Whether you’ve got company coming over or you’re just craving something basic and boozy, one of these easy recipes will do the trick. We made the instructions and ingredients as pared down as possible so you can keep them in your back pocket for future entertaining endeavors—and if you already have some of these committed to memory, even better. We’d bet you can mix up most of them with what’s already on your bar cart (read: no egg white foam or blood orange reduction required).
