Homemade cocktail ideas

[Gabi taft]

Hey, whats everyones go to drinks to make at home and take with you? I've seen a lot of people making flavoured vodka and then just buying the mixer at the festival. i like this idea but more of a rum drinker, so does anyone have any ideas for spiced rum? i have bought the MOTH cocktails and will get some cold pints in but Id like to make something to take with me too!

Taken the run neat and pour it into a milkshake from Shakey Jakey in William's Green.

Bounty and Jaffa Cake are my favourites.

You need a box of Rennie with those Moth cocktails. 

[Slugy]

Limoncello margaritas

Salted caramel white Russians with Baileys as the milk

Malibu, peach schnapps, blue curacao and pineapple juice

Keeping them as short as possible if there are mixer involved

Oh and a big box of Rennies

I always have a bottle of vodka and a bottle of kahlua on my person at all times so I can have a white russian or espresso martini whenever I pass somewhere that sells milk or cold coffee.

 

[squirrelarmy]

4 litres of Long Island Ice Tea mix. 
 

750ml bottles of:

Rum, Vodka, Tequila, Gin

500ml bottle of Triple sec

2x 250ml bottles of lime. 
 

Mix with cans of coke on site and make sure you share with friends.

[donthaveacoolname]

I take a 50/50 mix of vodka and coffee liquor, then add milk for white Russians and iced coffee for espresso martinis

Could you premix the spirits? Ie. Take 4 bottles with a quarter in each and then just take one bottle in backpack each day?

Yeah. If you combine those quantities together first and then decant into 4 1 litre bottles you have a nice daily carrying mix. 

Easier than measuring out the exact quantities of each spirit into each bottle.

A litre of spirit mix is a huge amount to drink in a day for one person so I recommend having someone to share with.

Probably explains why I couldn't drink on Sunday at Bearded.....

Half a bottle of Costco Margarita mix, with an added shot of Parisienne Absinthe.

This is my favourite too, but just plain vanilla. My favourite place now gives me a discount cause I'm such a regular. Favourite  rums to add are Cut to the Spice and Black Magic. A lovely cold cocktail on a summer's day for the price of a pint.

Really! Intrigued and disgusted at the same time.

Dark and stormies were my go to Glastonbury cocktail for a few years. Dark rum, ginger beer (has to be old Jamaica for me), lime and a wee drop of angostura bitters.

 

Then in a huge crowd had run out of mixer and drank a large quantity of dark rum straight. Never quite tasted the same since.
