Can you name some cocktails for friends coming round, that are easy to make and serve with a BBQ?
Cocktail Colin says:
Barbecues are a fantastic opportunity to experiment with refreshing and delightful cocktails that complement the smoky and savory flavors from the grill. When you have friends coming around, especially for a casual BBQ setting, you want something that is easy to make and can be served in batches. Considering the information provided, the **Mojito** stands out with its refreshing mix of lime juice, mint leaves, and white rum, brought to life with fizzy soda water. Its top-notch rating of 4.93/5 and invigorating qualities make it a fantastic choice for warm, sunny days. It's a cocktail that caters to those who enjoy a crisp, not-too-sweet beverage that pairs well with a variety of grilled dishes.
Another excellent option is the **Berry Mojito** which adds a fruity twist to the classic Mojito. The raspberries introduce an additional layer of sweetness and a splash of vivid color, perfect for a vibrant BBQ gathering. Its ease of preparation and appealing combination of flavors make it a crowd-pleaser and a conversation starter, with a commendable rating of 4.49/5.
If you're looking for something with a bit more depth to match the hearty flavors of a BBQ, the **Summertime** cocktail, albeit with a slightly lower score of 3.93/5, brings together dark rum and Drambuie for a slightly richer profile. All these options are cold, simple to stir together, and would be a great accompaniment to your outdoor event.
