I just came up with a summer drink that has probably already been created before, but oh well. Such a drink would probably get tagged Aunt Somebody nice's Baja Party Urine, so I'll call it Funemployment instead.
Funemployment
1 part chilled vodka
1 part mojito mix (limeade will do in a pinch)
1 part club soda
toothpick with peeled lychee, lime wedge, and pineapple - bonus points if you create a stick figure person with fruit and toothpicks.
fresh mint
Fill a highball glass with crushed ice, pour vodka over ice. Add club soda, top off with mojito mix. Stir with fruited toothpick, leave inside glass to garnish when done. Finally, garnish with sprig of fresh mint. It is great because it's not too sweet, which is my main problem with most drinks made with mixers. I also love using beakers as glasses, but with the whole methlab explosion it's hard for me to find places that will sell beakers. I need to get more creative and find a workaround to this problem.
**edit: If I had some grelicious Appleton Estate, I would make a real mojito...but I had to go with ingredients that I had on hand, which included vodka instead of rum.
