Develop the menu by first choosing several different cocktail bases or mixes. Some of these can be alcohol-free and marketed to designated drivers. I have provided some mix recipes below. Choose at least one citrus, one fruit and one chocolate recipe. Generally, the Margarita will be the most-requested drink, followed closely by the Daiquiri.
Men are more likely to prefer a vodka-based citrus beverage or liquor straight up.
Let's go with vodka, tequila and dark rum since they can be blended with just about anything. Tequila and rum are the base spirit in many tropical drinks including the Margarita and Daiquiri. Vodka is also a favorite mixer and the base for another popular drink, the screwdriver. Keep a blender handy to make crushed ice and a separate container for cube ice. Shake and pour into glass.
