If you were coming to my house on Friday night, what cocktail would you like?

I’m thinking of making 4 in large quantities - 2 alcoholic and 2 non alcoholic.

Which would you like and how do I make it?!

Negroni for me please 😋

CapitanSandy · 20/01/2022 09:17

Strawberry daiquiri please

MsSquiz · 20/01/2022 09:18

Mojitos are easy to make in large quantities and the non alcoholic version is easy enough too.

Mojito
White rum
Mint leaves
Sugar syrup or sugar
Soda water
Lime juice

My non alcoholic version replaces the rum with sprite and apple juice

I also go for an old classic sex on the beach as a fruity option

Peach schnapps
Vodka
Cranberry juice
Orange juice

Subbaxeo · 20/01/2022 09:20

Negroni for me too. Perfect mix of sweet and bitter. Equal parts of gin/Campari/red vermouth with orange twist.

Time40 · 20/01/2022 09:21

Espresso Martini please.

maximist · 20/01/2022 09:23

I'd just beg you for a gin and tonic, cocktails are too sweet and/or too strong for me.

Grapesoda7 · 20/01/2022 09:23

A white russion, (vodka, khallua and milk) or sex on the beach please.

Trisolaris · 20/01/2022 09:26

My favourite is an elderflower cocktail:

It’s very simple - Prosecco, St Germain, Ice and a couple Strawberries - delicious and refreshing!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 20/01/2022 09:27

Do you know your guests tastes? I like sweet or cream based cocktails personally and hate most of the ones suggested here!

boobot1 · 20/01/2022 09:28

@Bouledeneige

Porn star martini
Yes this
AiryFairy1 · 20/01/2022 09:30

Mojito or margarita for party fun. Or a champagne cocktail. Or if you want a very messy night try a combo of champagne, vodka and red bull 😈

For non-alcoholic, maybe a Virgin mojito but nothing with grenadine please 🤢

TyrannosaurusRights · 20/01/2022 09:36

A good spicy Virgin Mary

Classic martinis.

Agree with all of this. I've also made a non alcoholic one just leaving out the rum and not adding anything else. It's beautifully refreshing. But poss not really a mocktail!

AlwaysLatte · 20/01/2022 09:44

Vodka martini with olives

foreverandalways · 20/01/2022 09:45

Amaretto sour with sugar rimmed cold glass

GeorgieFlame · 20/01/2022 09:48

Mojito,
Espresso Martini
Strawberry Daiquiri

Thankyou Grin

Skinnytailedsquirrel · 20/01/2022 09:49

After watching The Tourist, I'd like a Dirty Martini.

Freshprincess · 20/01/2022 09:54

I’m not that fussy tbh, my Go to is a Porn star martini

No alcoholic pina colada even though it’s basically just pineapple juice.

Toddlerteaplease · 20/01/2022 09:57

Pornstar martini or a cup of tea will do nicely! Grin

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 20/01/2022 09:58

I like good solid hard liquor types of cocktails...cannot be doing with the fruity juicy wishy washys!

So for me a Martini, or Dirty Martini. A White Lady, or Sidecar. A Negroni. Or Espresso Martini.

If you like amaretto then a Godmother or Godfather is also grand.

Wendyer · 20/01/2022 10:00

Well I'd kind of decided on Pina Colada and Cosmopolitan until the curveball that is Negroni got thrown in! So much choice!

Thank you for ideas, happy to keep on hearing more!

Asa guest,I'd be grateful for anything that doesn't have gin in it 🤢

First choice would be a good Bloody Mary or screaming orgasm

Subbaxeo · 20/01/2022 10:19

For no alc cocktail, try seedlip, or other fake gin- citrus, sugar syrup with cinnamon sugar around the rim. I add orange bitters too but that would put teeny bit of alcohol in!

TragoCardboardCopper · 20/01/2022 10:21

Singapore Sling.

The best cocktails are the old ones, in my experience!
