How Will We Break These
Epic Cocktail Recipes Down?
In light of their being over 59 recipes, we need some organization. How could I best help you, my friends, to find what type of drink you might be looking for? I decided the best way is to make it super easy. Especially, since we want to make a drink not read a stinkin post about all the details on alcohol. (I am going to drop a little information about this though, but we will take care of a few facts in a minute.)

Hibernation Precautions:
Yes, before we get to the good stuff, I do want to put a little information out there that would be somewhat beneficial (maybe). When you begin your mixing and measuring just know that you should do so responsibly and not to excess. Too much of a good thing can quickly become a very bad thing, if you get my drift. Just be cautious, clearly it should not become a routine or a fix to set aside your emotions during this time of sheltering in place.
“Avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs,” Surgeon General Jerome Adams says at a Coronavirus briefing.
Statista.com put this graph together to show the increase of alcohol sales during the first couple of weeks being quarantined with shelter in place (or as much as possible).
Be careful, be aware and do all things in moderation.
Let’s “Dive” Into Some of These
Epic Cocktail Recipes that You’ll Love:
If you are looking for a new recipe to try during this time of staying home, well have we got few for you! I did take time to separate them into the main liquor that you would need to make each of them, such as, Tequila, Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, Rum, Liqueurs, and Mix (multiple alcohols). If there’s an * (asterisk) next to the name of the recipe or description – the recipe is under the main alcohol category, but it does contain more than one type of alcohol.
Be Smart – When Making
Epic Cocktail Recipes
Before you just jump in thinking you want to try several of these, especially if they contain spirits that you don’t currently have in your cabinet or you have never tried. You may just hate it. Might want to consider buying the “airplane” or “sample” size bottles that usually contain 2 – 4 ounces. I could have saved myself a ton of money over the years if I had learned to do that long ago. It’s much easier to go back for the big bottle to make more of what you like. It hurt’s my feelings to pour good alcohol down the drain. For the most part though, I usually keep what I haven’t liked for company to try. Sometimes it gets mixed with other things to make new recipes down the road.
This wall of mini’s could just look like an epic cocktail recipe for a hangover….
