Make yourself a “quarantini” to wash down the memories of the year.

You can’t go on a wild spring break trip this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t drink like you are.

Here are some cocktails that will help you and your roommates forget that you haven’t been to a party in a year.

Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a martini glass, pour the vitamin C powder on a plate and dip the rim of the glass to coat. Warm water and honey in the microwave until you have created a honey syrup. Add the syrup, lemon juice and vodka to a cocktail shaker optionally with ice. Pour into vitamin C rimmed glass and enjoy. Chase with Vitamin C powder if you’re feeling it.
