Drinks memorial day?!
Drinks memorial day?
im having friends/family over. want good ideas for some alcoholic drinks to be made in a picture. any suggestions. something fruity..recipe's would be nice.
Answers:
Blue Hawaii (goes with the whole red,white and blue theme)
1 ounce Dekuyper Blue Coracao
1 ounce Vodka
1 ounce Sweet & Sour Mix
2 ounce Pineapple Juice
Mix together and serve on the rocks.
Of course you would have to change the ounces to meet your needs.Hope you have fun!
I think you mean in a pitcher.
Anyway, my favorite drink is Mexican sangria. It's delicious and refreshing. It can't all be in the same pitcher but it's very easy nonetheless.
Mix limeade and vodka over ice, taking up 2/3 of the glass, then slowly pour red wine to make the top 1/3 layer. Pour it slowly over a spoon near the edge of the glass to keep it separate from the limeade/vodka layer. It may sound tricky but it's pretty easy. They look gorgeous and taste amazing.
A pitcher of beer is always nice and American.
Slow Comfortable Screw on an Island
sloe gin
southern comfort
Vodka
Orange Juice
Pineapple juice
blue island pucker(blue curacao if you cant find the BIP)
Top with splash of sprite
Kinda hard to give you measurements because im used to make it at the bar in a pint glass, but its a sweet drink with a kick and you can pretty much add as much or as little alcohol as you want depending on how "happy" you want to be and it will taste good. Ill tell you it should end up being a redish/purple color.
a keg.
