It's almost time to release Charleston Tea, so how about one more teaser photo?
And as promised, here's a chance to win a pre-release copy of the pattern.
In the comments below, tell me what you'd be drinking after a great summer day on the beach, at the pool, or by your local lake. You know, when the air cools back down and you put your hoodie on. When the grill is heating up and your sunburn begins to set in....
----------------
I'll chose three random entries (by order #) on Saturday afternoon (after we return from NHS&W) and the winners will get a free PDF of Charleston Tea, without having to wait until next week!
(Be sure to include an email or a Ravelry name so I can find you.)

Ravname: jdonze
Ice cold vodka with fresh grapefruit juice and splash of lemon pellegrino.....YUM!!
A cold Staropramen followed by a cup of tea chaser.
Lynchburg Lemonade, which in my case is just whiskey and lemonade.
Can't wait to see the front of this sweater!
A gin and tonic--what else?
Peach Sangria...or vodka tonics...
Rav name: hearts812
I think I gotta go with the gin. Gin and lemon lime seltzer...so refreshing!
hot lemonade. I get chilly
A mug of decaf tea for those cooler evenings..... am I boring or what?
I think I'd be drinking a glass of crisp white wine.
I love a nice, smooth glass of Cabernet, yum. Of course, this is after a couple of "Pum Runches" on the beach. LOL (rav name: tennisgirl)
I love a combo of guava nectar and Sierra Mist - so tropical and refreshing!
Usually after a day at the beach, we have a glass of wine (mine white, his red) at first, then later move on to martinis or gin & tonic. (Though now that I write this, I realize that we do that more than just after a day at the beach ...)
Anyway, if I'm lucky enough to win, my e-mail address is: thekittyknitterATverizonDOTnet
I would be drinking a grapefruit margarita! Can't wait to see this pattern it looks fantastic!
Rav name = susanknits
I always have a "Radler", which could be translated as "biker" :-). In Austria, this is a popular mix of beer and a kind of ginger ale, or some other soda - lemon is quite good too. Very refreshing and perfect with something grilled.

Baileys on the rocks!!

Gin and tonic! There is no substitute! :)

:) Canaandogknits
I'd be drinking aTwisted Tea, so appropriate to go with this pattern! Linda or MTknitter on Ravelry
I'm a beer girl - love a Belgian Moon w/ a slice of fresh lemon when it's hot, or a Pale Ale... not so picky, although I prefer the heavier stouts in winter.
A nice Woodchuck Cider!
(AmandaEve on Rav)
I'm not much of a drinker but on a hot day, vodka and iced tea with lemon is so refreshing!!
Thanks for the giveaway of this fabulous pattern!
Rav name: amalya
Well, I love a good glass of iced tea with a slice of lemon during the day, before it is cooler. But hoodie up, in a lawn chair, chatting around the fire: a good local beer is perfect. :)
My mom and I make some wonderful sangria that we enjoy a lot in the summer. I think I'd drink that. :-) Rav name: slippinginbetween
I will be drinking a mojito or two,, made with muddled mint fresh from our garden!
Definitely a Mexican Madras by the pool...now just waiting for the warm weather to arrive!

Margarita ... yummy tart and refreshing :)

I'd drink Tequila Sunrise; orange juice, tequila and grenadine. Yummy!! :)

I would be sitting around a camp-fire drinking Dark-N-Fluffy. It is like drinking a smore. Here is a link
http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodkadrinkrecipes/r/Dark-N-Fluffy-Cocktail.htm
A nice Weizen beer with a thin slice of lemon - learned to do that in southern Germany, long ago. Although the Sangria sounds nice too!
woolyminded on Rav
A slightly chilled glass of kombucha
~raeraggs on Ravelry
Caffeine free diet coke for me! So boring but such is life for a breastfeeding mama!

