Find a few drinks everyone can get behind

A girls' night in is a good reason to mix familiar favorites or try a new recipe together. This list offers tart citrus, tropical fruit, coffee, and bubbles. Choose according to your friends' tastes; two or three options can make a more practical menu than ten separate shopping lists.

Mix and match the flavors

Margarita and Cosmopolitan are bright with lime. Bramble adds blackberry to gin and lemon, while French Martini combines vodka, pineapple, and raspberry. Sex on the Beach brings peach, orange, and cranberry. Piña Colada is creamy with coconut milk; Mojito is minty and fizzy. Aperol Spritz adds a bittersweet option. Espresso Martini and passion fruit Pornstar Martini round out the selection.

Set up before your friends arrive

Chill mixers, prepare garnishes, and check which recipes need a shaker or blender. Make drinks to order for the best foam, fizz, and texture. Add a mocktail to the menu so the group has a choice without alcohol.
