Cape Codder It's funny how we're posting all these summer stories when the season doesn't "offically" begin for another two weeks. But we all know that summer really began on Memorial Day.

Food Network has their list for the Top 10 Summer Cocktails. None of the choices are really surprising, though I don't see how sangria is listed at #2, ahead of Gin & Tonic, Pina Colada, and Long Island Iced Tea. And is a Martini really a top summer drink? I think it's probably a big drink in general all year round, but I think that I would have put another drink in that slot before a Martini.

The site also has links to the recipes for each drink.

No margarita either?

What's summer without a margarita?

Actually, my quibble is less with the particulars of the list than with having to click an extra link to find out what's on it.

I'm way lazy, even before a margarita.

(But if you're going to click an extra link anyway, you could always visit an obscure health and fitness blog that is obviously in need of attention).

Or perhaps its best not to encourage the annoying http://crankyfitness.blogspot.com/.

For me, the first day of summer is the first day I have a Pimms and lemonade.

...although I have to admit that I prefer Plymouth Fruit Cup.

What about the Spatini? That sounds like a summer martini drink...

The list looks as though it was put together by amateurs, for amateurs.
