Red, White and Blue Cocktail Menus:
One of my favorite ways to celebrate any occasion is to design a cocktail menu that fits the theme. It just so happens that the Fourth of July is one of the easiest to work with. You can quickly and easily design a cocktail menu using the patriotic colors of the holiday: simply think "Red, White, and Blue."
You will find below just a few suggestions for cocktails of each color in a variety of styles. Whether you want to stick with short and neat Martinis, serve tall sippers or fire up the blender for frozen delights, there are colorful options available.
Short & Stylin':
- Red: Campari Cocktail, Imperial, Clover Club Cocktail, Red Carpet
- White: Martini, Mango Sage Lady, Saketini, Licorice Stick
- Blue: Envy, Sapphire Martini, Very Berry Cosmo, Blue Carnation
Tall & Refreshing:
- Red: Americano, Cape Codder, La Berceuse, Watermelon Wave
- White: Gin & Tonic, Caipirinha, Vodka Collins, Atone-Mint
- Blue: Blue Hawaiian, The Something Blue, Hpnotiq Margarita, Air Force One
Beautifully Blended:
Patriotic Cocktails:
If following the theme of July 4th doesn't appeal to you, maybe one of these "patriotic" cocktails will.
