Weekends and cocktail parties go hand in hand. You don’t have to worry about waking up early in the morning for the office or sending children to school. Friday and Saturday nights are official game and gathering nights when you should be calling your friends and family at home, putting on a bartending hat, and dancing until your feet hurt.

While everything else can be managed, crafting cocktails is something you have to indulge in. Owning a home bar comes with responsibility, one of which is entertaining guests with refreshing beverages. Mayur Marne, Partner & Bar Head at Cobbler and Crew, shared a few cocktail recipes that you can replicate at your gathering and shine as the best bartender in your group.
