5 Easy Batch Cocktails For Your Backyard BBQ or Relaxing Weekend

It's heating up and

The time has arrived for those poolside soirees, graduations and backyard BBQs. These are the things we look forward to all winter long. While these activities are what make the summer amazing, don't forget these events need to have delicious refreshing cocktails to keep the party going. We all know what it feels like to be at an event with no libations (not fun). Unless you hire a bartender...it can be a task to keep all your guests hydrated and refreshed. So how do you make sure that everyone has a tasty cocktail if you don't have a bartender onsite?

You could stand and make all the cocktails yourself. Going this route will have you working all night and not enjoying your own party. You could create a "self serve" situation. However leaving liquor and mixers out has the potential to be a disaster. You may run through your alcohol stash a little faster than anticipated, as many people will over pour their drinks. Here is a solution. Mix up some pre-batched cocktails and have them on hand for the whole day. So with a little prep time up front you can set yourself up for a hassle free, mess free party.
