BREAKING NEWS: 2018 Drink of The Summer Released!

I don’t know if you guys know this, but Summer is coming quick. Most people will say it has already begun, what with Memorial day passing and schools finishing up. Not me. I’m a calendar guy, through-and-through.

Calendar Guys are rare, but we are the people who look forward to every leap year, know the importance of every holiday- large or small-, and cut all ties with friends and family back in December of 2012.

Being a Calendar Guy, I know summer actually starts June 21^st. But I know some people have Antz (the famous Woody Allen movie) in their pants, and want a taste of what's to come. So, I have the perfect thing for you anxious people… THE DRINK OF THE SUMMER 2018!

Recently on a bachelor party, my friend Brian Fahey and I were just enjoying some drinks by the pool. We weren’t looking for the Drink of the Summer, but Columbus wasn’t looking for America and Woody Allen wasn’t looking to make the best animated movie focusing entirely on Antz, but both seem pretty happy about where they ended up. Brian and I both drink, so I think we are qualified to make decisions on what is good and what is not good.

But after a few sips, Brian and I had figured out what will be the this year's DRINK OF THE SUMMER. Drum roll please…

VODKA LEMONADES

Look, you may not have heard about this drink before, biut it’s surprisingly simply to make.

HOW TO MAKE THE DRINK OF THE SUMMER:

What you need:

- Ice
- Drinking Glass

- Vodka (any brand)

- Lemonade (story bought or home made)

Directions:

1. Fill up your ice tray with H20 (water), and wait for it to freeze in your freezer.

2. While it freezes, run to the store to pick up your lemonade and Vodka. Lemonade is normally in the drink section and vodka is normally in the alcohol section.

3. If you run into someone you know at the store, don’t let them know what you are making. They may want to hang out and steal some of your Vodka Lemonade. 

4. Once you get home, check the ice. It may still need some time. If that is the case, watch Season two of "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix.

5. After the final episode, while you are contemplating if you spent your time wisely, pull the ice out of the freezer.

6. Put the ice in a glass. The number of cubes is up to you. I usually like to fill the glass entirely with Ice to make it cold and refreshing.

7. Fill about half the glass with the vodka. Feeling dangerous? Fill the entire glass with vodka!

8. Fill the rest of the glass with Lemonade! If you felt dangerous before, still throw a splash of lemonade in so you aren't the weirdo drinking just vodka on ice. 

9. Finally, clear your schedule because you are now the mayor of Vodka Lemonade Town and the population is just you.

Enjoy summer folks. Highly recommend, again, waiting until June 21^st to enjoy (responsibly) one of these beauties, but you could always go for a test run. Tweet @kylemil99 every time you have a vodka lemonade too! I will shamelessly retweet it.

Lylas.