I am dying for Charleston Tea to be released Thea! My favorite beverage is a good plain ole Margharita, with salt, on the rocks! My rav name is fabriholic23
Campari with Peachschnaps filled up with Champagne. Also delicious with self made Orange-infused simple syrup instead of peach. Or Peachschapps and Raspberryliquor w/champagne... Can you tell I love my drinks and mixing them up :-)
Kettle One and tonic with lime...on our screened porch on Cape Cod! How many weeks to our summer vacation?!?

Lani
Gin and Tonic with Fever Tree Tonic!
Solemate....
I'd love to say I'd be dinging some fancy tropical drink...but not being much of a drinkermy drink of choice would be a big iced coffeee or a lemon seltzer.
RavID = donnabriz
For me it's a margarita on the rocks, made with Patron, Cointreau and fresh lime. Ahhhhhh.....
Gemfirefly on ravelry
I would love a red beer, Texas style, but I guess I would settle for a iced coffee mocha!
I would open up an ice-cold bottle of Mexican Coke. They use real sugar. No high-fructose stuff here!
knitterlydesigns on Ravelry
Ahhh, a gin and tonic, with a splash of pink grapefruit juice!
I think I'd like a raspberry lime rickey, thanks!
An iced coffee with a shot of caramel schnapps. Or apple cider with caramel schnapps!
Rav: yooperchic
I'd be drinking a rich, oaky cabernet with my feet up watching the sunset.

With South Carolina summers, nothing beats a good iced tea. I garnish mine with fresh mint from the yard during the summers.
On days like those I like a citrus vodka with a squeeze of lime with a pomegrante/cranberry mix... on ice.
Anna = Cocogoddess @ Ravelry
I'll be drinking a strawberry margarita! :)
A nice fruity glass of sangria for me to help me wind down. Can't wait to see Charleston Tea in its full glory!
Mary
Rav dimsumknitter
I'll have a nice pinot grigio, thank you!
Gin. Lots of gin. Maybe there will be tonic involved, maybe some Pimm's and cucumber, maybe a buttload of lime. But mostly, Gin.
Rav: freshy
Sangria! Ice cold red wine in a large bowl, mixed with orange juice, flavoured with spices (mostly cinnamon), and with plenty slices of oranges and apples in it. Perfect after a day at the beach!
Cheers,
-fernweh- (@ravelry)
I'll be drinking Campari and OJ over ice. Yum.
I had the best margarita on Cinco de Mayo so I would like to continue having those all summer. Can't wait!
Mojito made with fresh mint (that's already overrunning the garden).
Rav Name: Beetsie
Oh, I can't wait for those summer days! Maybe I'll whip one of these up tonight... just to get in the mood!
Limeade and Coconut Rum - yum!
Carla said...
Just plain old iced tea, I'm too busy chasing kids around to be drinking an alcoholic beverage I'm afraid;P
My Ravelry name is blueberrykuspuk
I would likely be drinking a new summer favorite Firefly sweet tea vodka and some lemon aid or a Margarita.
rav name: pyra
Camping trips - after sundown - while we're getting the fire ready - a shot of homemade plum palinka followed by a cold beer... That's how I remember it, although I haven't been in a while
krisztinka@ravelry
I love a mojito in the summer.
Rav: lactivist
That would have to be a glass of chilled white wine. Earlier in the day it would be a mojito.
A cold Reed's Ginger Beer Extra Ginger Brew
ravname: quantumemily
A nice liquor over ice - perhaps Bad Apfel or Bailey's.
An Ice Cold beer.
I would be drinking a tall glass of iced tea with lots and lots of ice!
A Long Island Iced Tea would be perfect.
Calamansi lime-ade!
(Rav ID: jkld11)
An icy glass of buttery Chardonnay would be perfect!
Can't wait to see this new pattern, it looks wonderful!
My favorite is a drink from our honeymoon called a "shipwreck surfer" - coconut rum, amaretto, cranberry juice and pineapple juice. So yummy
~ owensmom on Ravelry
I think a Mojito sounds good after a day at the beach, even a pomegranate mojito just to jazz it up a bit.
- Pushpa (pushpa26 - ravelry)
For some reason, I'm in the mood for a Mudslide!
I love those cables!
I'm not much of a drinker, so I'd probably go for an iced tea. :)
(rav id: karamichele)
Grey Goose and Tonic with lemon bitters and a twist. Now you've got me really wanting a beach day!

