My New Summer After Hive Refreshment Summer Shandie
« on: June 02, 2014, 08:38:43 am »
Call it a beer cocktail is you wish.  I discovered how to make this a few days ago.  Boy, does it taste goooood.  Hey, so here it goes. 
 
--12oz very cold Coors Light
--2 oz of sweet/sour mix
--Frosted mug

I made my own sweet/sour syrup because the store kind is full of high fructose corn syrup.  As if beer was healthy right?  Well, my 87 year old Irish blooded grandma drinks a beer or two a day and she is still kickin.  :D  I found a really good recipe for it.  I used 16oz cans yesterday so I had to add a little more sweet/sour.  You will just have to find your happy place.

Big batch:
--3 cups of sugar
--3 cups of water
--2 cups lemon juice
--2 cups lime juice

Small batch (what I did)
--1 cup of sugar *
--1 cup of water
--2/3 cup of lemon juice **
--2/3 cup of lime juice **

* get water close to a boil, pull, add sugar and stir like you would for bee feed syrup
** the lemon and lime plastic shaped bottle for a buck each in the produce aisle are 2/3 cup each perectly  8)

Enjoy!

Rebuttal;

   Ice cold beer is for when its HOT and you worked too hard, or are fishing. It goes down fast and smoooooth, in other situations where relaxation is paramount?

   1 to 2 shots of rum, (to taste) Captain Morgan Black is preferred.
   Pour the rum over ice in a large glass.
   Add 1 can of Diet Cherry Coke.
   Sip and enjoy slowly...

   Why DIET pop?   Because rum is sweet, it seems too syrupy for me when normal pop is used.  I have tried multiple different flavors and types..    Making the perfect drink is like reloading your own ammo..  you just HAVE to try all the variations, test them, and see what works best.  For me, the cherry coke was the right combination. Got a bottle of Captain Morgan Black for my birthday.. before then I had been using normal Captain Morgans spiced rum.. the Black seems to perfect the mix.
   I limit myself to two, you really dont want to over do these, they sneak up on you!  But then, I dont usually drink more than two or three beers at a time either so limits may vary!
   My son likes those strange beer concoctions with lime etc in them...   what is happening to our young men? The girls are beginning to influence them in bad ways!   (Shaking head sadly)  Ruining a good beer with lime and sugar....  so sad...  When he shows up with girly beer I always ask him if hes wearing Panties now??     Ahem...  not that I would accuse Blue of doing that...........................

 :laugh: Oh, peeshaw! Give it a whirl, promise you will like it.  I have already went sailing the Captain Morgan with that itinerary.  Agreed, Cherry Coke is the best.  And, I was never so sick in my life.  My brother in law and I shared a whole bottle one nighe.  Oh, my, bad memories.  Girly drink, panties....geesh... :P  Tell your son I side with him on this one... 8)

That's good too River.  I just like making my own, plus I can make some syrup for the bees and humming birds at the same time.  Always seems like there is some left over.  Hey, talking of sugar, Rural King had 10lb bags on sale for $4.99.

Ha! Okay Scott, here is an article for you from one of my favorite websites.  I recommend all men subscribe to this site for of course, The Art of Manliness.  So, anyway, I think some of these will be a good compromise for your anti-girly drinks for men,  :laugh:

LOL...    Some interesting stuff...     reply...

     NOT MY WORDS!

Manly Drinks

A Girly Drink can be defined as any drink that is sweet, sugary, often bearing fruit and fruity alcohols. Examples include wine coolers, alcopop beverages, as well as mixed drinks like Cosmopolitans and Fuzzy Navels. These are drinks that may bring questions about a mans masculinity.

   Cuba Libre is actually pretty good....   I prefer the cherry over the lime, and the diet because rum is sweet.. normal coke and rum, or non diet cherry coke and rum is too sweet...



   dang, getting thirsty reading about all those drinks....
