In today’s rough economic times, we’re seeing a lot of bachelor parties being held at homes instead of the bars. Doing the party this way allows everyone to drink cheaper and also lends itself to creative mixology. Here are a few recipes that The Man Registry team can personally vouch for.

Jungle Juice – This concoction is best known as a college party drink. Need I say more?

Ingredients – ** Makes enough for the entire party** 2 liters of Everclear, 1 gallon of orange juice, 4 liters of Sprite, 2 quarts of cranberry juice, 2 quarts of iced tea, 1 gallon of red Hawaiian Punch, 4 oranges, 4 apples, and 2 limes.

Directions – Pour the Everclear into a large cooler or Tupperware container, add in all of the mixers and stir, cut up the fruit and drop into the finished product.

California Gold Rush – A great looking cocktail that most people have never heard of.

Ingredients – 12 oz. 7-Up, 2 oz. vodka, 1.5oz. Goldschlager

Directions – Pour 7-Up and SLOWLY stir in vodka and Goldschlager.

Best Man Speech – The drink gets its name because of the number of best man speeches it has been directly responsible for destroying.

Ingredients – 3 beers, 3 shots of whiskey, 1 can of frozen pink lemonade

Directions – Pour the beer, vodka, and lemonade into a pitcher and mix. Serve ice cold.

As always, we encourage everyone to be responsible during the bachelor party. The great thing about holding the party at the home of the groom or best man is that it gives everyone a place to crash for the night. If someone insists on leaving, make sure the number of a local cab company is made available.

Cheers!
