For those of you that are of age, here are some delicious cocktails to give you the full spring break experience. The drink recipes may vary, depending on your destination and how strong you like your drinks.
If you aren't going somewhere warm and tropical for spring break, that's okay! We recommend making one of these in your kitchen and taking it, along with your floaties, to the bath tub. Cheers!
1. Electric lemonade
Vodka, blue curacao and sour mix are poured into the glass. Then, it's filled to the top with lemon-lime soda and garnished with a lemon wedge.
2. Mojito
10-ish crushed mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar are muddled in a glass. The glass is then filled to the top with ice, and rum is added. Carbonated water is used to fill the glass, and then it's garnished with a lime wedge. Maybe check to see if you have any mint leaves stuck in your teeth before smiling at the hot life guard.
3. Michelada
Clamato, a lager, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and Maggi Seasoning are mixed, added to a glass of ice, and garnished with a lime. Then, a combination of salt and chili powder is added to the rim of the glass.
4. Piña Colada
Ice, pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and white and dark rums are blended until smooth and frosty. This frozen drink is garnished with pineapple slices.
5. Strawberry Daiquiri
Light rum, triple sec orange liqueur, lime juice, sugar, strawberries, and ice are blended. The frozen drink is garnished with a strawberry.
6. Miami Vice
A piña colada and a strawberry daiquiri mixed together, because you're high maintenance.
7. Bob Marley
This layered drink has grenadine at the bottom, creme de menthe in the middle, and 151 mixed with creme de banana on the top. Possibly frozen if you need to cool your hot-self off.
8. Scooby Snack
Rum, creme de banana, melon liqueur and pineapple juice are poured into a shaker over ice and shaken with whipped cream. It's then strained into a glass, taken as a shooter because, you know, it's just a snack.
9. Tequila Sunrise
This cocktail is made of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine, and served unmixed in the glass. Snaps to the young ones who haven't ruined tequila for themselves yet.
10. Sex on the Beach
Vodka, peach schnapps, orange (or pineapple) juice, and cranberry juice are added to a shaker filled with ice. It's then strained into a glass of fresh ice and garnished with an orange slice. Can you even say that you were a college kid on spring break if you didn't have (a) sex on the beach?
