In the
summertime, when you can't make it to the
beach on a beautiful day, it may half-suffice to just go outside and
chill in the vicinity of your residence, unless you have lots of enemies who like
drive-bys. Here are 4
drinks that are solo servings if you prefer your own company along with the
breeze.

Stir with ice, strain and and serve straight up in a chilled glass. Drop some cranberries in to garnish.
