It has been hot!! Yes, it's summer in the midwest and we're used to the heat/humidity that comes with the season; but now it's abnormally hot ~105F - too hot. What is your favorite drink on a hot summer day?
In July, 2005 we were in Kansas City when the temperature reached 108F. We walked into a brewpub for a drink. When our waitress arrived at the table we talked about the heat and the need for a refreshing drink. Which of their beers would she recommend for a summer scorcher? She says that she has just the thing and will be right back. She returned with two frosty mugs of (can't remember what she called it) beer mixed 50/50 with lemonade. We politely said thanks and looked at each other with perplexed/quizzical yet polite expressions. And lo' and behold it worked. We both liked the drink for a summer scorcher. It was not too sweet, not overly tart, still had the taste of beer and quenched our thirst.
Since then we've made them several times when we're outdoors and the temperatures approach those of the sun.
