.

I had some cucumber mojitos at a pool party last weekend. They were pretty freaking good

Sounds refreshing although I'd substitute something for the ever clear because those nights don't usually end well

I LOVE cucumber - I am also making cucumber rolls, so this could be a good drink to go with them. Thanks

Depends on ones' point of view. Ever clear and going away parties are very, very compatible.

I guess you're right. It would make the karaoke portion of the night THAT much more fun for everyone!

Dark and Stormy would be a good summer cocktail. Dark rum (Gosling's) and ginger beer with lime.

it's called a Baker Breeze

Sprite
Ginger Ale
Bacardi Coconut Rum
Pineapple juice


equal parts Sprite-Pineapple-Ginger ale

then the barcardi is up to you!



It's a drink we created a few years back, and trust me, it's a crowd pleaser!!!!

Porch Swing.

Make a Pimm's Cup (with cucumber, of course). Then add Hendrix Gin. Tasty and intoxicating.

I cannot remember the recipe, so I will tell you to call information for the Virgin Islands, St Croix, ask for the Rainbow Beach Club. When you call them ask for the recipe for a Calypso Daquari. Three will kick your arse.

Cucumber roll-ups:

2 cucumbers
6 ounces crumbled feta
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 tablespoons finely diced sundried tomatoes or red bell pepper
8 - 12 pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill or oregano
2 teaspoons lemon juice
pinch of pepper, or to taste

Slice cucumbers longways with a veggie slicer.
Mix everything, and spread a thin layer on each slice. Roll up like a sushi roll and stick a toothpick in the middle to hold together... DELISH!

Peach Sangrias are a hit around my place for this kind of event.

1.5 liters of moscato
1 bottle of peach schnapps
1 cup of rum
1 can of peach nectar
2 cans of Sprite/club soda
Frozen peach slices

This makes 1 gallon. I'm not typically a fruity drink guy, but this stuff is good, especially when it's hot outside and you're hanging by the pool.
