So, let's dive into three concoctions that are guaranteed to make your party unforgettable!
The "Fizzy Uni Nights"
Remember that time we all crammed for exams and thought our heads would explode? Well, this cocktail is a tribute to those long nights, but way more fun and definitely more delicious! The Fizzy Uni Nights is a sparkling, vibrant drink that’ll keep the party buzzing.

Instructions:
1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
2. Pour in the vodka, peach schnapps, and blue curaçao.
3. Top it off with lemonade.
4. Give it a gentle stir and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Funny Anecdote:
The first time I made this drink, I thought blue curaçao was some fancy British juice (I was very wrong!). Imagine my surprise when my drink turned neon blue. Let's just say my flatmates were impressed by my accidental mixology skills!
The "Flatmate Fiesta"
Ah, the Flatmate Fiesta! This cocktail is perfect for those nights when everyone in your flat is finally free and ready to celebrate surviving another week of classes. It's fruity, punchy, and just a bit mischievous—just like our Friday nights!
