Fantastic. .. this is my kind of thread!
I've been making a lot of journeys to the boat yard and putting in some good hours getting my CD ready for the season. As many know, mother nature can be quite the tease during the New York spring time. One evening in March -- after a fairly warm day -- I decided to make myself a Gin and Tonic. I think of Gin and Tonic as quite the summery drink and I wanted to urge the sailing season along as quickly as possible.
Let us all think warm weather sailing thoughts and post those summertime drink recipies.

Florida Margarita
3 - 6 parts key lime juice, sweetened to taste
2 parts tequila
1 part triple sec
Shake it up in crushed ice and throw it in your cooler for those hot, still Florida afternoons.

Grog!
Somewhere back in the archives of this board we had a long discussion of grog. I think the recipe for that...a real salty sailors libation..is in there!

Was that the one where you mix rum and water, then soak the body of a dead admiral for a month or more before inbibing?Warren Kaplan wrote:Somewhere back in the archives of this board we had a long discussion of grog. I think the recipe for that...a real salty sailors libation..is in there!

the name sells it
Any drink with a name like "Grog" is meant to be on a sailboat.
Black Strap - another great name for sailing spirits.

My forte
I am new to a few of these drinks (making them) but the one drink that I do VERY well (if I dare say so) is a bloody mary.
Although it isn't a typical sailor drink, it does help in the morning after a lively evening before at the anchorage.
My new conquest is to learn how to make an exquisite Mojito.
Any thoughts?
