Summa, Summa, Summa-time drinks

It's FINALLY summer here in Chicago.  And because we don't have a car and use public transportation, we have the luxury of having pre-drinks before heading out to the street festivals that go on every weekend.

Here are few of my favorite new drinks.

Wine Enthusiast gave X-Rated Fusion Liqueur a 96 out of a 100 point rating in the Best Buy category (May 2008 issue).

Here's what they had to say:
"Attractive foggy pink/rose color. The bouquet is highly perfumed with intense fragrances of orange peel, passion fruit, and mango pulp, with a backnote of spice. Entry is lusciously tart and fruit, displaying an ideal balance between the alcohol base, acidity, and fruit. Finishes impeccably balanced, clean and juicy. Bravo!

 

 X-Rated Fusion Liqueur with:

* Sierra Mist

* Lemonade

* Prosecco

Be creative!

Wow, we just tried this at our first Jimmy Buffett concert.  Our friend, Kelsey, mixed this with Coke (Coke Zero, Diet, Pepsi, etc), and I kid you not, it tastes and even SMELLS like Dr. Pepper!

Winner!

And lastly, I've always been a big fan of Asti (sweet and bubbly, perfecto!), but my friend AnnaMaria introduced me to the Rose.  Just as delish.  Drink it straight out of the bottle and enjoy!  The Prosecco is the least sweetest and is great as a mix.  Enjoy!
