Sunday PunchWhether the Hawkeyes win or lose on Saturday, there is probably a chance you will be recovering from the night before (I know I will). This drink is sweet enough and packed with fruit flavor to exchange for your Bloody Mary the morning after a fun night.

EXPERIENCE: One ounce of grapefruit vodka is mixed with cranberry juice and poured over ice. The drink is sweet but isn’t overwhelming. The grapefruit is prominent enough and has a bit of a kick. That kick reminds you that even if the cranberry juice is sweet, you know you are still drinking an alcoholic drink.

ADVICE: Personally, my favorite drink the next day following a fun night is a Bloody Maria (tequila rather than vodka). But this drink is coming up as a close second. The best part, is you don’t have to even hit a bar to get this drink. It’s simple enough to make at home.
