We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process. Sure, there are balloons and candles, but what do grown-ups really want at a party? Birthday cocktails! Guests love having a special drink. It adds a signature touch and sends a message that you went the extra mile to make the occasion memorable. A birthday cocktail also sets the tone for the festivities. If you're aiming for a swanky affair, consider serving cocktails in elegant coupes or martini glasses. Want a more casual hang? Then think big-batch drinks in pitchers or punch bowls, where people can serve themselves. That way you're not stuck playing bartender all night and can actually enjoy mingling with friends — perhaps while snacking on delicious finger food and party appetizers instead.

It was that, sure, but it was also a watershed, a...

When the summer heat hits (and boy, has it hit), I crave super cold, fruity drinks that will quench my thirst. Beyond lemons and limes, I spend much of the rest of the year ignoring the juice aisle. Since I’m not a parent, I don’t stock my fridge with juice boxes and pouches, and after my own childhood ended, I didn’t form a juice-guzzling habit of my own.

Taste Of Home

This gin fizz recipe is as complex-tasting as a simple cocktail can get. It’s made with only five ingredients and has a similar sweet-tart character to lemonade (especially when made with a citrus-forward gin). Adding egg whites gives the cocktail a nuanced consistency that makes it as velvety as a milkshake or an ice cream float. And because the cocktail is finished with effervescent club soda, it feels lighter than many other gin cocktails. It’s makes a great porch sipper, brunch cocktail or after-dinner treat.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.
