    Throw some vodka-soaked blackberries in there.

    I used to like a little dry vermouth on the rocks with a twist of lemon. Nice apertif.

    Thanks. I can only handle wine and wine-based drinks every so often, just because it is a different kind of drunkenness. Plus, wine gives me killer hangovers.

    The best mixed drink I've had in a long, long time: a mojito.

    Bacardi's recommends the following recipe:
    1 part rum
    3 parts club soda
    12 mint leaves
    1/2 lime
    1/2 part sugar

    I can't imagine a better non-beer drink on a summer day.

    The mojito is my new favorite drink.

    There is no better dessert than Bailey's over vanilla ice cream... try the new mint chocolate Bailey's, too.

    In college we would buy a watermelon, scoop some out of the top, drain the juice and refill by pouring vodka in. Slice it up like normal and it's awesome. Only need to wait about 30 minutes, because as 21 said, it will get soggy and nasty if marinated.

    Don't think I've had one of those, but damn ... I'm gonna have to try one.

    Lots and lots of water and ice tea.

    Sometimes a beer. If so, JW Dundee's Honey Brown. Or Four Roses Bourbon

    Wow. I was going to say how a mojito is my new favorite drink, but I was too late.

    I've been hooked since I went to NYC for my birthday to see my ex-girlfriend (a story in itself, not worth diving into) and we went to a Brazillian restaurant in SoHo and both had them. I'd never had one, and I was hooked. They're delicious.

    I've heard so many girls rave about mojitos that it's made me not want to try it. I did try the mojito-flavored gum and thought the taste was okay, nothing more. My favorite mixed drink is very simple, Disaronno and Coke.

    I really wish the smell and taste of rum didn't make me want to retch. I think I'd love mojitos otherwise. :(
