A Budding Mixologist's Guide to a Paws & Go Pregame
Craving a cocktail, but don't want to pay eight dollars at Mission or five dollars at Mi Ranch? Too extra to just pour vodka and gatorade in a plastic water bottle like everyone else? Don't have a blender, shaker or any form of bartending skills?
Not to worry. I've created a few easy and quick drink recipes that will get the party started, no experience or equipment required. The best part is that every ingredient for each drink (except for the alcohol, of course) can be found at Wash U's loyal, chaser-supplying friend, Paws & Go. So you can be drunk, cheap and lazy, while still keeping it classy AF.
