Dunno about you but in my neighbourhood summer has recently arrived, which means less nasty rain to ruin my bearings, and longer days to spend out heeling Very Happy

But all that heeling can be thirsty work, so, what's your favourite refreshing summer treat?

Mine are Mars Ice Cream Bars, and my own personal crushed Ice drink I call an Orange Brain Freezie!" Very Happy

Mmm, I'm having one right now *slurp*

Another Crazy Idea, brought to you by. . . ME Smile

Who else?

Don't try this at home kids Very Happy

------------------------------
To make it I take some orange soda, freeze it for a few hours in the coldest part of the freezer, have great fun smashing it into tiny little chunks with a clean ice-hammer/pick, pour it into a glass that was also chilling in the freezer, and add a few splashes of chilled orange from the fridge. For the full brain freeze effect, try to drink it all before it melts Very Happy

I like mine with a splash of orangey Southern Comfort, but of course this is only for those of "drinking age" Wink

For neater ice I tend to use a professional Ice-crushing machine, which can be had on ebay for about $30-40 USD.

As stated above, I don't recommend trying this at home, and if you do, I won't be held responsible for any frozen brains. Very Happy

Don't worry about mine, it was toast long ago Very Happy

If you do wanna drink one, don't hold the glass with your bare hands because:
A) this makes it get warm quicker and isn't as tasty, and
2) your hands might get freezer burn and stuck to the glass.

But enough of my usual craziness, what's your favourite summer refresher?

mmm, I might have to try that, it sounds really good. I usually just freeze juice in a plastic cup with a spoon in it, and stir it to keep it from freezing all the way. Or a freeze juice in icecube trays then throw it in the blender! But my true favorite summer drink is freshly made iced tea (unsweetened!).

TEC usually gets one of the following:

- Wendys Frostie
- Starbucks Strawberrys and Creme
- McDonalds Sundae

There used to be an ice cream shop on the way back to Mikey's house. But they closed ... sniff sniff .. they had an awesome Georgia Peach flavor.

@ME - shouldn't it be the rainy season over there... Last time I was in the UK (North Ireland, but either way) like June - July was all wet... But then again I was a kid and still mentally retarded...

But on the side note, for a nice drink, take some ice and mix it with the Fruit Punch mix at WalMart (its the cheap stuff, IDK the brand name, but it comes in a can of like 5 pouches)

Mix it with some Ice (don't dump the whole thing in O.o)

Add some water and BOOM, you got yourself a non-syrup based Slurpee!

They can be, but they are probably Virgin

No, the whole point of a Shirley Temple is that it is NON-alcoholic. If you put booze in it, it's instantly something else, like a Cosmopolitan or something. Here's a little wiki for ya:
