[Jopet]

Hey lovely ladies :D, I am planning a cocktail party next month (just the girls) I will be inviting about 10 girls so I was wondering if any of you had any tips or idea's for me??? even your fav cocktail recipe? Sorry lol I just want this night to be heaps of fun :D.

[BriansBride07]

Sounds fun. Sorry I don't drink many mixed drinks so I really can't help you there. But not sure if this is considered a cocktail or not but maybe margaretta's (sp) YOu can dress up the glasses with fancy little umbrellas or penis straws to drink from.

Oooo i love cocktails what types do u like?

Jamie will know more recipes than me when he comes home but one of my favs is -

Tia maria
Baileys
Chocolate milk
toppped with whipped cream(out of a can will do)
You can make it as strong or as weak as u like by altering the amounts.

There's also this website which is quite good http://www.cocktailmaking.co.uk/cocktaillist.php - good luck! xxx

The one I was going to suggest is a variation on your Chocolate Banana Martini

One part creme de cacao
One part vanilla vodca

Stir with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm tastes just like fudgesicle!!!!

I am going to have to try that chocolate orange cocktail ... that is my absolute favourite flavour combo!!!

I saw this really cool vodka slushy recipe on TV, I haven't tried it but it looks so fun:

Pour quite a bit of cranberry juice in a 13 X 9 baking dish, probably almost a whole bottle or pitcher full. Whisk in a can of defrosted orange juice concentrate and then top off with about a third of a bottle of Absolute vodka. Put it in the freezer, it won't freeze solid b/c of the vodka and then scoop some into little dessert dishes.

LOL sounds like you will be drinking jungle juice (otherwise known as swamp water) by the end of the night :cheers:

[WebLady]

Sounds like fun, I love cocktails! :cheers: One of my favs is the cosmopolitan.

Here is how I make it:

1 oz vodka (I like Grey Goose)
1/2 oz Cointreau (can be made with triple sec, it's cheaper, but not quite as good)
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz cranberry juice

Pour into a shaker over ice and shake until you get frost on the outside. Strain it in a chilled
martini glass.

Oooh, another fav of mine is the Bay Breeze. It is 1 part Vodka, 1 part Cranberry juice and
1 part Pineapple juice. I throw a splash of sprite in mine too. Serve over ice in high ball or hurricane glass :)
