This week, Arizona State University announced its freshman class broke its enrollment record — yes, again. Doesn’t it just make you want to put out a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils?
For this week’s Thirsty Thursday, we’re toasting all the smarty-pants heading off to college for the first time. So, parents, stop obsessively refreshing your kids’ Facebook and Instagram feeds and mix up one of these scrumptious back-to-school cocktails instead!
The Pencil Eraser by Eventup is a sweet, eraser-pink mix of lemon, strawberries, cranberry juice and vodka.
Apples for teachers are no more part of your reality! Instead, put them to use in this cocktail found by one of our favorite booze hounds — Zane Lamprey, over at Drinking Made Easy. The Apple Spiced Cocktail from American Craft Kitchen & Bar in Chicago that we think is a delicious way to put the summer blues behind you. It’s a mix of moonshine, apple spice ginger liqueur, apple and lime juices and agave nectar. Yeah — bottoms up!
Lastly, there’s nothing wrong with some school pride! Here’s a Sun Devil Gold Daze cocktail that’s a sweet and tart mix of gin, peach brandy and orange juice. Make any spirit maroon by adding a good splash of cranberry juice!
