Holiday treat

By Hilary Strickland

On-Line Forty-Niner

Very soon finals will be a distant memory, friends will be clamoring for attention and drinks will be had.

The "Big Apple" is a holiday beverage I concocted with a little help from my friends.

Ingredients:

1 bottle of vodka any kind, any size

1 box of hot apple cider mix. (It comes in a box and they are packaged in envelopes.)

1 container of cinnamon

Instructions: This is the easiest drink to make even if you have already had a few.

Step 1: Empty one envelope of cider mix into a mug and mix with hot water.

Step 2: Pour in one, one-ounce shot of vodka, add more depending on the level of alcoholism you have reached.

Step 3: Sprinkle cinnamon on top as much or as little as you like.

Step 4: Enjoy winter break.
