12 Big-Batch Cocktails You Can Make Ahead
Saturday, August 17, 2019
When it comes to summer entertaining, we’re all about recipes that we can make ahead of time, and that goes for drinks too. Yes, beer and wine are low-effort beverages, but a signature cocktail takes even the smallest backyard dinner party to a new level.
1. Breakfast Sangria
Yes, this is called breakfast sangria (because it most closely resembles a mimosa), but you can really serve it at any hour of the day. Just be sure to load it with whatever citrus fruits you can find.
2. Bomb Pop Pitcher Cocktail
Layered cocktails might seem intimidating, but this bomb pop pitcher cocktail is surprisingly easy to make. And it’s stable enough to be transferred to the fridge once it’s layered. Just be sure to stir it after you show it off to your guests and before serving.
3. Blood Orange Mimosa Pitcher Cocktail
The make-ahead portion of this cocktail is really squeezing the blood oranges — although when they aren’t in season, a fresh juice will do. Serve it as more of a sangria if you want — just add a liqueur and some orange slices the night before — then simply combine with sparkling wine and you’re all set.
