carolinw pointed me to these rather knock-out drinks:

• Feuerzangenbowle (in German)
• Long Island Ice Tea (in English)

after I had explained Finnish strawberry punch to her, which is simple:

Dress and lightly sugar a kilogram of strawberries, pour over a whole bottle of vodka, leave to stand in warm place for at least four hours. Pour on one or two bottle of sugar-free seven-up (depending on how strong you want it). It is very, very strawberry-y.-

This is what we used to drink in Verona -- only lightly inebriating, very refreshing, and just the thing to enjoy in the open air on a warm evening.
