Alcoholic Recipes

1. Crantini

I’m sure you’ve all heard of and tried a similar version of this before, but it’s truly a cheap drink with only two ingredients. If this is too “basic” for you, you can spice it up with adding some lime juice or even fresh cranberries as a garnish. Either way, it’ll be a crowd pleaser! 

3 1/2 ounces vodka (any cheap one will do)

1/2 ounce cranberry liqueur or any cranberry juice

      2. Highball

If you just need a break from studying and have a night out, but don’t want to break the bank, you should order this. It’s simple and cheap, especially if you’re having a get together with friends!

Ginger ale

You can mix it up by also adding any juice to sweeten it up!
