Hey Colgate! Welcome to the second and final edition of Drinkin’ with Tom! That’s right, no food in this article, just a bunch of great drink recipes for Spring Party Weekend 2005! I hope you all enjoy these fun drinks I found, but, of course, enjoy them in moderation (please read with heavy sarcasm). I hope to see you all out and about this weekend enjoying the festivities!

Hand Grenade 1 fresh pineapple liter of Vodka liter of lemon-lime sodaCut the pineapple into thin three-inch long slices. Put into a large bowl and cover with the vodka and lemon-lime soda. Let the pineapple slices marinate over night. When you are ready to party, take the mixture out and put the slices of pineapple into a shot glass. Fill the shot glass with the liquid left in the bowl. When you are taking the shot, first bite down and chew on the pineapple slice; then take the shot while the pineapple is still in your mouth. Swallow all at once for a “blast” of great flavor.
