Back in my drinking days, my absolute favorite was a Three Mile Island Cocktail. It's not only a tasty drink but entertainingly colorful to watch the bartender mix up.

There are many variations but this is how I liked it:

You start off with a shot of Triple Sec, Vodka, Rum, then Midori which gives it its green color. Then, add a splash of 7-up, sweet and sour, and lastly the grenadine which turns it to pink. Top it with a cherry.

It's a masterpiece!

Now my poison is usually a scotch on the rocks. Johnny Walker and I have become good friends these days. Vodka and pink lemonade topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries is my fruity summer refreshment.

Vino is good too.
