As a college student, we all enjoy a night out. Although alcohol isn’t needed to have fun, it sure helps! Here are some of my favorite drink recipes.

1. Icy Pink Lemonade

Put this all into your *shaker*: Combine a scoop of ice, 1 and a half shots of Pink Whitney, 1 shot of Triple Sec, 1 a shot of cranberry juice, half a shot of lemon juice. Then shake and strain. Lastly, top with Smirnoff Ice!
2. Vodka Cran- A College Staple

Literally just put this in a solo cup: 2 shots of vodka and top with cranberry juice!
3. Spiked Cherry Limeade- Refreshing Summer Drink

Put this in your cup of choice! 1 and a half shots of vodka, 3 shots of limeade, and a splash of grenadine.
4. Long Island Iced Tea- Knock You Out

In your shaker: Combine Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Rum, Triple Sec Sour Mix, and then shake it up! Fill your cup with a splash of coke, then strain into your cup.
5. Lemon Drop

In your cup of choice add 2 shots of vodka, half a shot of triple sec, and 1 shot of lemon juice. This one can also be made as a shot!
6. Rum and Coke

Come on, you know what it is, another college staple! Add 2 shots of rum and a splash of coke in a cup with ice!
7. Dirty Shirley

In a cup of your choice add sprite, grenadine, and as much vodka as you desire!
