Fave non-alchy drink: Water with lemon, please.
Beer?: That's tough. Depends where I am. Tropicana Field ~ Blue Moon on tap w/ an orange slice. I'm more of a wine drinker.
Mixed: Had an amazing drink at Fly in Tampa (ok, three of them) and noone else has been able to recreate it for me. It was called a Franklin Derby. Makers Mark, champagne, and fresh mint in a martini glass that was rimmed with minted sugar. Yum.

I like Blue Moon on tap w/ an orange slice. On a hot day, I just stop a the BBQ place and enjoy two mugs with the meal...Superb beer...

It's a "Belgian-style wheat ale"...

Default Summertime is iced tea, sparkling water, IPA beers and fruity wines

Non-alcoholic: Sweet tea, Snapple (rasberry and peach ice tea flavors), Izze (any flavor, but especially grapefruit), Pellegrino (chilled & sparkling ).

I also like to make my own variation of Ting, an island drink. I take a little grapefruit juice and mix it with Sprite/7Up .


Alcoholic: Beer, so many kinds ......

IPA - I like Mojo the best (Boulder Beer) & Longhammer

Stout - Sam Adams Cream Stout is pretty good, I also love St. Peters for a treat .

Guinness - in a class of its' own

Wine: Shiraz and Pinot Noir are my recent go-to's. I also like the funky local muscadine wines. We have a winery in St. Augustine. For a true Florida drink, check out : Welcome to San Sebastian Winery

Arizona Sweet Tea - They don't sell that up north
Orange Julius - They moved out of NYC area about 20 years ago. I was very surprised to find them here!

Speaking of drinks & NYC, does anyone from there remember "Papaya King" on East 86th Street & their papaya/coconut drink??

They've been selling it since the 30's & I WISH there was one here in Florida!!

THAT would become the Florida State Drink in a heartbeat!! (or a New York Minute...)
