What about a Long Island Ice Tea?? Kinda forgot off hand everything in it. I know there is rum and coke and other drinks.You can't drink too many, as they really hit hard. (Well I can't) Few years ago we went to Lake George, and took a boat ride I had 3 of them, between the waves and the drinks, I can't remember getting home. But they really were good.
Yum . . . peaches . . . but yes, that is too SC . . . at least, for my purposes, LOL!!!
I was hoping we could figure out a drink that would be solely something from CLT . . . incorporating local flavors . . . you are on the right track. Aw heck - I just remembered - you know this stuff - you are a professional!!!
Have you ever had Cheerwine??? It is a cherry based drink but not as sweet as most of those sodas . . . not quite Dr. Pepper, not quite Cherry Coke, but not sugary sweet like most cherry soda. I am wondering if we could mix up something using Cheerwine . . . and make it a signature drink for Charlotte. Or - just at my house, LOL!!!!
Oh Ani, I am sure I could mix a few more things with the Amaretto and come up with something. Wish I saw this over the weekend. LOL
sun drop, huh? i haven't thought of that, i'll have to give it a try...usually i will mix parrot bay, coke and cherry jack (cherry rum) together, but the cheerwine means less cherry jack and more parrot bay in the drink!
ROFL! You guys have made this thread so much fun! I am just popping in . . .have a house full of guests . . . and all your suggestions have inspired a "mix off" for the adults this evening. We are gonna try some combinations and see what we come up with!!!!
Keep the ideas coming!!!! LOVE all the suggestions!!!!
But since the space is here . . . I am gonna first try Cheerwine and amaretto and see where we go w/ that . . . then Sundrop and . . . ???? Southern Comfort? DH says he is gonna try the Rum. Should be interesting . . . can't wait to hear what my sons come up with . . .