A glass of riesling!

I love to make a batch of sangria, sip and knit, sip and knit.... karencreates (rav ID)
On a hot summer day I like my Gin and Tonic with a twist of lime. But when the cold sets in, there is nothing like a little Bailey's and coffee. Yum.
Okie2thdoctor (Ravelry)
I'll be drinking a sangria! :)
And I'm already planning my vacation knitting!

From SnowWhiteMama on Ravelry:
It would not be very difficult to twist my arm for an ice cold Red Stripe in that squatty little bottle.
I would have to say that my go to tends to be a margarita (or a moscow mule!!) but since I'm pregnant this summer, it'll most likely be a LeCroix or some other fizzy water with flavor. Not as fun, I tell you.
Fresh cherry lemonade for me!
- ngaiob on Ravelry
My new favorite drink is the gin sling. A few generous slices of lemon, a teaspoon of powdered sugar, nice glug of gin and enough ice and sparkling water to fill up the glass. So refreshing! It's just like fresh sparkling lemonade.
I have a friend who runs ultra marathons (100 miles - no kidding - on trails!)... she developed a "healthy" version of what I love which is Vanilla Vodka with sparkling water. My friend first makes an "Emergen-C" (the fizzy drink packet from health food stores and elsewhere that contains lots of vitamins and minerals - orange flavor or strawberry is good) with the fizzy water and then adds a shot or so of the Vanilla Vodka. YUM! It's refreshing and has some good for us stuff mixed in. ( :
A Jack and Ginger (Jack Daniel's TN honey and ginger ale). It's nice, easy and adds that little blush to your cheeks. Cannot wait to see the release.
ravelry: admcgowan
A lovely gin and tonic with a slice of lime!
I'd be drinking the beach BBQ beer of course! :) Preferably a Hef or a Carlsberg.
frenchiekisses @ rav
A glass of chilled California chardonnay...
ali-oop @ rav
Looks awesome! My go-to summer drink is a nice dry rose or a super-cold IPA. Thanks for the chance to win. bookgeekgirl at gmail dot com
There was this drink I had when sailing one time. Rum (light colored) and pastche(?) and sugar liquor? with lemon. All I remember is was really good after a sunny/hot day on the water. Helen
I'd be drinking a frozen margarita, but if that was not available, I'd make it a Salty Dog on the rocks!
Sweetened, brewed iced tea would hit the spot for me. I can't drink due to horrible headaches, but people tell me vodka may be safe so I'd love to try some of the wonderful soundng drinks mentioned above!
I will be having a Kir - creme de cassis with white wine!
Ooops - AKA javalulu on ravelry!
A vodka sour - the sour being diet squirt. It's my summer adult bev of choice.
I like mimosas, vodka creamsicles (soft french vanilla ice cream, orange juice, and vodka [or eliminate the juice and use orange flavored vodka] pureed in a blender to a shake-like consistency), or amaretto-cherry coke (add maybe an ounce of amaretto to 12 ounces of cherry coke, over ice). I'm not much of a drinker, I just like dessert :-)
My rav id is jashley, and I can't wait to see the sweater...
A beer, the darker the better.
(my ravelry id is marybeth1199)
Compari and soda used to be my apertif of choice. Compari and grapefruit juice and soda is summer in a glass, and the ultimate refresher.
Rav name: cdncarol
Mmm. During the hot summer days I love a light beer heavily doused with lime...and once the sun starts to go down, but it's still warm enough to BBQ, I love a great Reisling to pair with some grilled veggies and summer salads. YUMMO!
Ice cold wine... Usually a PEJU WHITE OR ROSE!

