I hate to say it, but I like drinks with umbrellas: strawberry daiquiri's
and their cousins. Not had one in years though... When I was around 12 I
went to a cousins wedding and kept drinking punch out of a bowl. That had a
spike in it. Being 12 and naive I just thought it was punch.... but about
a half hour later, things got a bit weird. I remember going outside and the
sun being a bit brighter than usual, and the ground not as firm as it
usually was.
