My fiancee wants me to have a drink with him every now and then, and i've found i only like the drinks that are fruity, like Smirnoff raspberry and the hard lemonade.

But i'd like to expand my drinks of choice x3

This is probably not what you have in mind, but the only fruity drink I can think of is hairy buffalo, where you put a whole bunch of cut up fruit in like, a bucket, and pour booze over it, and then eat the fruit and drink the liquid. Not classy stuff, but it's tasty. It wouldn't be a drink either, it'd be enough for a party.

Ummm, vodka mixes well with about any fruit juice. Blue Moon with an orange slice is a delicious, fruity wheat beer. White or pink wine is fruity. Peach schnapps and orange juice is a Fuzzy Navel. Uhhh that's all I got. Cheers!

vodka + orange juice is the classic screwdriver.

you might want to consider blended fruit drinks like margaritas and daquiris. There's so many variations and they contain either tequila or rum, depending on which one you're making.

Oh Daiquiri sounds good :3
Screw driver doesnt sound bad either...I looked up that a Adam and Eve Martini was fruity as well, but the alcohol is a little pricey.

Sangria heart I make it the lazy way: red wine, and whatever fruit I either feel like or have at the time. Apples, peaches, and all sorts of berries work the best. Just mix and let it sit for a bit for the fruit add its flavors.

More official recipes call for wine, some brandy, some sort of fruit juice (orange, apricot, grape), a bit of sugar and then the fruit. I never have brandy on me and I don't think it's so necessary to add sugar when it's already sweet.

Not really fruity, but there's always the way I make margaritas:
1 1/2 oz tequila
1 oz lime juice (i find key lime tastes the best if you can find the good kind of juice)
3/4oz agave nectar
3/4oz water

We always vary the ingredients. I like more lime juice, while my husband likes more tequila. And you can always add strawberry to make it more fruity.

Another fruit drink I've been dying to make is you cut up a bunch of strawberries and put it in a jar, then fill it with tequila and let that sit closed up in the fridge for about 21 days.

This site always has fruit recipes: Liqurious

One of my favorite drinks is a Tequila Sunrise; my mom made it for me the first time I had it and I fell in love. It's sooo pretty....

Fill a glass with crushed ice. (optional)
Pour a shot (or more) of tequila into glass.
Fill the glass almost full with orange juice.
Stir with spoon.
Hold the spoon in the center of the glass.
Pour the grenadine down the spoon.
Pull the spoon straight up, and out of the glass, without stirring.
Give the grenadine time to sink to the bottom of the drink.
Garnish with sliced orange and maraschino cherry.

replace the vodka with champagne and you have a Mimosa.
