Because its NEW YEARS EVE tonight- lets learn to make some crazy inexpensive drinks that look like you have your own personal bartender. Lets make people believe it!
1. Cape Codder- This drink is crazy simple. It asks for cranberry juice and Vodka. Three ounce cranberry juice and three ounce vodka. Add a lime on the rim. I know, I know, Vodka can be expensive. But, I did my research! http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodkareviews/tp/best_cheap_vodka.htm
2. Black Russian- It is a coffee and liquor drink. 1 3/4 ounce vodka and 3/4 coffee liquor. Personally, I really like this drink! Just put it over ice.
3. White Russian- Close to the black russian but it calls for cream. 1 1/2 ounce vodka, 3/4/ ounce Kahlua coffee liquor, and 3/4 ounce cream.
4. Gin and Tonic. You can find Gin for around $10. Two ounces Gin, Tonic water, and a lime wedge on the rim. http://cocktails.about.com/od/spiritreviews/tp/best_cheap_gin.htm
5. Champagne Punch- This is very good! It calls for Champagne and IZZY (melon soda). Half and Half. You can add some fruit in the bottom of the cup. Blackberries, pieces of melon, or strawberries.
