For some, social distancing means staying home alone. For others, it means having a quarantine party with friends and family. Regardless of your plans, you can stock up on alcohol (and toilet paper) and sip on these quarantine-inspired beverages:

THE QUARANTINI

A new spin on a yellow fever, the quarantini is a combination of sweet and sour- kind of like life when you’re stuck at home.

1 1/2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce Galliano
1/2 ounce lime juice
1 ounce pineapple juice
garnish with toilet paper to show how rich you are

THE VODKA-C 

Put a little vitamin C into your life with this spritzer. Orange juice and any immune boosting powder added to vodka creates a funny little ode to our immune systems and a delicious, hilarious party drink.

THE BOREDOM BOWL

This is for the third week of quarantine, when you’ve organized your entire closet, deleted all 700 of your spam e-mails and watched everything on Netflix. It’s boring, but delicious.
