As a senior in college preparing for graduation, I have had my share of alcoholic drinks and tasted many. From shots to mixed drinks to wine coolers, I’d have to say mixed drinks are my favorite, and I’m stuck between my all-time favorites being Cranberry and Vodkas, Long Island Iced Teas, Fuzzy Navels and Blue Mother F—ers. Blue Motha F—ers seem to be my drink of choice, though.

This delectable and tasty beverage, with its sea-blue color and its resemblance of blue raspberry Gatorade, is the perfect drink to have in your hand when you want to keep it cute and classy at a club or get ready for a night on the town with friends. And it looks so pretty! Follow these simple steps, try these two different recipes to give it a taste and see which one tastes better! And always remember: Have fun but be responsible when drinking!

Recipe 1:

Ingredients
1/2 ounce of vodka
1/2 ounce of gin
1/2 ounce of rum
