Party Drink Recipes
Throwing a party is a lot of fun, making snacks, a meal, picking a theme, and stocking the bar. For someone having their first party where more than beer and wine will be served it is helpful to know how to make crowd pleasing drink recipes that won’t have the host or hostess stuck at the bar
As the host or hostess of the party it is a good idea to make a picture of drinks ahead of time or a couple. This allows the host to have more time with his or her guests. It can be fun to match the drink recipe with the theme of the party.
Party Daiquiri
Daiquiris are very versatile and great for parties, most of these drink recipes can be made in a picture with lots of ice and guests can help themselves. This is especially nice because it gives the host or hostess of the party the opportunity to mingle with their guests.
A basic daiquiri recipe is to mix one cup of golden rum with three quarters of a cup lime juice, and about one third of a cup of sugar (more or less to taste) for every two guests. This drink recipe can be made in a picture and be poured into glasses with ice.
Party With Margaritas
Margaritas are another very versatile drink that can be made in many different flavors. Margaritas can be frozen or on the rocks; nearly any fruit pairs well with the tequila in the drink making the possibilities for creativity in the drink recipe nearly endless.
A basic margarita would contain about three cups of tequila, one and a half cups of triple sec, and three cups of lemon or lime juice; mix all ingredients well in a festive picture. This drink recipe will make about twenty drinks. The glasses should be rimmed with coarse salt or sugar and a wedge of lemon or lime to garnish.
Party Sangria
Sangria is a party favorite, the drink recipe is simple, and the drink itself is light and refreshing. There are many twists on this drink and finding one to suit a party’s theme is easy. Sangria is best served in a beautiful glass picture that will show off the beautiful fruits used to enhance its flavor.
The most basic sangria recipe will call for one bottle of red wine (sweet and fruity) or a bottle of something like a white zinfandel, mixed with the juice of two lemons and the juice of two limes, two to four tablespoons of sugar to taste, and about three cups of soda water. Mix all ingredients well with and garnish with lemon peel strips. Serve over ice.
