Festive Cocktails for Company
Making that first round of cocktails for a crowd of dinner guests can be a handful. Everyone (at least the polite ones) arrives at pretty much the same time and descends on the bar like a swarm of thirsty mosquitos. Having a batch of interesting, refreshing and, most importantly, made- ahead cocktails on hand can make this crush much more manageable and even more fun for the guests.
Dark and Stormy
This is one of my favorite island drinks. Dark Bermudan rum mixed with fresh ginger beer.
Moscow Mule
This is one of my favorite summertime coolers. A true classic (it seems to have appeared around World War II), it almost single-handedly introduced Americans to vodka.
Michelada: the Mexican Bloody Mary
I first discovered this refreshing drink in San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. Since it is made with beer, it makes for a lighter alternative to a midday cocktail.
Cool Summer Gin
This is a classic cool summer drink that refreshes and enhances your mood at the same time! Perfect for a hot summer day!
Guadalajara Sour
This is a variation of a cocktail that was recommended recently in the New York Times. It is a fresh summer cooler that is sure to please. Pour ‘em good and strong!
Key West Color Change Cocktail
About ten miles offshore of Key West, just past the reef, the water dramatically changes color from a greenish blue to a deep, deep blue.
Key West Mango Margaritas
Makes about six delicious drinks
Harbour Island Rum Punch
We love Harbour Island, a charming little island accessible only by boat off the coast of North Eleuthra in the Bahamas.
