The hardest part of playing host is making sure everyone has a drink in their hand while still enjoying the party yourself. Don’t worry about making everyone individual cocktails, the key to making sure everyone is happy is by mixing up cocktails in large batches and keeping them around the party so people can get refills for themselves. Deciding on a few drinks will give you peace of mind and only require a few ingredients so everyone is guaranteed to find something they love.

Mint Julep

This famous drink had at the Kentucky Derby is one of the most well known American creations. But there’s no rule that says you can only enjoy this drink at the races! Muddle mint leaves with sugar and water, then add ice and bourbon, and top with more water or sparkling water and you’re ready to enjoy!

Daiquiri

This is actually an incredibly simple drink with only three ingredients. Combine lime juice with white rum and a simple syrup, pour into a pitcher with tons of ice in it and it’s ready to serve!

Lemonade and Vodka

For this drink, just add vodka to either homemade or storebought lemonade. Jazz it up with some mint leaves or strawberries and it’s done!
