Do you love hosting parties but don't know how to make fancy cocktails that will impress your guests?

Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people find themselves in the same situation.

There are so many amazing cocktails to choose from we thought we would ask our Spring Chicken Facebook community which ones are the best and the easiest to make. Luckily, they came up with some brilliant suggestions from posh cocktails to simple mixed drinks, so there’s something for everyone.

For the semi-pro mixologists among you or those simply looking for an easy alternative to your standard tipple, these amazing cocktails will give you something to try out this weekend. All cocktails are best served in the sun!

1. Pina Colada

The piña colada is the best summer drink. To make this fruity cocktail, you’ll need pineapple juice, coconut cream, crushed ice, and light rum (leave out the rum if you want it virgin). Blend it all up and you’re set!

Or if you are a traditionalist why not use a good old-fashioned cocktail shaker? Now kick back in your hammock and turn up Rupert Holmes’ Escape.

2. Porn Star Martini

A relative newcomer to the world of amazing cocktails, the Porn Star Martini was born in Douglas Ankrah’s Townhouse bar in London back in 2002. Since its inception, it has taken the cocktail world by storm and quickly established itself on every cocktail menu from London to Singapore. If you can get over the name, it’s a winner on the tastiness front.

For this flirty cocktail, you’ll need vanilla vodka, passoā, passionfruit juice, lime juice, and a shot of prosecco on the side. Shake the first four ingredients together then float half an upturned passionfruit if you’re feeling professional.

3. Long Island Iced Tea

The Long Island iced tea doesn’t mess around, no matter the version you choose. For this recipe, you’ll need tequila, white rum, vodka, gin, triple sec, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and coca cola. Yes, that’s five different shots of alcohol…

Hold onto your hat, you’re in for a rollercoaster ride!

4. Strawberry Daiquiri

A strawberry daiquiri is a great way to make the most of strawberry season. Blend together a combination of fresh and frozen strawberries, sugar syrup, light rum, and lime juice.

This fruity combo is perfect for the summer season and looks good with summer frocks to boot!

5. Mojito

This Cuban cocktail asks for rum, mint, lime, sparkling water and sugar. Start by crushing lime and mint leaves together, then add sugar and the remaining lime and crush again. Top off with rum and sparkling water. Super-refreshing, if a little lethal…

Definitely, one to tick off the amazing cocktails menu sooner rather than later.

8. Margarita

The margarita is a drink that polarizes opinion, with many people arguing over the correct ratios of tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave syrup.

The only thing I can say for certain is that it packs a punch. Don’t forget to salt the rim of your glass for the proper taste of Mexico!

A cocktail that stands out from the crowd, the blue lagoon is easy to make but exciting to look at. Combine vodka, blue curaçao and lemonade, pour over ice, and garnish with a twist of lemon.
