Some of these sound great!  The sodas sound good too.

From  Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor  
Here's  a secret: I drink those pink-type drinks only  when I'm on vacation 
so as to keep my appearance  of rugged manliness. But it's not really 
summer  without some fun drinks of various colors and  different things stuck on 
or sticking out of the  glass. 

_Easy  Sangria_ (http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/11nC)  
OK, I  lied. Any time of the year, any time of the day, if  you put sangria 
in front of me I'm drinking it. Heck,  I have reasons readily at hand. 
Winter? Warms me up.  Summer? Cools me down. 10am? It's cocktail time  
somewhere, friend.

_Making Soda  Pop With Strawberries_ (http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/11nD)  
With  prime strawberry season right around the corner, now  is a great time 
to practice making this soda pop with  something else (without wasting 
awesome strawberries).  Like an onion. Except it would be gross. Don't look at  
me, sister. It's your onion.

_Beers You  Should Know_ (http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/11nE)  
I bet  you're wondering what I have to drink when my face is  buried in 
nachos and cheese is dripping from my  mustache. What, am I an animal? Of 
course I drink  beer. And, in fact, my favorite beer happens to be  number one on 
this list. No, no, there's no arguing.  That beer is the best and that's 
all there is to it.  In fact, Beer Guide Eddy could just delete the other  
nine and no one would be worse off. It's really that  good.

_First-Rate  Rosés_ (http://slclk.about.com/?zi=1/11nF)  
My buddy  BestMan Bill (was best man at my wedding) once brought  over some 
Rosé one hot summer night because we were  having Indian food. I was upset 
because I figured it  was going to be way too sweet. I needed a taste to be  
sure. And then another. And then another. Two bottles  later... It wasn't 
too sweet.
