Sometimes all it takes is a fun drink to get you in that summer state of mind. You may be wondering where you can find affordable, beachy drinks on a daily basis. I’ll admit, finding them might be a hard task, but making them is easier than you might think. Here are some easy DIY drinks that only cost a swipe at the dining hall.
Arnold Palmer
Fill your cup half with lemonade and half with sweetened iced tea to feel like you’re chilling on the patio after a round of golf.
Chocolate Milkshake
Two scoops of chocolate ice cream and some milk are all you need to give yourself a brain freeze and happy summer vibes.
Passion Guava Spritzer
Passion guava juice has recently hit the juice dispensers at Allison, and I could not be more excited. Fill your cup halfway with the juice and halfway with Sprite for a yummy (alcohol-free) spritzer. If pineapples happen to be available that day, try cutting some up and adding them to the drink for a classy feel.
Root Beer Float
Plop a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream into a glass filled with root beer. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making a Coke or Dr. Pepper float. Warning: these may leave you feeling nostalgic for your childhood.
Honey Lemon Iced Tea
Stir some honey into a glass of iced tea. No lemons in the dining hall? Try adding a touch of lemonade to the mix for extra sweetness.
Cranberry Spritzer
Enjoy this refreshing, alcohol-free beverage by mixing cranberry juice and sprite together. It’s that easy.
