This titillatingly-named tipple is bog standard party fare at universities around the world. However, for those who like a sweet finish or … erm … happy ending, the combination of peach schnapps, cranberry and orange juice does the trick.

Ingredients:
1.5 oz vodka
0.5 oz peach schnapps
2 oz cranberry juice
2 oz orange juice

Method:
Pour the vodka and schnapps over ice in a chilled highball glass. Fill with equal measures of cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir.


Salty Dog

The old Salty Dog. It’s apparently changed its makeup over the course of years, and now bears striking resemblance to a Greyhound, but the simplicity (two ingredients) and salted rim makes it a sure bet no matter what the occasion.
Ingredients:
Kosher salt
2 oz vodka OR gin
4 oz grapefruit juice
(Dash of simple syrup — made up of two parts sugar and one part water — if desired.)

Method:
Pour kosher salt onto a small plate and moisten the rims of two chilled highball glasses. Dip the rims into the coarse salt to coat lightly. Fill the glasses with ice cubes and pour the vodka or gin over the ice followed by the grapefruit juice. Stir and garnish with lime.


Squid Bite

Not to be confused with the Snakebite, a drink that mixes alcoholic cider and lager, the Squid Bite is a winter warmer that was invented by the makers of The Kraken Black Spiced Rum in Trinidad and Tobago. The Kraken is a mythical sea monster that has been often depicted to resemble a giant squid, so get wrapped up and enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 oz Kraken rum
15 oz hot mulled cider
Cinnamon stick and apple slices

Method:
Pour the rum into a large glass, add the cider and stir. Garnish with cinnamon stick and apples.

As Patti Page sang in the 1950s, you’re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod, and by extension of course, its namesake cocktail the Cape Codder. A simple vodka and cranberry with fresh lime juice, the drink is as easy to make as it is refreshing.

Ingredients:
2 oz vodka
4 oz cranberry juice
Juice from half a lime.

Method:
Fill a chilled highball glass with ice. Pour the vodka and then cranberry juice over the ice. Squeeze the juice from the lime half into the drink. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