A hefeweizen with a slice of orange always works :)

Definitely an ice cold gin and tonic, hold the lime!!

reposting 'cause I forgot to include my contact info...sorry!
You're such a tease...
As for drinking, if we're not at home, I'd choose a dry cider, like Rock Creek. But if we're in range of a blender, definitely fresh-squeezed lime margaritas. Yum!
Thanks for the giveaway.
cherylmac on ravelry
Grapefruit juice with mineral water--the bubbly kind--that's the most refreshing drink I know.
Rav name: CarolLynn
Pear Nectar, Splash of Cranberry Juice and Prosecco over crushed ice.
An ice cold Arcadia Whitsun always hits the spot! Since I will be spending most of this summer pregnant with our first baby, I will stick to my childhood standby . . . Shirley Temple!
RavID Wittknitter2011
A Dark and Stormy is my favorite!
It would have to be some kind of frothy, creamy drink with chocolate and Chambourd. Yummy.
I would be enjoying my fave...an ice cold Yuengling. Too bad they are not yet available in Oklahoma...I have to "import" them from the East Coast.
-Caity

It'd have to be margarita!
I would be drinking a glass of red Burgundy or Chianti Classico if it was a "hoodie" evening. mswnola on Ravelry
I am a beer girl. For a beach day, I'd probably go with a corona with a lime wedge shoved into the bottle!
A Shandy (beer mixed w/ lemonade). Or a margarita. Or a pina colada if I'm in a froofy mood. Or perhaps my all-time favorite - Bloody Mary!!! Boy, this made me thirsty....
I will be drinking a lovely glass of Malbec--with my hoodie on
I got so excited about having a cocktail (see above) I forgot to leave my Ravelry name: barrettlisa.
I'd be drinking a glass of Summer Sangria!!

I'd be drinking a glass of Summer Sangria!!
cynshep on ravelry
a margarita, fresh squeezed, please!
probably wine... and since it's georgia, probably a sauvignon blanc. but if we were a bit further north, I think it might be a nice pinot noir. (mere on ravelry)
holy moly, so many drinks to choose from. Is it bad that they all involved alcohol? High on my list would be a chilled white wine, or some fruity bubbly wine cocktail - Amore from TJs, for example. Margaritas have been a big draw this past week, but low-fuss bottle of wine is better if away from home. bigblueice on Ravelry! Thank you!
I'd probably go with a nice glass of Cabernet or maybe a Pinot Grigio. Or then again, I might just have a beer!
Rav name: katgat
If I'm at the beach house: white sangria with fresh mango and mango nectar. I make a pitcher before we head out and it's perfect when we return. If I'm on the beach (bonfire): beer. Prolly Red Stripe.
That's a rough one. Hmmmm, a cold glass of pinot grigio, or a freshly made margarita, or a vodka tonic.
Rav: Dorothy
A fine glass of red wine for me:)
Rav name used on the off chance I actually win lol!
I'd be drinking a cold glass of honey lime-ade made by by youngest daughter.
Rav: andiknits
No question. A margarita. Stirred, not frozen. Love them!
rav: bigdg
ARNOLD PALMER LITE to rehydrate (or water) and then
Talbott chardonnay to aid in healing of sunburn
Absolute and tonic with lime. My go to summer drink!
Rav: christinapurls
A hot chocolate with a shot of kahlua; yum!
My new favorite warm-weather coctail is a Ginger Rogers, but if that isn't available, a Dark & Stormy will do!
arcadienne on Ravelry
Pimm's Cup!
Rav id: agreeleyo
Sangria! (Red? White?) Or perhaps a mojito. I can never decide... Still waiting for warmer weather! (Ravelry: Kamigaeru)
Hot chai tea latte.
shelr (ravelry)
I call it a "Pink Drink": gin, rocks, a splash of pomegranate italian soda and club soda to taste. I think I made it up, but maybe not!
On a cool, hoodie, evening a loverly mug of Chai would hit the spot with me. ABsolUTely ♥ ♥ ♥
Am looking forward to the release of Charleston Tea.
GerryART
A no-brainer. A Miller Lite. Not exotic, but my favorite!
(laurenb on Ravelry)
A big glass of Sangria. Yum!
Here in Minnesota, it can get a little chillly even after those warm days at a lake, so I'd probably go for a good beer or some red wine. brodorothy@gmail.com
A Pimm's Cup, definitely. Pimm's, ginger ale and lemon squeeze with cucumber slices.
Sweet tea vodka and lemonade. My latest favorite.
Rav: martegras
Bombay Sapphire and diet tonic with lime. Would substitute Tanqueray if Bombay had been mysteriously depleted the prior evening. Pattern looks fab!
(juli615 on Rav)
A glass of homemade red sangria.

