CLASSIC PARTY COCKTAILS - Easy Drinks for your Party

HI EVERYBODY !!!
Today I'm going to give you some excellent drink ideas for your next party .... But first let me update you on the upcoming party .

The guys got together last Sunday to call and confirm invites , it's now less then 4 weeks until the party . They did a lot of calling and a little drinking .... But it did turn out very productive . When throwing the perfect party make sure everyone knows plenty of time in advance . The bigger / more important the party the longer in advance you should have a head count . At this party we are providing the main course and having people bring side dishes so 2 weeks in advance is good , but for something like a formal wedding you have to have a head count a good month before due to the fact you have to plan a whole meal , especially if your using a caterer . For a catered party you should have return written confirmation , but for this kind of Pot Luck a phone confirmation is fine . When people ask " What can I bring ? " let them choose their specialty , just say what do you want to bring , I'll either add it or put your name next to it . This allows people to make what they have the time and supplies to make . So I'll continue to update you on this subject .
In the mean time , as I said the boy's , while they were planning needed something to drink ,

So here are some of our favorites .....

These are just a few of our favorites , all drink ingredients are for one drink , to make more drinks just double , triple , or quadruple the recipe . Some of these drinks can be made in pitchers before the party ( just don't add the ice until serving , and remember to stir before the pour ) .
