I'm a Tito's and Lemonade drinker.  Real lemonade jot that canned sweet stuff.  I recently played True Blue and the beer Cart girl said "oh someone knows what to drink!"  She then asked if I tried blueberry vodka and lemonade?  I had not. I love blueberry anything.  Ellicottville Brewing Companies Blueberry Beer is a favorite!  Well, tried it - now I'm hooked!

If you like blueberries you have to try it.  I have found beer is a great cool down but doesn't always quench my thirst. These lemonade infused drinks quench while hydrating.

If you try one let me know what you think. 

Tito’s and pomegranate with a splash of 7up/sprite is an on course fav for me.  Tough to find pomegranate on the course though.

I'd say my goto summertime drink is a brandy old fashioned sweet. Or if you're in a Wisconsin supper club, an Old Fashioned. Apparently the rest of the country makes it with bourbon. Who knew?

Charlie Berens - Old Fashioned

Also been known to reach for Angel's Envy and the occasional Lagavulin 16 or Nick Offerman edition when the mood calls for something peaty.

This just arrived this morning, but I'm saving it for my wedding to have a drink with my dad. Looks gorgeous though.

Nice!!

Bruh. That's tasty.

That was my response. I had tried this OTR old fashioned before, but this time I jazzed it up with a little extra bourbon, 2 teaspoons of the maraschino cherry liquid and 5 or 6 drops of Aztec chocolate bitters. 

Very tasty giant vat of mostly alcohol.

Broke out a long cellared wine to celebrate my youngest’s 21st birthday. Still drinking beautifully which was a big relief after waiting this long.

Sipping on a pour of 'home made' from my buddy. He knocked this batch out of the park!

Whipped up a Jameson IPA grapefruit sour on vacation to try something new and have been hooked.

I’m a big Jameson drinker. The IPA comes from their IPA caskmates edition which finished Jameson Irish whiskey in ipa barrels. Pairs nicely with citrus so a sour was an easy choice. The grapefruit I just had on hand haha

I like Jameson.... 12 year old. Not a big fan of the 'regular' stuff.

Opened up some Rowan's Creek this weekend. Not an expensive bottle, but not one that I have on hand very often. Very tasty!

What a bottle... I bet it'll be unreal. If that doesn't put some hair on your chest, I don't know what will! Enjoy it.

Embrace debate here:

Should it be standard practice for beverage carts to carry the ingredients for a transfusion? (Vodka/Tequila, Grape Juice, Ginger Ale)

I have found some courses only have club soda or some others don't carry juice at all. I personally think that transfusions have taken the world by storm, at least my world! My thoughts are that it should be standard practice.

Bonus points for the funniest response received when asking for one, I'll go first: "We have cranberry juice and sprite, does that work?"

It would be nice if the carts started carrying more of that stuff. I have asked quite a few times at different courses and they didn't know what I was talking about. The vodka/tequila and ginger ale is a no brainer that they should have but the juice is definitely out there and not common. Hopefully with enough requests they will start carrying it.

Ill add my 2 cents to this forum as well. The course I commonly play has the Spiked Arnold Palmer's. They are very good, light, and refreshing. Thats what I usually go to for on the course. I'm a big Hazy IPA drinker as well which is dangerous since many craft breweries here in the twin cities make really good Hazys.

I also dabble a bit on the old-fashioned train in the colder months. My "secret" to a really good one is Demerara simple syrup and i usually team it with Keepers Heart American/Irish Bourbon. For $50ish it's a real good bourbon and made locally here in MN.
