I was just re-reading this thread to see what I’d missed. Now I feel like drinking tonight. hahaha I ended up having a lime daquiri (I LOVE THOSE THINGS) and a midori daquiri. Both were good! 😃 Tonight, I think I’m going to just have red beer. (Beer and tomato juice, for people who don’t know what red beer is). ---

FYI - Never eat the finger food. Too many never wash their hands properly after peeing in a bar toilet. ---

I can’t believe no one has mentioned my personal favorite: GIN & TONIC. WITH A LIME. Neither too sweet or too strong. Simple, classy, and refreshing… ---
