Mixed Drink Monday: Throwback Week 7

Is this the mid-point of summer?  At least so, right?  We are more than halfway through my boys' summer break so I guess for us we're in the back half of summer!  4th of July always feels like the halfway point and we're past that now.  Many of these originally posted right around there too! And I actually remember making almost all of these!
