A freshman succumbs to The All Nighter

Every week your friends at the Columbia Bartending Association outfit you with a topical, alcoholic accouterment. Wrestling with Rousseau this weekend on that CC paper? Wrestle drunk!

It’s my favorite time of year again. I wish I was basking in the Christmas and New Year’s spirit already, but one last battle remains before the holidays: finals. Can’t say I’m too excited about the next few weeks (or about the paper due tomorrow that I’ve yet to start). Here’s a drink in honor of the campus-wide suffering soon to occur:

The All-Nighter

1.5 oz Rum
1.5 oz Red Bull (or your favorite highly caffeinated alternative)
.75 oz Pomegranate Juice
.75 oz of your favorite fruit juice (apple is a safe bet)

Shake the ingredients with ice and pour into a glass (or inject directly into bloodstream via IV). Alternatives include substituting vodka for rum or eliminating the extra fruit juice in favor of more pomegranate.

Good luck with finals, kids.
