What's good to drink in the summer, liquor, wine, mixed drinks?

You might consider Pastis. That is what they drink around the Med. Basically add a bit of ice and water. Nice in the warm weather IMO.
+1 very refreshing.
I personally prefer a session IPA or a GOOD Pilsner for a beer. But when it comes to liquor, I stick with whiskey, neat. Occassionally perhaps in some ginger ale (or beer, if I have it).
G&T, Pimms or Sipsmith Summer Cup. I have also enjoyed the Jeremiah Weed Ginger Kentucky Style Cider Brew in a Jam Jar. A great non alcoholic drink is a Lemon, Lime and Bitters....
Definitely one of my favorite summer after dinner drinks.
There's a lot of Mastika going down around parts of the Med, too. I like that stuff, too!
Try it with soda instead of water. It doesn't change the drink very much, but IMO makes it more interesting and less of a meal-related drink
Moscow Mule, Gin and Tonic, Mojito, Mint Juleps, pretty much any rum drink, white wine like a good Chardonnay.
Try Aperol spritz. Very refreshing.
+100, I'm a big fan of the Campari/Aperol spritz. As well as the Americano with a good vermouth.
I'm going to be trying out a lot of white wine cocktails this summer, and shrub cocktails.
I have 2:
Gin mixed with 7-Up and some grenadine.
Pina Colada.

Pina Colada.
Gin and tonic, Cuba Libre, and a Hurricane.
G&T, Moscow Mule, Big Ginger.
Here's my two cents.
Wine: In addition to the already good recommendations, try a Vino Verde. I'm partial to Gazela. It is cheap, tasty, and refreshing.
Beer: I think in the summer time it's hard to beat a good Pilsner. Hefeweizen is really good as well.
Liquor: Gin & Tonic, Tom Collins, Pegu Club, Hemingway Daiquiri, Gin Basil Smash, Whiskey Smash.
Enjoy!!
