Smoothie

Just prepare your smoothie as your normally would, but add a little liquor to the mix. The consistency is different from your typical daiquiri and margarita, and the taste is wonderful with the right proportions of everything. My personal favorite: bananas, strawberries, yogurt, a splash of almond milk, ice and white rum or silver tequila.

Popsicles

You can use your imagination (and probably Google) to implement this idea, but one recipe I’d like to try for sure is freezing Lime-A-Ritas. As far as I can tell, you fill some plastic cups with the margarita-ish drink, freeze for about two hours, add a stick in the center, followed by a lime slice (skewered by the stick so it sits between your fingers and the margarita pop) and then freeze until fully solid. Some recipes say to roll them in salt after they’re finished to make it that much more margarita-y, but that’s up to you.

Punch

Kind of like the notorious Jungle Juice, kind of not. “Adult punch” is great to serve at parties and/or family get-togethers because it’s a convenient option to making drinks individually. Just do the obvious: add large amounts of alcohol to large amounts of juice and some fruit, if you’re into that. Enjoy.

Candy

The same concept goes with yummy candy. Just submerge your candy of choice in your alcohol of choice for a chosen amount of time. Be sure to avoid over-soaking the treats because they might get all mooshy.
