If there is one drink that is synonymous with the University to students and alumni alike, it’s the KAMS Blue Guy. It’s fun, it’s blue and it’s a classic Illini drink.
If you ask your alumni parents or friends, they’ll regale you with tales of these blue drinks that they automatically associate with the best and worst nights at KAMS, its bar of origin.
The drink is one part vodka and one part Bam! energy drink combined to make any night at KAMS an enjoyable one. It boasts a unique and sweet taste of blue raspberry that might be a little too easy to go down.
Its price point helps with its timeless popularity. Blue Guys rarely go above $2-3 for KAMS patrons during weekly deals at the bar’s “time warp” Tuesday and 1-2-3 Monday events.
So, if you want to indulge in some classic Champaign-Urbana culture, grab a Blue Guy this Moms Weekend. Just don’t give too many to your mom — it might make a memorable night forgettable.
