🌟 Best Cocktail Pitcher Recipes 🌟
1. Pomegranate Rum Punch
When it comes to festive make ahead cocktails in jugs, a rum punch is an easy choice. It's warm, spicy, and jazzed up with sprigs of fresh rosemary, orange slices, pomegranates, and cinnamon sticks.
2. Blueberry and Sage Gin Punch
Gin always brings some class to proceedings! Cocktails with strong flavors work best at parties during the holiday season, and I love the sage in this one.
3. Raspberry-Lime Champagne Punch Recipe
Champagne makes everything better! But be mindful when making champagne cocktail jugs that you must add the fizz at the last minute. Make the jugs with all the other ingredients, and then top them up with bubbles just before guests arrive to get the most out of the sparkle.
4. Fig, thyme & honey G&T
Try this deliciously aromatic addition to the list of cocktails for a crowd; it works wonders with a cheese platter. Try it with a grazing board.
5. Easy Pitcher Palomas
If you love margaritas, try. Paloma as well. This recipe might be punchy, but it's mellowed out by the addition of club soda, which you can add in varying ratios depending on how sloshed you want everyone to be...
6. Elderflower Champagne Cocktail
This cocktail jug recipe is light and elegant, so it veers away from the heavier flavors of party season and gives you something a little more refreshing. But champagne gives it that party feeling and extra special finishing touch.
7. Vanilla greyhound pitcher cocktail
Grapefruit has a slight bitterness to it, which means you don't get overloaded with sweet flavors! Cocktail jug recipes with vodka have a real kick to them, and this recipe recommends that you infuse the vodka and grapefruit juice overnight if you can.
8. The Hugo Pitcher Cocktail
With notes of lemon, basil, and elderflower, I'd normally serve a Hugo in the summer. But with all the heavy winter food around when you're party hosting during the holidays, you sometimes need a cocktail jug recipe that is more refreshing!
9. Blood Orange Mint Mimosas
Hosting a festive brunch party? I'd definitely suggest you serve mimosas. Blood Orange has that vibrant red color that is so on trend for Christmas, too.
10. Large Batch Cosmopolitan Recipe
Cosmos are a famous cocktail that everyone loves, so it makes sense to do them in a big batch jug! This one will bring some New York class to any event.
11. Fizzy Fruit Punch
Here's a classic fruit punch that everyone needs in their back pocket if they often entertain at home. Make several jugs of cocktails though, as they always disappear faster than you think they will.
12. Hibiscus Mezcal Pitcher Cocktail
This one will please the cocktail enthusiasts. Mezcal has that delicious smoky flavor, and hibiscus has an unusual, elegant fragrance and taste. Make the hibiscus syrup in advance (it can stay in the fridge for a few weeks) and prep the glasses with a tajin rim to look super fancy.
13. Pomegranate Party Punch Recipe
Here's a great Christmas cocktail to serve a crowd, with such a vibrant pop of Christmas color. Dress your glasses ahead of time with some orange slices, pomegranate seeds, and mint, and then guests can just top themselves up as they enjoy the festivities.
14. Pitcher Margaritas
Who could forget a classic margarita? A basic but irresistible tequila cocktail made with lime juice, tequila, and grand mariner will get anyone into the party mood. And what's more, it is so easy to throw together.
15. Mulled Wine
And here's a classic Christmas cocktail to end the list of cocktail jug recipes. Mulled wine is a hot, comforting glass of wine steeped in spices and aromatic flavors like orange peel, cinnamon, and cloves. It's one of the best drinks for Christmas parties and always goes down well.
