Drinks

We're going to have a tropical/beach-themed wedding, we're thinking. We'll have beachy favors, having the wedding at a boat club a block from the beach... At the bar, on top of the normal premium liquor drinks (plus lots of different wines and beers), we're going to put a list of our favorite suggestions for mixed drinks. Make the bartenders earn their tips. :) So I'd like to to start accumulating different summery and tropical mixed drinks.

I'm all in favor for anything with lots of juice, fruit, and flavored rum (in the past year or two, I've personally gone through a bottle of Cruzan mango rum, and I'm currently chugging my way through a bottle of Parrot Bay passionfruit rum and a giant bottle of Bacardi berry rum simultaneously). Malibu Bay Breezes are good. Fruity anything is good. Cranberry vodkas. Midori sours. Daquiris. Pina Coladas (although alas - we can't have blended drinks at the wedding because the sound of the blender would be too loud).

Here's Jeremy's latest suggestion. It's called a Back Porch.

Hendricks Gin 1oz
Sloe Gin 1/2 oz
Lemonade 2 oz
7-up 2oz
2 pieces thin sliced cucumber

Serve in a high ball glass with or without ice

Jeremy says: "I recommend serving it without ice but with an extra shot of gin. The drink is Kool-Aid red and tastes GREAT." I have to say - it does sound pretty good.

Any suggestions for good summery mixed drinks that put you in a happy summer/tropical state of mind?
