When asked what the drink — or, rather, drinks — of the summer are, most people would probably name some kind of fruity cocktail. That could be anything from a Dirty Shirley (after all, it does contain vodka, lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, grenadine and a maraschino cherry on top) to an Aperol Spritz or classic Mojito. Some might say it's actually a Daiquiri (which more than just an "adult slushie") or a Pimm's Cup, a New Orleans classic.
But I'd like to humbly agree to disagree. Fruity cocktails are not the drink of this season. In fact, my drink of choice doesn't even contain any alcohol (shocker, innit?). All it calls for is strong brewed espresso, milk, sugar and plenty of ice cubes.
