Anyone got summer drink recipes?

This weekend is going to pretty much kick off summer parties for us. Does anyone have yummy summer drink recipes to share? Can be leaded or unleaded, if you know what I mean. And, lighter versions of old favorites are welcome, too.

Here is one my daughter and I concocted. We call it a Florida Suntan. It tastes a little like coco butter. You can make it lighter by using Diet Vanilla Coke:

Florida Suntan

Crushed ice
Vanilla Coke
1 shot of Coconut Rum

Enjoy!
