Ingredients
For one pouch
- 2 ounces alcohol vodka, rum, tequila, whiskey or gin
- 1½ cup lemonade or flavored lemonade
- ¼ cup sliced fruit and herbs
- ½ to 1 ounce simple syrup or triple sec, to taste (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
- Using a funnel, combine alcohol and lemonade in a cocktail pouch. Add desired fruit. Leave about ½–1 inch of room to avoid overfilling.
- Seal the pouches and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Unseal to insert a straw, then re-seal and enjoy.
Notes
Make them kid-friendly: If you will have kids in attendance they will definitely want one of these, so make sure you fill some non-alcoholic ones and label them appropriately! (Use a fruit punch or Kool-Aid to differentiate them from the grown-up colors, or serve them from a different cooler.) Write in Sharpie on the bottom if you don't plan to reuse the bags.
Tip: Don't use anything bubbly unless you're able to add it when you open them to put in the straw.
Flavors: Use whatever you like! These are the simple combinations I used in mine:
- vodka + plain lemonade + mint leaves + lemon slices
- tequila + limeade + lime slices
- rum + mango lemonade + mint leaves
- bourbon whiskey + peach lemonade + peach slices
- gin + strawberry lemonade + basil leaves
- rum + blueberry lemonade + blueberries
