happy weekend!

being in college, of course we want to drink makers mark, grey goose, even budlight rather than natty.  but sometimes we just can't afford it.  we've all heard of aristocrat- the rubbing alcohol vodka that you can get a handle for a whopping ten bucks.  but it's not fun drinking 'crat with crystal light every weekend.

here's a way to make cheap booze taste good:

cucumber infused vodka







 Just fill an empty jar (i used an old pickle jar) with cucumber and cheap vodka (really good with gin, too).  Adding sugar can help to process, but I think it works perfectly well with just the two ingredients
it's better to slice them thin.

let the jar sit in the fridge at least overnight.  really good over ice with tonic, soda water, sprite, or even just water.  awesome with a lime wedge. 


a fifth of pearl for $16, or a whole handle for what, like 12 bucks?!?

  1. This is such a good idea! I totally want to try it. This is a great way to get a lot of good tasting alcohol for not a lot of money. It would last me a long time, AND make me feel fancy while I'm drinking it :)
