Make Your Own State College Bar Drinks
As federal guidance and statewide mitigation plans in response to the coronavirus pandemic send people indoors, many Penn State students missing school will find themselves with more time than they know what to do with.
Earlier this week, Governor Tom Wolf announced an extension of Pennsylvania’s shutdown measures to include nonessential businesses and other activities throughout the entire state. As a result, State College bars have closed their doors to patrons until at least March 31.
In case social distancing has made you reminiscent of better days when you could walk into a bar and grab a Dirty Sprite, we have some good news for you. We’ve taken a stab at recreating some of State College’s most iconic drinks.
If you’re going to be stuck inside, you might as well have a little fun while you’re at it (*wink, wink*). Here are some DIY versions of favorites that you can recreate at home — assuming you already have the ingredients now that the liquor stores are closed.
