Popular Class Cocktail Ideas:

• Classic Cocktails with a Twist:

  • Old Fashioned: A timeless classic, the Old Fashioned can be customized with different bitters, sugars, and garnishes to match your event's theme. Even a Cognac or Tequila version is a special treat.

  • Margarita: A refreshing and versatile choice. Experiment with different fruit flavors (strawberry, mango, pineapple) or spice levels for a unique twist. A tajin rim is a special twist.

  • Moscow Mule: Simple yet satisfying, the Moscow Mule's ginger beer and lime combination is always a crowd-pleaser. Serve in copper mugs for an elegant presentation. Adding some blackberry is a sweet twist.

• Fruity & Refreshing:

  • French 75: A bubbly and elegant cocktail with gin, champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. Perfect for a celebratory occasion. Great for a welcome drink at a wedding.

  • Paloma: A tequila-based cocktail with grapefruit soda, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. A light and refreshing option, especially for warmer weather.

  • Seasonal Sangria: Sangria is a great way to incorporate seasonal fruits and flavors. Think berries in the summer and apples and cranberries in the fall.

• Sophisticated & Elegant:

  • Aperol Spritz: A vibrant and refreshing Italian aperitivo with Aperol, prosecco, and soda water. Garnished with an orange slice, it's visually appealing and delicious.

  • Negroni: A classic Italian cocktail with gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. A bold and complex flavor profile for the adventurous palate.

  • Manhattan: A strong and sophisticated cocktail with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Perfect for a formal event.
