Here are some Memorial Day drinks to try

Aqua PearlYou surf around the web long enough and you see that there are "theme" drink days for any ocassion. I haven't found one for Arbor Day yet, but I'm sure it's out there.

Associated Content has a list of Memorial Day drinks. I'm not sure what makes them special for today (other than the fact that most of them are summer-ish), but they sound interesting. The Colorado Bulldog combines vodka, coffee-flavored liqueur, cola, and light cream, while the Aqua Pearl features soursop (guanabana) juice, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, blue curacao, and angostura bitters. There's one called Bees Knees II, which sounds like a horror sequel.

After the jump, the full recipe for another drink, the Lunar Lemon Quencher.

Lunar Lemon Quencher

1 1/2 cans frozen margarita mix
1/2 cup rum
6 ounces of lemonade
5 cups of ice
lemon for garnish

Mix the margarita mix, lemonade and rum. Add the ice and blend until uniform, and garnish with lemon slices if you desire. Yields five servings.

My recipe for Colorado Bulldogs is the same on ingredients, but much different on porportion: 1.5 oz vodka (blue label Smirnoff is my fav), .75 oz Kahlua, 2 oz coke, 1.5 ox whole milk. Add with ice to a cocktail shaker, shake, strain, enjoy. Since this drink has a milk product, stirring won't effectively combine; you must shake.
