Hosting a poker night? Or just want to feel fancy? How about mixing the glamour of casino games with your fav drink?
Below, you’ll find a selection of 7 casino-inspired cocktails. No worries, these drinks are simple to make! And their taste is an absolute blast!
Top 7 Cocktails to Create a Casino Vibe
1. The Royal Flush Martini
The Royal Flush Martini is as classy as it sounds. Ever had the pleasure of playing poker at Parimatch casino or any Parimatch alternative? How about poker’s high stakes landing into your glass? Then, the Royal Flush Martini is a must-try. This one is smooth and fruity. And yes, a little fancy.
Ingredients:
2 oz vodka
1 oz cranberry juice
1 oz peach schnapps
A splash of lime juice
Ice
Lime wedge or cherry
Preparation? Fill a shaker with ice. Then, pour in liquid ingredients. Shake it up for 15 secs. Have a martini glass handy? Strain the cocktail into it. Garnish with a lime wedge or cherry. Done!
Tip: Serve the drink in a chilled glass. That will add extra flair. Pop the glass in the freezer 10 mins before.
2. Blackjack Sour
This one is about balance. Pretty much like a good blackjack hand! It’s smooth and tangy. A touch of creaminess does the final trick. Perfectly satisfying. Yet, leaving you eager for the next round!
Ingredients:
2 oz bourbon
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 egg white (optional but makes it frothy)
Ice
Lemon peel
Now, how do you make Blackjack Sour? Add liquid ingredients to a shaker. Yes, with egg white. Shake without ice for 10 secs. That will create the foam. Add ice and shake again – 10 secs more. Strain into the glass and garnish with a lemon peel. Enjoy!
Tip: Not into egg whites? Skip it. The drink will still taste great.
3. Roulette Red Rush
This drink is bold and fun. Just as spinning the roulette wheel feels. Its bright red color is an attention grabber at any party!
Ingredients:
2 oz red vodka
1 oz grenadine
1 oz lemon-lime soda
Ice
Cherry
Ready to make your Roulette Red Rush? No shakers here. Fill the glass with ice right away. Then, add vodka and grenadine. Top it off with lemon-lime soda. Stir gently. And garnish with a cherry. That’s it!
Tip: No red vodka? You can get away with regular vodka. Use red food coloring!
4. Slots Sunrise
Ever played slot machines? At least, you must have seen them. The spinning reels look flashy. And this cocktail is just as colorful! Sweet, tangy, and super refreshing.
Ingredients:
2 oz tequila
4 oz orange juice
2 oz grenadine
Ice
Orange slice
Again, no shaker is needed for preparation. Take a glass and fill it with ice. Pour in tequila. Add orange juice. Slowly drizzle grenadine — it should sink to the bottom. The finishing touch? Garnish the drink with an orange slice.
5. Craps Collins
Okay, Craps Collins. Bubbly and refreshing. This one has just the right amount of zing. Similar to the thrill of rolling the dice.
Ingredients:
2 oz gin

1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
Soda water
Ice
Lemon slice
Ready to give it a shot? Then put some ice in the glass. Add gin. Add lemon juice. Add simple syrup. Top it all off with soda water. Stir gently. Almost done! Garnish with a lemon slice. Now, totally done!
Tip: Gin is not your style? Replace it with vodka. This won't spoil the drink.
6. Baccarat Bliss
Feeling elegant tonight? Baccarat Bliss is the drink to accentuate your mood. It’s all bubbly and floral. Ideal for a fancy vibe.
Ingredients:
4 oz Champagne
1 oz elderflower liqueur
Lemon twist
First off, have a Champagne flute handy. Pour elderflower liqueur into it. Then, top it with chilled Champagne. The final touch? Use lemon twist for garnish.
Tip: Does Champagne feel too pricey? Use prosecco instead!
7. High Stakes Hurricane
How does going all-in at a high-stakes table feel? Adventurous. Maybe, a bit reckless. That is, riding out a hurricane with nothing but your instincts to guide you. This drink feels just that bold. Besides, it’s fruity.
Ingredients:
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
Ice
Okay, it’s time to get your shaker out again! Fill it with ice. Add all the liquid components. Those are rum, juices, and simple syrup. Shake well for 10 secs or so. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Ready!
Casino Mocktails: Non-Alcoholic Fun for Everyone
Now, what if you’re hosting a mixed crowd? Or do you just want to skip the booze? Below are some mocktail versions of casino drinks:
Royal Flush Refresher
A non-alcoholic version of the Royal Flush Martini. What goes instead of vodka and schnapps? Cranberry and peach juice! Add a splash of sparkling water. That will add fizz.
Blackjack Cooler
A soft alternative to Blackjack Sour. Skip bourbon. And egg white, if you wish. Mix fresh lemonade with a dash of bitters. That will create a tangy, frothy twist.
Roulette Red Sparkle
To recreate Roulette Red Rush, trade vodka for soda water. Use grenadine as usual. You can also add an extra splash of lemon-lime soda
Slots Sunrise Mocktail
Swapping tequila for soda water works for Slots Sunrise as well. You’ll still get the same colorful layers. Orange juice and grenadine won’t go anywhere!
Zesty Dice Cooler
Roll the dice with this crisp variation. Use soda water instead of gin. Add some cucumber juice for a fresh, zingy finish.
Baccarat Bloom
The baccarat-inspired mocktail will keep the glamour intact. What goes in place of Champagne? Sparkling white grape juice. And a touch of elderflower cordial.
Hurricane Breeze
A substitute for dark rum in High-Stakes Hurricane? That’s a blend of mango and pineapple juices. The passion fruit and lime will save the bold flavors.
Time to Shake Things Up!
So, which cocktail fits your vibe? Prefer sipping on a Royal Flush Martini? Or, enjoy Slot Sunrise by the pool? Whichever you choose, it will add fun to any occasion.
Try one. Or try them all. And make those memories unforgettable!
