If you are hosting a party, it’s easy to set up a cocktail bar area for guests to serve themselves. Have a selection of wines, a few large batch cocktails and some simple ingredients for mixed drinks. Make sure you have plenty of ice.
What is Brandy?
Brandy is a spirit made by distilling wine and can be aged in wooden casks. The difference in Brandy and Cognac is that Cognac must come from the Cognac region in France and Brandy can be made anywhere in the world.
The classic daiquiri with Rum, lime and simple syrup blended with ice for a frosty and refreshing party drink. This large batch cocktail is perfect for any get together or game day gathering. Made simply with beer, pineapple juice and ginger ale. This is a twist on one of my all- time favorite cocktails and I think the pineapple version might be even better. Made with Pineapple juice, orange juice and peach schnapps. Another fun twist on a classic. This easy mixed drink is made with pineapple, orange and vodka. So easy to mix by the glass or a pitcher. Try this simple cocktail after a long day or mix up a pitcher for a party. Made with my favorite Black Spiced Rum, ginger ale and apple cider. Perfect for holiday parties and gatherings. Made with apple cider, pomegranate juice and sparkling wine. 3 Ingredient Cocktails

Brandy Alexander is terrific, and it tastes even better when you mix it with a cognac bottle. I was just trying stuff out one day, and I made this amazing combination. I was so happy when I drank this mix.
