Any student, staff or alumnus from the University of Florida will be familiar with the famous sports drink invented at the school and named after the football team’s mascot: the Gator. Make this to celebrate your college days (where you might have improvised a similar drink at the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”) — it’s surprisingly tasty and an orange-slice garnish tips it over the top.
