i've had that particular cocktail before, cept it was being served from a spigot on the bottom of a five gallon plastic bucket. oh, and grain alcohol instead of vodka. they called it, curiously, "hop, skip, and go naked". really.

your version sounds far more civilized.

hop, skip, and go naked

Oh lord, PGA drinks are evil, pure and simple. I've been to many a forgotten frat party where some vile version of PGA punch was served, and I'm happy to report that I lived to drink another day. XD

Funny, we call a drink we make with coconut rum and pineapple orange juice "a hop, skip, and go naked". It's said to be because after the first one you hop, after the second you skip, and after the third one you'll probably end up going naked! Thankfully I have never witnessed this, but it's a good name nonetheless.

I dunno how to make homemade pimiento cheese.... do you have a recipe?

[nathangphd]

I'll see if I can snag it from my neighbor. My aunt makes a version too (evidently almost everyone in the South either makes it or knows somebody who will make it for them) but it's the more tangy version.

oooo! tytytyt!

Rum might work, but I think the (mostly) flavorlessness of the vodka is what gives the drink it's... um... "character."

amen to southern summer foods. i've had a tomato sandwich every day for the past week. i even put a little finely chopped Vidalia onion in my mayo.

My grandfather made great pimento cheese. It wasn't sweet, so when I first encountered that "spread" you buy, I nearly died. He just used good sharp cheddar, pimentos and Kraft mayo. I don't think he added anything else, but it blended it better than I've ever been able to. I'm not sure what his secret was. (I add a DAB of cream cheese to mine)

Summer beer sounds wonderful. I'm filing that one away! Thanks!
