Strawberry Daiquiri is a simple and elegant Fourth of July cocktail. In this tasty cocktail, bourbon and strawberries are combined with pina colada. You can top the cocktail off with whipped crème. For an added touch of elegance, garnish the cocktail with a sage leaf.
Blue Hawaiian is another fantastic Fourth of July drink. This drink is made of pineapple juice and coconut cream. It is similar in taste to Long Island Iced Tea. This classic cocktail is not only fun for children, but it can also be enjoyed throughout the year.
If you want a more savory drink, try a Bloody Mary. This traditional cocktail is great for a 4th-of- July brunch or party. This cocktail works best when served in a highball glass, or double old-fashioned rocks glasses.

Fruit smoothies are a great option, as well. Some fresh mint leaves and a few lemon slices are great additions.
Layered shots make for a more robust and boozy experience. A stacked shot can be made with just a few ingredients and some time. It's incredibly impressive.

Independence Day is a wonderful time to be with family and friends. To complete the celebration, serve some red, white and blue cookies.
FAQ
What is the difference in a cocktail and a mocktail, you ask?
A cocktail is made from liquor. A mocktail is made from fruit juice.
What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned would be a great choice. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
Another option is to try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine will have ten proofs. A 16 oz. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. 45 proofs of Scotch would equal a bottle.
What should you do if your cocktail gets too warm?
For 5 minutes, chill your drinks in the fridge before you open them. You won't be able to heat them up as fast.

How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This method involves speaking with your server and telling them what type of drink you want. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
