March Madness began last week.  For those of you who don’t know, it is the huge NCAA college basketball tournament. I happened to be in Las Vegas when it began, and let me tell you, those people were definitely on something. Was it crack, or just a shit ton of alcohol, we will never know. What I do know is that it was crazy. Now, I am not a big basketball fan, but this year Houston is the lucky host of the Final Four so I thought I should celebrate that with a cocktail (even though my team lost in the first round…).

1 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Triple Sec
1 1/2 oz Vodka
4 oz  Monster Energy Drink
3 oz Orange Gatorade

Mix it all together and serve in a highball glass.

* The recipe actually calls for Amp energy drink but I personally think it is disgusting so I changed it to Monster. If you are anti-energy drink, I imagine this drink would taste good without that ingredient, although you may want to add some soda so its not too strong…

Ok, let’s say you had one too many cocktails at Hump Day Happy Hour and you need a remedy STAT.  I have found a simple concoction that will take the edge off of that hangover.

Mix halfsies Gatorade and 7UP.

The Gatorade will recharge you and the bubbles will help the tum tum.
