Re: Though Raymond Chandler made a mediocre gimlet
I don't disagree with your first paragraph at all; Mrs. Bueller and I make a pilgrimage to the Outer Banks every October. Corona seems like a natural.
As to the second point, these aren't rules at all. They're guidelines. I like the idea of changing things up, and a seasonal switch is as good a reason as any.
On GGG's point about clear beverages: I get to China, on average, once a year for the last ten years. Mou Tai is the national hootch of China. It is used in a game called Get the Westerner Drunk, which the Westerner usually doesn't realize he is playing. The taste is gasoline, but with a longer aftertaste. Toasts are performed which require one to down a shot of the stuff frequently if you are the guest of honor. Hand to God true story: I was given a free trip to Hohhot Inner Mongolia for drinking my host into oblivion. The forty pounds I've put on since my athletic days was a big help.
