The Drink That Will...

Freshen Your Breath

Vodka and Cranberry This is not meant to replace your morning shot of Listerine, of course. But it is helpful to know which drinks make your breath more pleasing to the opposite sex when you’re at a cocktail party. In general: anything with citrus, gin, and/or vodka - for example, a Gimlet, a Gin and Tonic, a Gin Fizz - will keep your breath alive.

1 1/2 oz. vodka  Cranberry juice  Fill a collins glass two-thirds of the way with ice, pour in the vodka,  and then add the cranberry juice to fill. Stir briskly.

The Drink To Avoid In This Situation Beer. You should also avoid drinks containing milk, and anything as cloyingly sweet as your high school prom date.
