If you are not a huge fan of hard alcoholic drinks, I am sure you would want to try some mixed drinks in a party. Find a list of these, with their recipes, described here.
Mixed drinks are simply defined as a mixture of neat alcohol and other ingredients. The only reason they are so well-known among people is because they display a beautiful blend of taste and color. To the common man, they are known as cocktails that can be served with alcohol (non-virgin) and mocktails, which are served without the alcohol (virgin).
