Drinks

And what would game night be without some lovely libations? Wine and beer are always welcome, but when you want to treat your guests to a handcrafted cocktail, you have a number of choices here. All these drinks are made to be host-friendly: easy highballs and game-friendly pitcher options so no one needs to be drawn away from the table to shake individual drinks. (The “dummy” from bridge is always a great one to volunteer for such tasks, but most games aren’t as accommodating.) I tend to prefer classic drinks; a handful are included in this chapter with subtle adaptations. And I whipped up a few new sippers for you as well. Just the thing to get those creative juices flowing.
