Zoom cocktail parties and how to host your own

May 13, 2020 by ProCook Leave a Comment

You may not be able to get to your favourite bar right now but that doesn’t have to mean missing out on a night with your friends with a cocktail in hand altogether, why not try your hand at mixology and host a virtual cocktail party instead? Set up your account, get your friends involved and you’ll soon forget all about hitting your usual spot – you won’t have to worry about a taxi home afterwards either!

We’re sharing the recipes to some of our go-to cocktails below but don’t forget that some of the very best cocktails are made from mixing unexpected flavours together so feel free to swap out ingredients and add in different fruits or juices to create your very own signature drink.

Hosting cocktail hour at home is easy with ProCook, how about this Sibling Negroni G&T?

To mix things up a little you could use a flavoured gin or tonic or swap the lime garnish for something a little more exotic.
