Maybe I’m the only one still obsessed with Beyoncé’s album, Lemonade, but I doubt it. So I decided to make a quick mixed drink inspired by one of my favorite albums of the year.

EXPERIENCE: My spirit of choice had to be gin. Mango gin to be exact. You could obviously substitute this with whatever liquor you would like, but I just choose to stay away from stuff like vodka (I rather not end up on the floor of DP Dough’s bathroom again). I added two shots of gin plus about half a cup of pink lemonade. The two flavors were sweet, but a nice mixture. There was a bit of a kick with the mango.

ADVICE: My only advice to you is drink as much of alcohol and continue to listen to Lemonade. In all seriousness, though, I would pour the drink over a healthy helping of ice. A nice cold drink to get through the fire Beyoncé album is the only way to handle your weekend and to prepare for finals week.
