Here's my take on the Southwest Cosmo offered at Crush in Amarillo. They wouldn't give up the recipe so I had to experiment a bit.

Damn good cocktails.

3 ingredients makes a cocktail, right?

I had a jug of lemonade in the fridge and went 2 parts vodka, 1 part lemonade, 1 part topo Chico. Extremely refreshing.

Spaghett

It's basically an aperol spritz with Miller High Life instead of prosecco or sparkling wine.

-Take a swig of a bottle of High Life
-1oz of aperol
-squeeze a lemon wedge into the neck.

That's basically it. I think just about any citrus will do. I've used orange, grapefruit, lemon, tangelos, etc. I've never tried it with lime though. I bet a bit of Buddha's Hand would be an excellent substitute.

Big fan of these myself. Cheat code is to use the Ultra Infusions with Lime and just add aperol to that.

Never had a rum & tonic. Will have to try it. Tonic water mixes are great in the summer.

Swap in gin, add some simple syrup and it's an Eastside Rickey. Just had one after work.

mojito
margarita
paloma
sangria

2nd the G&T. Simple and refreshing. Be sure to use a good London dry gin, preferably Tanqueray. (Beefeater and Gordon's are OK.)

I didn't know that was the stuff. We have that. I just made my first Dripping Springs, lime, tonic, and Tajin. That's addictive.

Highly underrated post and the only great cocktail posted so far. It is in the top 3 of my favorite cocktails. Might be #1.

You forgot the luxardo maraschino cherry garnish.
