Garden Party Cocktails
Dry and refreshing long drinks make perfect cocktails for a summer garden party or barbeque. Tequila and Gin are both ideal bases for crisp and complex long drinks. All four cocktails can be made in advance in pitchers, ready for your party.
Mixing the Cocktails
Follow these instructions to mix the four cocktails. Make sure each cocktail is stirred well before serving to ensure that the ingredients are properly mixed, and the ice begins to chill the drink. Some dilution of the cocktail will occur as the ice melts. This is important to achieve the correct balance of the drink and would have occurred had the drink been made individually and shaken with ice.
