While deep down we all knew that the lockdown would be extended, most of us were hoping and praying that it wouldn't be. However, safety always comes first and so the lockdown has been extended for yet another two weeks. But if you feel like you might lose your mind because of being cooped up for so long, there are a few cocktails (since you can buy liquor now) you can enjoy to help keep your sanity during the lockdown. Take a look at them.

Spiced iced tea: You'll need 1.5 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire, 1.5 oz Apple Juice, 1.5 oz Cranberry Juice and 1.5 oz Unsweetened Tea. Mix all these ingredients in a glass and serve it cold. Do remember to garnish with some lemon.

Classic mojito: You'll need 50ml White Rum, 1 good splash of Soda Water, 2tsp Caster Sugar, 1 Mint Sprig, 2 wedges of lime and some Crushed Ice. Start by crushing the lime and sugar together and put it in a tall glass. Then add about 10-12 mint leaves and top with some crushed ice (should fill glass 3/4). Pour the rum and soda into the glass and stir well using a spoon or stirrer. Garnish with mint and ice and enjoy your drink!

Blue lagoon: You'll need 50ml Vodka, 25ml Blue Curaçao Liqueur, 150ml Lemonade, 1 Lemon Slice and Ice Cubes. Fill your glass with ice cubes but leave some room to stir. Add the vodka and lemonade to your glass and stir well. Garnish the drink with lemon and enjoy.
