Singapore Sling. I took this in Colombo ironically. I'm always stocked up on the ingredients, the Sling mix is pretty decent if you mix it with pineapple juice/orange juice (or both) and champagne.

Coconut rum and orange juice. I'm drinking one right now actually.

Gin and tonic. It's always the best drink regardless of time of the year!

I sent a friend on a mission to bring me a bottle of this back from duty free last week

http://summerfruitcup.wordpress.com/...mmsblackberry/

I was devestated that they didn't have any for her to buy (but in my wisdom had selected a back up tipple just in case - this http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/201...s-chocoholics/ which is waiting for the cooler weather)

I am plotting to see how else I can get my hands on the elderflower and blackberry pimms - it sounds, to sound like a teenager again, absolutely lush!

Elderflower and blackberry Pimms has been on deep sale since the Pimms people came up with it last summer. It's disgustingly sweet and an insult to the original. I'll happily bring you a bottle as we've got about six left from an original delivery last summer.

No gin for me guys, sorry (long explanation why).

I've been hooked on strawberry basil mojitos all summer.

Hmmm, there is a place for disgustingly sweet! If you are ever Toronto bound I'd love a bottle - I can do a trade for some high quality maple syrup! :D (disgustingly sweet, but not an insult to the original ;) )

Well I'm typically Toronto-bound a fair bit. You might try the LCBO on Queen's Quay, or the other big one on Weston Road. But it wouldn't surprise me if they never exported it. I'll drop you a note if I go and bring you some..We're happy to get rid of it!

That's very kind of you - always happy to help someone empty their liquor cabinet :D Alas the LCBO only carry the regular Pimms (which is a vast improvement in itself as they never used to!)

No one mentioned a good Caribbean style Rum Punch made with genuine Caribbean Rum. Poured over crused ice and garnished with pineapple, marascimo cherry and a slice of orange oh so good.
