    Urbanite's Tabloid Tour crew recently trekked the Queens nabe of Jackson Heights for an insider look at its historic garden apartments, courtesy of the Jackon Heights Beautification Group.

    We happened to make this journey during the heat wave when it was 106 degrees - which prompted many a beverage break. And luck for the intrepid Tabloid gang, we ended up at Espresso77 (35-57 77th St.) - a tiny coffee shop that serves up, hands down, the best summer drink this city has to offer: the Honey Mint Limonata.

    It's a slushy lime concoction fused with fresh crushed mint. A large goes for $4.50, a small for $3.25. So this is just our opinion: we think everyone should head to Jackson Heights on the next hot day and try one.

    But we want to hear from you too - so send us photos of your nominations for best summer beverage [HERE] (Look in the lower right corner of this pop-up to upload your own photo). The challenge begins.