I'll be drinking "real" iced tea! Brewed from black current tea with honey and dash of lemon squished in... with maybe just a splash or two of pim's. :)
Maybe I should rename it the "charleston tea"!
I'll be drinking my favorite British beverage....Pimms Cup!
I love me some Sex on the Beach during the summer
Kristinaknits on Ravelry
Since I'm gonna be at the beach in a week this is something I need to be thinking about. I hear my friend has a drink something like a mimosa with a scoop of sorbet in it...not sure what it is called. For me...I remain a fan of a good ole gin and tonic.
I forgot my user name
Lakeknitter
Thanks for the contest!
In the summertime, it's mostly cold beer. But I never say no to a good margarita!
(GypsyScarfWoman on Ravelry)
Gee it has been a while since I used to drink alcohol, lol. I guess back then it would have to a pina colada but now it would be an iced coffee!
Well.......a sweet raspberry martini.......that would be relaxing! But also I love passion fruit iced tea for the non alcoholic nights! Love the sweater......looks like it is going to be another winner!
Amylynn1345 on ravelry
In a perfect world either Sangria or some kind of fruity-rum concoction to finish of a fun summer day..
Rav name kysaunny
During the summer when it's sunny, Pimm's Cup, definitely. Once it cools down for the evening, a wheat beer. Cheers!
rav: fiercebadrabbit
probably gin and tonic... if you'd asked a month or so ago, it would have been a 7 & 7 (seagrams and 7up) but drinking gin is just too much like drinking a pine forest to pass up recently!
rav= moonjumper
hmmm..... maybe a nice sauvignon blanc. Or a margarita on the rocks, with salt. Or a Corona, with lime. Or a Blue Moon, with a slice of orange. (Maybe I need a drink right now....)
We've discovered the new Crystal Lite "faux" flavors, and particularly like
Appletini, Mojito, and Margarita flavors. Just put them in a fancy glass and enjoy without calorie guilt!
I'm strictly a beer drinker!
I dunno, it sounds like a cozy drink would be good--operational word was "hoodie" and I've been on the beach after a long day and it get's to feeling chilly. I'd go for an Irish Coffee or any version of a coffee drink at that point.
A big glass of iced tea with lots of ice.
Can't wait!!! Looks beautiful.
rav handle: hnordquist
Cranberry iced tea. Can't wait for the unveiling .
Unfortunately, I do not dring alcohol... but I do like your patterns a lot :-) The new one looks really great :-) Raveler name : knucna
A chilled bottle of Mill St. Organic beer ( a local microbrew) in a big, frosty mug...
Ten & Tonic. Extra lime, easy on the ice.
Anything involving grapefruit juice.
Dark and Stormy -- with dark, dark rum, spicy ginger beer and lots of lime.
Maybe a gin and onic with fresh lime.
Summer to me screams gin and tonic. Last summer we made a lot of side cars. That was our summer drink last year. Maybe we will have a different this summer. Any suggestions?
(rav id kacatalano)
Sangria! Love it ;)

My famous margarita recipe: tequila, limeade, and beer. Sounds bad, but it's so yummy!
