As for cocktails, has anyone ever had a long BEACH iced tea? I think its alomst identical to a long ISLAND iced tea, but they put cranberry juice in it instead of cola, looks like a glass of pink lemonade, yum!
My favorite drink at any bar or any place, even my home is Long Island Ice Tea. I didnt even know they had a Long BEACH Ice tea! Im so going to try that next time. MMMmmmm!

Love everything about it-the color is even refreshing! But is hard to find in most places around here when we're out-usually have to go thru a long explanation about it & how to make a midori colada

I find that in some places. It's always hard to find on the shelf and when I ask the clerk they look clueless
My favorite are Midori Sours. Just mix a bit of Midori and sour mix together and serve it on the rocks
It's not bad with a bit of pineapple juice added either.

When you make it, if you use an 8oz. glass, pour approx. 2 ounces of Midori over the ice and then fill the rest with the sour mix. Sometimes I find the sour mix to be a bit too sour and in that case I will add a little sprite to it.
I might have to go and pick up a bottle of Midori on my way home as well. I ran out at home

You have to do this a certain way...

Either Screwdrivers (OJ & Vodka) or Margarita's on the rocks. You can't do this near the ocean, but you can do it on lakes or rivers. You have to be either on a boat, floating, or on a dock over the water. Just as the sun is out of your view, start drinking!

When I was younger, our family had a house out at the Colorado River near Parker, AZ. It was kind of a custom to have everyone on the dock, just hanging out, talking and drinking. When I say younger, I mean late teens/early 20's.

Ahhhh, those were the days....

Next summer, I will have a boat and will be continuing the tradition...
