1.THE BEER BONG

A staple for every fraternity house, the beer bong is just a funnel with a tube to better facilitate your drinking. Because of the tube, the beer is forced down your throat by gravity, making it easier to chug. It is also up to the person pouring how much or how little you’re getting, so make sure you trust the person on the other end.

2. HIDDEN FLASKS

Perfect for drinking on the beach or at that family reunion you didn’t want to go to, there’s a type of flask for every occasion. There are flipflop flasks, hallowed out book flasks, tampon flasks and the good old fashioned ones you can put in your pocket. They make for less waste (just fill it from the bottle instead of using plastic cups) and a more discreet way to sip your drink uninterrupted.

3. SHOWER WINE HOLDER

We all know the story- you’re drinking a glass of wine and want to take a shower. So, you set your glass down on the side of the tub but it gets slick with water and spills all over the bathmat. Now you’re naked and cleaning up wine. Not relaxing. Thankfully now we have shower wine holders. They suction to your shower wall and hold most sizes of wine glasses. Put them up high for showers and down low for baths. Your drink stays where you put it and is easy-to-reach.

4. THE BEER HELMET

A true testament to the American spirit, beer helmets were created so you could drink two beers while watching sporting events, leaving your hands free for wings and chips. The helmet sits on your head, complete with a straw that moves the liquid straight to your mouth with ease. No more sauce prints on your beer bottles!

5. TWIST-OFF TOPS

This is one we sometimes take for granted. Back in the day, you needed a bottle opener for every beer you drank. Unless you were great at popping of bottle caps on your tooth or with a lighter, there was no getting around it. The twist-off cap was invented in the 1960s and changed the way we opened bottles forever. Budweiser even makes a screw-on cap that you can seal between sips to eliminate spillage and keep your beer fresh!

Aries people are natural-born leaders, fearless and energetic, they constantly have to keep themselves busy. Socially, they are engaging and have strong magnetism that keeps them the center of attention. Aries often take on more than they can handle, which is why they should try this drink to help them relax:

MANHATTAN
2 oz whiskey
1/2 oz vermouth
splash of bitters (if you like)
serve over ice with a maraschino cherry

TAURUS

Taureans are practical people who pride themselves on being reliable and down-to-earth. They work hard to earn the finer things in life and enjoy being secure in love and finance. Patient and humble, they often keep their problems to themselves until its gone too far- in which case they become the angry bull! This cocktail combines Taurus’s love for lavish things with their stable temperament:

BELLINI
2 oz peach puree
4 oz sparkling wine
garnish with a peach slice

GEMINI

People of The Twins sign are intelligent and witty but can also be emotionally unstable and quite sensitive. They always try to gather as much information as possible to come to the most accurate conclusion about any subject. Sometimes Geminis can have trouble communicating love to their partners- which is where this little truth serum cocktail comes in:

LA PALOMA
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz lime juice
pinch of salt
splash of grapefruit soda

CANCER

Cancers like to stay home- like a crab in its shell. They feel everything very deeply and can easily become upset if their world is not exactly the way they like. Cancers are super devoted to their families and loved ones but must watch their moodiness, as they cannot control everyone’s behavior. This cocktail makes for a good mood for all you grumpy Cancers:

HAPPY APPLE
1 oz vodka
2 oz sour apple liqueur
1 oz apple juice

LEO

Leos are the most creative and ambitious of the zodiac signs. They thrive to be the center of attention and often fall into the traps of social media- wanting to be the most attractive, most successful, most fun. Leos should try this cocktail to bring a little self-introspection into their lives and consider what’s really important:

THE THINKING CAP
2 oz bourbon
splash of rootbeer
splash of orange bitters
garnish with an orange peel

VIRGO

Virgos love to stay practical and rational, even when things are falling apart. They are delicate and warm on the inside, though they may seem cold to others because of their rational demeanor. This cocktail will help even the most conservative Virgo open up and show the emotions they have inside:

CHALINO
3 oz tequila blanco
1/2 tbsp. creme de cassis
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 tbsp. simple syrup

LIBRA

Libras are kind and warm with an innate ability to enjoy the little things. It is hard to rile up a Libra, as they are great at being diplomatic and hate conflict. They’d rather side with you and keep the piece than be right. To hone this peacekeeping skill, Libras should try this cocktail:

FRENCH CONNECTION
2 oz cognac
2 oz amaretto

SCORPIO

Scorpios are the volcanoes of the zodiac. While their personalities are huge and mostly wonderful, they can also be quite volatile and erupt at any moment over the smallest inconvenience. Scorpios are known for having keen intuition but can often veer towards jealousy if they’re not careful. To focus more on what they bring to the table, Scorpios can sip on this introspective cocktail:

