A hot party always starts with delicious cocktails. Whether you are entertaining your favorite bachelorette at home or making some cocktails before heading out for your big night, great cocktail recipes are a must! You can make some old school cocktail favorites or cocktails that are served in the hottest clubs. Whatever cocktail recipes you’re looking for, you will find them here at Hot Bachelorette!
Sometimes when enjoying a delicious cocktail, the amount of alcohol can be disguised by the sweetness of the drink. Stick with the measurements in the recipes. If you are not a professional bartender, you may inadvertently make your drinks far more potent than you responsibly should. It is always a wise to follow the suggested allotments in the recipes to keep the drinks tasty and to keep the bachelorettes safe!
Before getting started with the cocktails, one thing to consider is that there is no such thing as a party without Champagne (sparkling wine can be used as a substitute). See the separate section on Champagne by clicking HERE.
What you will need
Let’s start with some old school favorites:
Fuzzy Navel- a fun girlie drink from the 80s

1 oz sour mix
3 oz orange juice
Can be served in a rocks glass with ice and a cherry garnish.
Blow Job – something that never gets old
¾ oz Irish Cream (Bailey’s)
¾ oz Kahlua
Topped with whipped cream
Pour the contents into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake slightly, strain into a 1.5 oz shot glass and top with whipped cream.
Put the shot glass in your mouth, holding with your lips and throw it back in one quick shot – no hands allowed!
Be careful not to get the whipped cream all over your face.
Purple Hooter – for a real blast to the past
½ oz of vodka (use Stoli Blueberi for a modern twist)

1.5 oz Vodka
2 oz cranberry juice
2 oz orange juice
2 oz pineapple juice

If it is too dark, add a splash of lime juice.
Margarita – how can you say “no” to a Margarita?
2 oz Tequila
1 oz triple sec (substitute Blue Curacao for an “electric blue” margarita)

The modern Margarita can be served in many ways:
Blended with ice for a frozen margarita

Strained and poured into a chilled martini glass.
Margaritas have been around a long time but there are many Margarita variations for you bachelorettes to enjoy.
You can find many flavors to add to your margarita in a liquor store OR you can muddle some fruit and make your own.
Here are some suggestions: Pear, Mango, Kiwi, Peach, Watermelon or Strawberries make for yummy margaritas.
Just add about 1-1.5 oz, about 2 tablespoons, of pureed fruit or syrup depending on how sweet you like your cocktail.
Super hot, new drinks found in trendy clubs and restaurants, be the first to show off your new bar-tending skills to your bachelorette!

Remember, fresh ingredients make the hottest drinks. Make sure you have an accurate headcount and the proper amount of alcohol and glassware for everyone. A good rule of thumb is 3 ounces of alcohol per person or three cocktails per guest. Remember, safety first. Don’t over pour your alcohol and don’t over-serve your guests. Put a little bit of love into each drink and you will please even the most discerning bachelorette. And most importantly…have a fabulous time!
