A happy hour cocktail is the perfect way to start your weekend. It offers a break from the usual wine-and-beer routine, and adds a sophistication touch to the celebration. The most popular drinks to serve during a happy hour are margaritas, Moscow Mules, daiquiris, and the Old Fashioned.
These drinks are easy to prepare and can create a fun atmosphere for Happy Hour. Many cocktails can now be made in trendy versions, as well as the traditional flavours. A Sour Watermelon Vodka Slush, for example, is the perfect choice for summer parties. This mouth-watering drink is made from vodka, lemonade and Sour Patch watermelons.
Another cocktail to consider is the Midori, a frozen melonball cocktail. This refreshing summertime beverage has a familiar flavor and is easy to prepare. It can also be made as a mocktail which is great for people who don't like alcohol. You can also add vodka to make this more alcoholic if you're hosting an event or happy hour.
Hosting a virtual Happy Hour can allow you to offer different kinds of cocktails to your subscribers. Many kits contain premium liquors as well as mixers and garnishes. Some kits can ship the same day as your order. Virtual Happy Hours allow you to teach your subscribers how they can make their own beverages.
Cocktails are a great opportunity to show off your personality. There are many versions of the classic drink, including the Old Fashioned or Vesper Martini. Each cocktail can be made with a different amount of vodka. You can mix all ingredients together with a muddler (or a bar spoon) and then pour the mixture in a glass. You can then decorate the cocktail with a slice of lemon or orange, olive, or mint.
Consider adding red wine to your Happy Hour for an elegant and sophisticated experience. Cabernet sauvignon has become a popular wine in America. The wine is deep in color and has strong flavors. It is a great wine to pair with spicy, tart, creamy, and other foods. Cabernet is traditionally dry. However there are a few sweeter versions.
No matter what, Happy Hour should be enjoyable. Place a table, or set up a station so that your guests can have drinks. You can provide small snacks for your guests to keep them satisfied until dinner. You need to plan your budget. It is best to keep the preparations as simple and straightforward as possible. It is important to warmly welcome guests.
Last but not least, remember your favorite teetotallers. Seedlip's cocktail kit is great for those who like a tangy and citrusy flavor.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