JEAN HARLOW
2 oz light rum
2 oz sweet vermouth
garnish with a lemon peel

SAGITARIUS

Sagittarius people are restless and love to travel and explore. They are constantly searching for new experiences and dimensions of thought. This cocktail might help them be a little less self-critical and lean more into their curious tendencies:

YAKA HULA HICKEY DULA
1 1/2 oz dark rum
1 1/2 oz dry vermouth
1 1/2 oz pineapple juice

CAPRICORN

Capricorns love structure in their lives. They are natural goal setters who do well under pressure and love living their lives by specific guidelines. They often need to learn to let go a little and to realize that not everything is under their control- and that’s ok. Here’s a mixed drink for Capricorn people who want to get a little more accomplished today:

BLACK RUSSIAN
2 oz vodka
2 oz coffee liqueur
splash of cola
serve with a cherry

AQUARIUS

Aquarians have high expectations of people. They have strong, dominant personalities and constantly seek alone time while they sift through their own thoughts. They are the “forgive but not forget” sign and once you wrong an Aquarius, you’ll always have a bit of the cold shoulder from them. This cocktail is good to sip alone for Aquariuses trying to be a bit more tolerant:

WHITE WINE SPRITZER
3 oz chilled white wine
1 oz club soda
garnish with an orange peel

PISCES

Pisces people are gentle, nurturing and emotionally sensitive to the needs of others. They like to meander through life with a smile and try to avoid conflict if they can. Because of their “just keep swimming” mindset, they sometimes expect problems to work themselves out than actively try and solve them. This is a drink perfect for Pisces people trying to get their act together:

DARK AND STORMY
2 oz dark rum
1 oz tequila
splash of ginger beer
2 oz freshly brewed espresso

Step 1: Choose your flavors

Decide what kinds of flavors you want to achieve. Are you looking for something sweet or spicy? Some good options are: pear, vanilla, chili pepper, mango, lemon peel, green tea, strawberry, basil, grapefruit, or apple. Don’t be afraid to combine different flavors to make a truly unique vodka. Why not mix strawberry and vanilla for a strawberry shortcake vodka?

Step 2: Choose a Vodka

You don’t need a top shelf brand of vodka, but you don’t want the cheapest bottle either. You want something of solid quality (so the flavor isn’t distracting from your beautiful infusion) like an Absolut or Smirnoff.

Step 3: Prepare the Ingredients

Chop up your fruit, or gather your spices. If you are using fruit you will want about 15 oz of fruit (2 apples worth) for a bottle of vodka. Cut the fruit to increase the surface area touching the vodka.

Place the fruit in a container, mason jars work well.

Step 4: Add the Vodka

Pour your vodka over the fruit, and stir it so all the fruit comes in contact with the vodka.

Step 5: Wait

Leave the infusion somewhere safe and dark for a few days. Depending on the infusion and how strong you want it you can leave it for 2 days to a week. Keep an eye on it throughout the week, you can always taste it to see how the flavor is coming along.

Step 6: Strain the Fruit

Now that the vodka has the perfect flavor you are ready to strain it. Use a regular kitchen strainer for most fruits, or if you used fine herbs you can use a cheesecloth or even a coffee filter. Make sure you strain it so that you keep the desired flavor.

Step 7: Enjoy!

You are ready to make your own cocktails or sip your infused vodka on ice. Enjoy!

A pure drink straight out of the 20’s, the Moscow Mule is actually pretty simple to make. Of course everyone has their own customized recipes, however most seem to follow the same general standard of half a lime, 2 oz of  vodka and 6 oz of ginger beer (specifically requested brands such as Cock n’ Bull Ginger Beer are said to be the best choices).

So, for all of you who have never tried the classic Moscow Mule – no matter what time of the year, the drink is fairly famous, but with spring being here and summer coming up, now would be a great time to try!

Cheers!

I also noticed while I was there that the most popular way vodka was consumed was not so much by a mixed drink, but instead a straight shot of the alcohol – and many of them! I particularly remember one of my final days on the trip when I went to a family dinner with my hosts. A few people at the dinner party were celebrating an anniversary so naturally we had to toast them with a shot of vodka… and another… and another… adn atohner, z2nd ano5/zd… and you see the point.

So, coming back from Mother Russia, along with all the great memories I came back with a new acquired taste for vodka thanks to some friends in Moscow!

Cheers,
