Sometimes, when it comes to our drinks, all we want is simplicity.

Simple ingredients, easy to make, tasty, and above all—fun. Whether you’re out with your girls or hanging inside the dorm celebrating the end of a horrible midterm, fun shots that won’t break the bank are the way to go.

Here’s a two-ingredient shot that tastes awesome. It’s named after one of the best ice cream treats of all time, and, vodka has almost no carbs, so you can have your treat without feeling guilty.

…Although I would never advocate for the total elimination of ice cream from your diet. Ice cream is holy.

Banana Split

1 oz. good quality vodka*

maraschino cherries (optional)

Add the liqueur to your shot glass after the vodka. Stir once and drink. Bite into a maraschino cherry afterwards to take some of the edge off. Read More »

Who doesn’t like pie?

I love pie. Especially banana cream pie. I never eat that much of it—I can feel myself expanding with each bite—but on the special occasions that I do get a little taste of that sinful goodness, I’m in a heaven usually reserved for conversations with incredibly hot dudes.

Imagine my joy when I discovered this drink.

Banana Cream Pie

• 1 part banana liqueur

• 1 part crème de cacao

• 1 part vodka

• 1 part half-and-half

Pour all your liquor into a shaker with ice. Shake it up nice and good, and then strain it into shot glasses. Don’t let this stuff sit around…the mixture will get warm and gross if you do.

And always remember to drink responsibly. Nothing says drunk and moronic like the girl with banana liqueur all over her shirt.
