If you’re hosting a party or get-together at your apartment, why serve the same old boring drinks you always do? Yes, rum and cola is tasty, but how much fun is it? Check out these Pinterest-worthy cocktails, and get ready to be the bartender no one can forget!

Pinterest-Ready Cocktails to Make You the Star Bartender:

• Blood & Passion Margarita. Shake 1.5 parts silver tequila, 1 part blood orange liqueur, 0.75 part lime juice and a 0.5 part passion fruit syrup (or to taste) with ice. Strain and serve with ice and a blood orange slice. Super easy, tasty and dramatic! Blend with ice and serve in a sugar-rimmed glass, if you prefer a blended drink.

• Adult Raspberry Lemonade. Freeze raspberries and lemon slices ahead of time for a garnish. Mix 2 parts lemonade with 1 part raspberry vodka. Serve on ice with frozen raspberries and lemon slices. This makes a beautiful drink for barbecues and outdoor gatherings.

• Malibu Sunset. There’s just something about a layered drink that is so appealing. This one is super easy to make and fun to drink. You must add the ingredients in the correct order to get the layered look. First, start with three to four large or six to seven small ice cubes in the bottom of the glass. Pour 2 parts pineapple juice, top with 1 part coconut rum and very gently drizzle grenadine from the top of the glass. You’ll get a beautiful sunset look that your guests will love, and the drink can be mixed when enjoyed.

• Blue Lagoon. The ultimate Pinterest drink. 1 part blue curacao, 1 part vodka and 4 parts lemon juice (sweetened or not, as desired.) Shake with ice, strain and enjoy. It’s beautiful, fun and a modern classic. This is also a very easy drink to use as a base. Simply add sparkling juice instead of lemon juice for instance, or try adding extra flavor elements for something a little different.

These cocktails are sure to be a memorable part of your next event, but having a great location to host is important too.
