In college, there are certain things you must do.
Namely, hide your alcohol in the ceiling tiles so that you don't get busted by the RAs. I mean... I was totally 21, okay? Maybe? Shh, don't tell on me! Anyway.
I was known on my floor as a bartender of sorts--I could whip up a fruity and deadly concoction that not only tasted like candy, but would produce a heavy buzz before a night out on the town to over-priced city bars. I used my limited arsenal of whatever half-or-quarter-filled bottles that my friends snuck over plus whatever juice we could sneak out of the dining hall. Usually this all came out quite fruity and tropical tasting, very good.
^Pre-bar-buzz is necessary on a college student budget. Candy taste is equally necessary if you're a female and not quite used to alcohol yet.
These days, though a buzz while out with friends is much appreciated after a full week of work, I no longer have to rummage together an alcoholic beverage from what I have stashed in my ceiling tiles. I care more about flavor than punches packed--but I can still whip up something pretty tasty.
I picture sipping this on a sunny porch in the impending nice weather. Mmm...

Makes 1 cocktail
- 1.5 shots coconut rum of choice (I used Bacardi Rock Coconut)
- .5 shot 99 bananas
- 1 tiny can of pineapple juice (~1 cup)
- 1 tbs lime juice
- splash of cranberry juice
- ice for shaking
Combine all ingredients except cranberry in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake, then pour into your favorite glass that may or may not have been swiped from a beachside bar by your drunken friend last summer. Splash the splash of cranberry on top. Garnish with pineapple slice and serve!
