Summer Sips

Coffee-coffee-coffee – Mike Doucette

Bloody Mary when I'm not preggers! – Holly Barnett

My favorite non-alcoholic would be an Arnold Palmer. Half tea, half lemonade with a little mint added. Alcoholic would be a Captain Morgan Private Stock and Coke with twist of lime (Cuba Libre) or a Malibu (coconut rum) and pineapple juice. There is also vodka soda with a splash of orange juice…Oh there is also the John Dailey which is an Arnold Palmer with bourbon...tee hee…With crawfish, shrimp, crab and that kind of fare, it must be an ice cold beer.
