Everyone has a go-to drink, mine's a rum and coke. But the bars of Athens, Ohio are teeming with unique, alternative specialty drinks that are hard to resist. Here is what your specialty drink order says about you and your drinking habits.
Red Death- You'll be ordering this sweet drink from Pigskin if you're already drunk and need to take it a step further. Also, you likely can’t handle their Black Widow.
Yardsticks- If you order a Yardstick form The Crystal, your goal is to look cool, but in reality everyone can tell you’re a freshman.
Mega Mug or Aquarium- If you’re ordering a Mega Mug from Redbrick or an Aquarium from The Pub, you’re a fan of the tried and true American Classic, beer. These drinks are the perfect solution for us common, college folk to be able to drink a lot of beer on a budget.
Rainbow Shots- When you get an round of Rainbow Shots from The Pub, you’re either on a shuffle with a lot of friends, or you’re doing it for the gram #rainbowshots #sorrynotsorry.
Champagne Slushie- If you’re ordering this delicacy from Broney’s, it’s likely the first drink you’ve been waiting to try on you’re 21st birthday, or you’re willing to risk the brain freeze on a hot summers day.
Liquor Pitchers- If you’re partaking in this Wednesday night tradition at Lucky’s, in which you can get any Liquor Pitcher for $5, you’re likely rowdy and carefree. Screw that Thursday test.
Destroyer- If you’re drinking a Destroyer from Stephen’s, you’ll probably end your evening crying about nothing of importance.
Hot Nut- A Hot Nut from Tony’s Tavern is the perfect pick-me-up to help you stay out longer. If it’s your third consecutive night out on Court Street and you don’t know if you can continue, one of these caffeinated shots will help you keep going.
Microbrews- If you’re drinking one of the many Microbrews Jackie O’s has to offer, you're trying to be a classy grown-up. You care less about drinking to get drunk and more about enjoying the taste.
Bermuda Triangle- The Bermuda Triangle is when you have a Black Widow from Pigskin, a Blackout from Pawpurrs, and a Crystal Ball from The Crystal, all in a one hour period. Whether you complete the triangle or continuously sip on your favorite drink of the trio, your main goal is to get wasted, and you will succeed.
