Cocktail recipes for a big group?!
Bottled Cocktails can be made a few days before the gathering and stored without refrigeration, granted you don't add the water until a few hours before the party when you will chill them.
Answers: You can still make some delicious classic cocktails like the Cosmopolitan, Margarita or Manhattan in bulk...make what some refer to as "Bottled Cocktails". Simply mix the desired cocktail with proportions to fill a large decanter or, even better, an empty bottle fitted with a pourer. A little water will need to be added to make up for ice that would normally be melted when the cocktail is mixed in a shaker or mixing glass. You can make several Bottled Cocktails in bottles fitted with pourers which allows your guests to easily access different drinks while you don't worry about a big mess!

make jungle juice
Get a big jug, like you see at construction sites. Buy frozen mixed fruit, (a lot of it) keep it frozen until the morning of the party. That morning put all of the fruit into the jug first, while it is still frozen. Then add a few 2 liter bottles of Hawiian punch and 1 bottle of 7-up. Buy the med sized bottles of all your favorite liquors (clear ones and maybe 1 cognac are best. Then add 1 bottle each of whatever cheap mixers you can find (such as grenadine, daquiri, sweet and sour mix) let it all sit there all day, the fruit will keep it cool, and also the fruity taste will seep into the drink. IT is kinda expensive so ask your friends to chip in a few bucks like you would for a keg. It is wonderful and potent. Be careful, it will knock you for a loop :)
Sangria is the way to go, pleases all tastes.
