7 Drink Recipes to Make Vodka Suck Less

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UDelhi chapter.

It’s summer vacation and chances are that you are currently drowning in copious amounts of booze at your school reunions, summer dates, family get-togethers or just as a reason to escape your hectic life by getting high and enjoying life’s moments.

The universal truth is : Vodka is the king of all boozes.

However, most of us resort to the bottom-shelf vodka either because we’re broke (general scene with college students) or we’re tired and bored of the mainstream vodka shots (like me!).

Spoon UDelhi brings to you some easy ways to make your bitter vodka better:

1. Flaming Marshmallow Jelly Shot

Marshmallows? Jellies ? Vodka? Burning flames? Yes you read it right, all of them together in one go! Most of you must be wondering how someone can add such a major twist to those conventional flaming shots.

This flaming shot will fulfill all your foodie-like wishes as the jellies and the marshmallows add the much needed twist and sweetness to those burning bitter shots.

2. Citrus Desire

My friends and I were bored of having fruit juices all day long to beat the summer heat. Then one fine day, an idea popped up in our minds – making our vodka healthier by adding nutritious juices to it. So we got creative and turned out to be masters at bartending.

Trust me, all your alcoholic desires will find a solace with citrus desire.

3. Bloody Mary

In context with its name, this drink is bloody red hot with a tantalizing taste factor. This one is bang for the buck if you’ve got naughty plans for a date night.

With the tangy taste of tomato juice mixed in salt and pepper clubbed with vodka, bloody mary renders flavours to turn on anyone’s senses.

4. Long Island Iced Tea

Social Offline, Hauz Khas Village, is one of the most talked about places in Delhi today. It’s the place which has the maximum hype around it, the place that is famous for its rugged and raw look, and the place from where you get an awe-inspiring view of Hauz Khas lake as you enjoy your meal and drinks.

A huge thanks to Social Offline for serving us the best Long Island Iced Tea!

The name of the drink used to puzzle me, but then it was just recently that I discovered how its name speaks a lot about the rich history. This drink dates back to 1970’s, when Robert Butt claimed to have invented it as an entry in a contest to create a new mixed drink including Triple Sec, while he worked at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, NY.

5. Screaming Orgasm

The drink is as much aphrodisiac as its name.

For all the coffee lovers out there, this drink is a delight. With each sip, you can feel the strong flavours of coffee and Baileys Irish cream taking over your senses and driving you crazy.

6. Martini

Have you got plans of watching some romantic and wild movies? Well, then you can definitely resort to a glass of martini to enjoy your movie even more.

You end up with an elegant, clean and classy drink by just mixing just two main ingredients. So all the lazy bums who are not fond of cooking can resort to their share of martinis.

7. Sea Breeze

How about a sour punk-y vodka shot while you vacay soaking up the sun, surf and sand during summers along the sea side? The grapefruit juice adds the much needed punch to your vodka and boosts your stamina.
