Poisons: Iced teas and lemonades

Finish out the summer with these alcoholic approaches to seasonal classics

The waning days of summer call for languid evenings or naps in the sun; it's a time for savoring the more sensual aspects of life. But it's often difficult to escape the heat, chock-a-block traffic or the cubicle doldrums. For that, we give you refreshing spiked iced teas and lemonades (plus a couple bonus drinks) you can find in Baltimore-area restaurants. Think of them as little vacations for your mind, body and taste buds.—Lindsay Smith, special to Metromix
