Tips for Making Fuss Free Cocktails
There’s nothing better than a refreshing cocktail when the sun is out but if you’re a regular host then you’ll know how messy making cocktails can be.
All the different alcohols and liqueurs, the different juices, the multiple glasses and shakers, and the cleaning up afterwards!
We’ve got some simple solutions for making fuss free cocktails that will keep your hands free and your kitchen clean and tidy, all whilst satisfying your guests.
Pre-mixed Cocktails
These are a massive time saver and are great to have on hand for those rare sunny days that we get! MyCocktail provide pouches of some of the best pre-mixed cocktails on the market, including your favourites such as Cosmos and Mojitos.
Funkin have also just released their Brazilian cocktail blend that includes plenty of exotic fruits such as Guarana, simply add vodka to the mix to get the party started!
Set a Theme
Have a select few cocktails on offer at your party, and try and get them to include similar ingredients so that you’re not having to have multiple shakers and glasses on the go all night.
Sex on the Beach and Cosmopolitans both use cranberry juice but taste completely different so you get variety but save yourself some work!
Don’t Buy Too Much
Don’t overdo it on the alcohol front, buy what you need and no more, that way you’re not going to constantly be mixing cocktails up all night.
Plus, you’ll save yourself a major headache in the morning!
Paper/Plastic Cups
It may seem slightly un-classy but having paper cups will save you so much time later on.
One of the worst things about having a cocktail party is the amount of glasses you’ll have to wash up later. Think ahead and buy paper or plastic ones.
