Let me preface with:
- This post is not meant to encourage alcoholism
- I don't drink often
That disclaimer out of the way, I thought it might be fun to share some mixed drinks that we all like. Either our own or a normal recipe with a unique(ish) twist.
And because it's my idea, I have the responsibility to start:
Capt Morgan and cherry coke with lime juice (preferably via actual real cherries and lime). So, a Cuba Librea with a twist.
Anyone else wanna play?

When on vacation, we love a Kiera-Colada, named after the friend who first created it. A pina colada but add fresh mint to the blender.
SOOOOO good.

You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.

A generous splash of Southern Comfort topped off with 7-Up, Sprite, or Ginger Ale. Repeat as needed.
Don’t listen to your head, it’s easily confused. Don’t listen to your heart, its fickle. Listen to your soul, God doesn't steer you wrong.

My new summertime refresher cocktail is Blackberry Bird Dog bourbon and lemonade.
I'll probably drink it in the winter also.
