On a budget? Bored of bar hopping? Want to flaunt your DIY skills? Whatever may be the reason, you’re throwing a house party this weekend and it has got to be nothing short of fantabulous! The playlist’s taken care of, the texts have been sent out, the lights are now dim—it’s time to zig-a-zig-ah! (too much of Spice Girls on our mind)!
But even though your friends got the memo on a BYOB party, you’d be one helluva boring host if you didn’t put some of your bartending skills on display. Sounds too last minute? It really isn’t. All you need is 3 minutes to make these delish cocktails …
Ain’t nothing better than a chilled cherry mojito to come home to. Make it count!
Ingredients:
90 ml club soda 60 ml white rum Black cherries Fresh mint Fresh lime juice Ice cubes
Preparation:
Squeeze half a lime into a glass and mix the juice with mint and black cherries. Top the mixture with club soda, white rum and a few ice cubes. Throw on a few cherries and mint leaves for garnish.
Lemon Drop
Probably the first cocktail (one of) you ever ordered at a bar. Time to personalize it!
Ingredients:
60 ml vodka 15 ml triple sec 30 ml simple syrup 30 ml lemon juice Ice cubes
Preparation:
Coat the glass rim with sugar and set it aside. Add all the ingredients and ice cubes into a shaker and shake well. Strain into the sugarcoated glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
Raspberry Peach Sangria
For a large crowd that agrees on one thing—wine, is the answer.
Ingredients:
1 bottle of red wine 1/3 cup brandy 1 cup frozen raspberries 1 cup frozen peaches 1 peeled orange 3 tbsp lime juice 2 tbsp agave nectar Ice cubes
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add some raspberries and a slice of lime for garnish.
