On days when it’s hot, all we want to do is stay cool. Today, my A/C stopped working. Just so you all realize how awful that is for me, I live in Houston, TX, it was 100 degrees today, and I’m from the lovely Pacific Northwest… Washington, Oregon, Idaho. Let’s just say, I’m getting used to the temps after having lived here for a year, but I’m still not accustomed to sitting in an 80 degree apartment with 75% humidity. Oh, and I don’t own a fan… So, for all of you who get hot during summer, or just like cold drinks, here’s a tasty sounding drink that’s sure to quench your thirst while sitting out by the pool, or whatever your summer-time activities may include. 21+ only.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups peach nectar
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 1/2 cups light rum
  • 1 cup club soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp grenadine

Just combine all of the ingredients in a 2-quart pitcher, chill, and serve over ice!
