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.

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

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.
