Need some good ideas on mixed drinks.

[exercise forever]

going to beach and need some good mixed drinks. The men drink beer and us women love the mixed. I'm not a big drinker at all but we like to sit around the pool with a few drinks. My favorite is a pina colada. I would like some more drink ideas with rum or gin.

I know some of you ladies could probably mix up a mean drink!

I love "Sex on the Beach" (the drink!!).


1 1/2 oz. peach schnapps
1 1/2 oz. vodka
2 oz. cranberry juice
2 oz. orange juice
2 oz. pineapple (some people use grapefruit juice instead)

Mix it up and put on ice.

I just realized that this is not rum or gin like you asked for, but it is a good drink!

Hi Jes,

I avoid most mixed drinks because they are full of sugar, I go for a great of a glass or two of wine with my dinner, not more than twice a week. Wine has a lot of less calories. I have been so good lately, I rarely drink coffee, and drink mostly water or Fresh made lamonade with splenda.

I recently found an alcohol that is half the calories of regular spirits (it's also lower in the alcoholic content). It's made by Barcardi. It come in coconut, berry flavors and key lime. They list recipes on the site.

The Rum Runner

3/4 oz blackberry brandy
3/4 oz banana liqueur
1/4 oz grenadine syrup
1 1/2 oz orange juice
1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
fill with ice
1 oz My dark rum

Pour all liquids except dark rum into glass. Fill with ice and stir. Float dark rum on top and stir gently.

These are really good!

I've made a light version of Mojitos using Splenda. (yes I know I don't like the after taste, but after a buzz, I really don't care}( )

1-2 mint leaves, (Crush against glass)
juice of 1 lime
Splenda to taste (1-2 tsp?)

mix above in glass
add 2 parts soda water
1 part white tum
ice cubes
stir & enjoy.

You can even rub the rim of the glass with lime, coat with sugar & pour your mojito mixture in there.

These are refreshing. I like to add a little more lime juice to mine.
