Favorite Summer Time drink...that isn't Coffee

* Chris; a Thai Basil (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012605-thai-basil-bliss) cocktail... When you want a refreshing drink-drink
* Crush basil leaves and pineapple chunks. Add this to a shaker with some ice. Drizzle some simple syrup, a couple shots of tequila (depending on how bad your day was), and add a squirt of lime juice. Shake it, don't break it, and strain it into your glass. #Consume
* AJ; San Pellegrino (http://www.sanpellegrino.com/us/en)+ Pok Pok Som (https://pokpoksom.com/)
* “Pok Pok Som drinking vinegar is a refreshingly sweet and tart, fruit and vinegar-based beverage handcrafted in Portland, Oregon using quality US-made organic cane vinegar and fresh whole fruits, herbs and spices – no artificial flavoring.”
