Part Two of the A-Z Cocktail Party: 36 Cocktail Recipes
The second Half of the A-Z Cocktail Party will give you 36 cocktail recipes, and even let you know what glass they should be served in.
In my article, “The A-Z Cocktail Party” . I addressed the tools and glassware involved in a great cocktail party. This second half of that article will give you all the recipes you need to have a dizzying cocktail party, and even tell you what kind of glass it goes in. If you can not remember what each glass looks like, then reference the first article here again.
Remember, you don’t have to have a bar stocked with all of these at once. You can always pick just one or two per party. I tried to include some classics and some more obscure drinks here.
