Its that time of year again: Memorial Day Weekend. The sun is shining, school is ending, and moods are lifting everywhere. What better way to kick off your summer than relaxing in the warmth, hanging out with friends and, of course, drinking by the pool.

But who wants to begin the summer with the same old boring drinks they’ve been drinking all year? It’s time to shake things up a bit, get a little festive. After all, we should be thankful we’re no longer stuck drinking in the cold confines of a house or dorm. ‘Tis the season to darty (read: day party)!

Luckily, we have just the drinks to get you started: Tito’s Vodka Cocktails. They’re the perfect mix of sun and alcohol, and isn’t that what vacation is all about? Even better, Tito himself came to our office and offered us a demo on how to make these drinks, and trust me — once you make them, you’ll have yet another reason to thank heaven it’s summertime.

“Trick or Treating” may be for little kids, but try to tell any college student that the holiday is reserved for elementary schoolers and they will eat you alive.

Halloween parties are freakin’ awesome. And it’s a known fact that us college kids will be running rampant all over the country come Halloween night. What other chance do we get to play beer pong as Kanye West and Taylor Swift (stopping the game mid-toss with a “Imma let you finish…” before snatching the pong ball from each other)?

But dressing up as a slutty ____ (insert anything here….no really, anything), isn’t the only way to celebrate.

If you’re going to throw a party or be a guest at one (and that covers pretty much everyone) why not go all out and make one of these awesome Halloween cocktails? We’re all suckers for themed parties, so why not do it up big? After we graduate, its not going to be acceptable anymore (not that that means we won’t still do it).

So ditch the wine coolers and the beer keg (mmm perhaps that can stay…) and get creative for the holiday. [Click on the images to get the ghoulishly tasty recipes!] Read More »

Who doesn’t love having a few shots of tequila? This writer doesn’t.  I can usually manage with the lime and salt included, but still; there are tons of things I’d rather experience than the burn of tequila as it runs down my throat followed immediately by my stomach trying to send it back.

BUT, it is National Tequila Day, so the Goose (or the cheap Burnetts vodka that I normally drink) is gonna have to wait until tomorrow night. I can’t let a momentous day like this pass me by without partaking in some “festivities.” And by festivities, I clearly mean a little one tequila, two tequila, three tequila…. well, you know the ending.

And I don’t even have to do it in shot form, because there are some mighty fine lookin’ tequila cocktails out there. These badboys give you all the tequila goodness without the pain/regurgitation.

I’ll drink (tequila) to that! Read More »
