Poisons: Cheap drinks

Cherry slushy at Ale Mary's

Ingredients: Cherry vodka, Sprite and cranberry juice with a secret twist

Damage: $5

Skinny: If SweeTarts could be served on the rocks, this is what they would taste like. Gushing with fruity tartness, this drink doesn't share the sourness of those candies. A cherry-topped straw is also a nice addition to this Ale Mary's specialty. But don't let the name deceive you, this ale house has a knack for cocktails. (You might want to keep an eye out for Jesus and Mary, though, as they peek around various corners to keep tabs on patrons.) For even more savings, drinks are $1-off during happy hour, which runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m.
