Back To School Cocktails

Now that summer is coming to an end, it's time to get back into the swing of long nights, homework, and having to wake up for than 7:30 A.M. class all over again. Here are Five Back to School Cocktails that are sure to get you through the hard days if you're 21 and drink responsibly!

1. Summer Ain't Over, Drink a Raspberry Arnold Palmer


Mix 4 cups of iced tea, 8 cups of lemonade, 4 shots of vodka (regular or berry flavored), 2 cups of raspberries, and mint for garnish. This cocktail is reminiscent of summer and will bring you back to those nights you had no cares in the world. Who doesn't love fruity drinks?

2. Erase Your Woes with the Pencil Eraser


Shake together 4 ounces of simple syrup, 6 ounces of regular vodka, 1 ounce of cranberry juice, along with 8 lemon wedges. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a strawberry to feel pretty in red and erase the mistakes of the day. Failed an exam? This is the drink for you.

3. No Sleep Tonight, it's Time for a Late Night at the Library


Take 1.5 ounces of Bourbon, 0.75 ounces of lemon juice, 0.75 ounces of hazelnut and caramel syrup, and two bar spoons of coffee liqueur. The taste of coffee and hazelnut will remind you of your local java with a little kick for those late nights. Coffee 24/7? Sounds good to me.

4. It's All Science to Me with the Scientist Slushie


Put 1 and a half cups of ice, 1/2 a cup of frozen blackberries and blueberries, 12 large strawberries, 1 and a half cups of lemon-lime soda, 1/2 a cup of gin, and a tablespoon of sugar into the blender. Although in science experiments you must be exact, the Scientist Slushie will allow you to be a little less precise. It's like summer all over again.

5. TA too Hot you Need a Drink? Try the Cool for Teacher


In a blender, mix 1 small watermelon cut into cubes, 1 bottle of white wine, and 1 liter of seltzer water. This easy drink is sure to cool you down with a garnish of lime slices added to finish.

No matter your taste, these cocktails are sure to get you back in the feel for school while having a little fun with your friends.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
