Already tired of social distancing? If you’re not sick, try one of these easy recipes to help heighten the excitement of your tenth night in a row eating on your couch. Pair with your choice of reality TV show and face mask. It’s a good combo, trust me! Plus, you can add this to the list of #adulting skills you learned while in quarantine.
Watermelon Margarita
For the escapists looking to feel like they’re on a beach, if only for a moment. You’ll need:
- tequila
- lime juice
- Blended watermelon (or just watermelon juice – you do you girl)
Combine one or two shots of tequila with your preferred amount of watermelon juice, add a squeeze of lime, and shake what yo’ mamma gave ya! Drink up. Add lime and salt to the rim if you’re going all the way with it.
Martini
This is for you if you’re feeling like a woman of mystery… You’ll need:
- 2 oz gin (or vodka, depending on your tastes)
- 1 oz dry vermouth
Add liquid to ice filled glass or metal shaker. Stir, don’t shake, for ten seconds. Pour into a fancy glass and sip!
Negroni
If you want a strong taste with a strong punch, this one’s for you! You’ll need:
- 1 oz London dry gin
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 1 oz Campari
All you need to do is combine, stir with ice, and drink!
Dark n’ Stormy
Why not drink a cocktail that matches your mood? For this you’ll need:
- 1 part dark rum
- 2 parts ginger beer
- lime
Fill your glass with ice, add the rum, then top with ginger beer. Squeeze the lime juice in and drink.
Gin & Tonic
Because sometimes you just need something easy. You’ll need:
- London dry gin
- tonic water
- lime wedge
Pour a liberal amount of gin, add some tonic water (amount depending on how much you’re trying to party), and pour over ice! Garnish with lime wedge to feel like you’re in a boujie bar.
