borgs

Gallon jug cocktails

Borgs are homemade mixed drinks, typically made in large plastic jugs, combining vodka or other liquor with water, electrolytes, and flavor packets.

Popular at tailgates and college parties, the name playfully references Star Trek's cybernetic collective—the drink "assimilates" its ingredients.

Each borg often gets a punning name: Borgan Donor, Leonardo DiCapriborg.

The format promises easier pacing and hydration than straight shots, though the logic is dubious.
