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.

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.
