College means drinking crappy beer and overly potent “punch” that comes with a five dollar cover charge and people you do not know all up in your business.
Summer vacation as a college student means drinking just as much but less of the crappy beer and deadly punch. However, without the alcohol choices provided for you by your favorite fraternity men, most girls will immediately go to wine. THERE ARE OTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OUT THERE GIRLS! I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with wine, I’m having a glass right now as I write, but the recent obsession with said drink is turning into yet another “basic girl” trait. Before grabbing for the bottle, give these drinks a try.
1: Sangria
Yes, this is essentially wine with chopped up fruit in it, but it’s fantastic and refreshing. Plus, you get to squish the fruit with your straw and then eat it once you finish your drink.
2: Jameson or other whiskeys
Sip, do not shoot! Jameson is a sipping whiskey, and although it sounds like an old man’s drink, it is incredibly smooth and great to drink when reading a book or sitting on a deck with friends relaxing.
3: Beer
Find a beer you like, not one that is being handed out at a fraternity party. Get one of the mix-and-match six packs from your local grocery store and try a few until you find a winner. I personally enjoy the RAZ-ber-rita tall boys if that helps!
4: Vodka Lemonade
Tipsy Bartender has some great recipes for different lemonades that not only taste good but are pretty too! Lemonade in the summer is a must so what could be so bad about alcoholic lemonade?
5: Screwdriver
It's vodka, orange juice, and ice; completely doable.
* 6: Popsicles
- Wine
- Vodka and juice
- Vodka, Sprite, and gummy bears
Basically, anything your heart desires.
Do not forget water! Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate while you drink
