10 Fun Cocktails For Your Next House Party

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a good cocktail recipe for a house party. It makes me feel like I’ve got the best of both worlds – the comfort of being inside, with my friends, as well the fancy feeling of being catered to at a high-end bar.

So without further ado, here are my favourite recipes for party cocktails!

1. Strawberry Pisco Punch

Here’s what you need1 bottle pisco (750 ml bottle), 1 cup St. Germain elderflower liqueur, 1 1/2 cups strawberry syrup, 1 1/2 cups lime juice, 2 bottles sparkling apple cider (750 ml bottle), 2 limes (for garnish), ice block (large), 3/4 cup water, 1 1/2 cups strawberries (halved)

Got it? Then check the cocktail recipe at Honestly Yum! It serves one punch bowl.

2. The Original Bloody Mary

Here’s what you need: 1 46-ounces container tomato juice (about 6 cups), 6 ounces vodka, 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons), 6 lemon wedges for garnishing, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, 5 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco, and ice.

3. Watermelon & Mint Cooler

Here’s what you need: 12 cups seedless watermelon cubes, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, 2/3 cup cachaca, rum or vodka (optional), and ice.

4. Pineapple Rose Sangria

5. Cosmopolitan Slushy
