It may not be Friday just yet but we are already dreaming about the weekend! Here are 20 of our favorite cocktail recipes from our archives, in case you are needing to unwind or entertain friends this coming weekend. π
1. It's no secret that we love bloody mary's! You should try a blood orange bloody mary. 2. One of Emma's all time favorites: whiskey lemonade! 3. This sweet drink is called First Kiss punch. 4. We love trying to infuse liquors! You can see our first attempt and the results here.5. Do you love unexpected flavors? Try a cinnamon sour. 6. Elsie has a tradition of creating namesake cocktails for her close friends. This delicious creation is called the Skunkboy, named after Katie. 7. If you're in need of a little spice in your life try a jalapeno bloody mary. 8. If you're planning a picnic or backyard BBQ this summer might we suggest making a pitcher of sangria. Yum!9. Try a spin on a classic drink, like this dolled up old fashioned. 10. Nothing says "summertime" like a citrus sparkler! 11. One of our all time favorites, and a signature cocktail choice at Elsie's wedding: a classic mojito. 12. Another twist on a summertime classic is a cucumber margarita. 13. Want to make your own ginger syrup? Here's a recipe to creating a homemade whiskey ginger. 14. Try a wasabi bloody mary for brunch this weekend. 15. In the mood for something a little sweeter? Try a blood orange lemon fizz.16. Another namesake cocktail created for our friend Rachel, the pink house. 17. We love this mango + plum sweet tea cocktail. Yum!18. Love this simple recipe for homemade whiskey sours. 19. There are so many ways to add fresh fruit to your drink. Try a smashed raspberry lemonade cocktail. 20.

Wow, tons of ideas for summer picnics! I’m currently looking for recipe for some natural, blue cocktail because our blue themed picnic in Central Park is approaching. Last year’s pink theme was wayyy easier… Blueberry cocktail maybe.

Wow, I am always inspired by your cocktail pictures, even if I always choose wine over cocktails. However, I do have quite a few dinner parties coming up and I’m going to attempt jazzy them up with some of your wonderful ideas. I just wish I could get my hands on some of those Kerr mason jars here, but I’m in Dubai. We do have Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel, so I’m on the look out! Luckily I do have some stripy straws.

I love how you always pull together these posts, it is a great place to browse and choose your recipes! These all look so good!
