There is no wrong time of year for a party. In the summer, you could have a pool party or a Disney birthday party (with sneaky cocktails from the adults, of course!); in the fall, you could have a Halloween or pre Thanksgiving themed party, In the wintertime, you could have a Harry Potter or Christmas party, and in the spring you could have a Spring Fling!

No matter what kind of party you’re having, no matter what the theme, there is a cocktail for every occasion. We have put together a list of the ten best themed cocktails for your next event- that is one step of the party planning process that you don’t have to worry about!

Butterbeer
Harry Potter fans are passionate about everything to do with the wonderful world of Potter. No Harry Potter-themed party would be complete without the most well-known drink from the books and movies, a warm and satisfying mug of butterbeer! Now we know that this version might be a little boozier than what they serve in The Three Broomsticks, but you can make it a mocktail if you prefer. This is definitely a drink for the winter as it is served warm.

Recipe (serves 6)

6-8 tablespoons butterscotch sauce (depending on how sweet you like it)

3 cups apple cider

1 cup bourbon whiskey (optional)

2 cups ginger beer

Whipped cream for garnish

Method

Heat up the cider, bourbon, and butterscotch on the stove until all the syrup has dissolved into the mixture and it’s steaming. Remove from the stove and stir in the ginger beer. Ladle into glass mugs and serve with whipped cream.


Felix Felicis
Another Harry Potter-themed cocktail that will be sure to increase your luck is Felix Felicis. Potion making is an exact art, so be sure to take special care when measuring your ingredients. Remember, a little luck goes a long way!

Recipe (serves 1)

1/4 oz simple syrup

1/4 oz lemon juice

1.5 oz ginger beer

Champagne or other sparkling wine

Method

Muddle the syrup and lemon juice in the bottom of a champagne glass. Pour the ginger beer, then champagne over syrup mixture and garnish with lemon rind.


Tardis-tini
This one is for the Dr Who fans out there. Though the show and the Dr have gone through many iterations, one thing has always been there: the Tardis! Did you know that Tardis actually stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space? Wow your guests with a bright blue martini-style drink!

Recipe (serves 1)

2 oz Hpnotiq

1 oz crème de violette

¾ vodka

½ oz blue curacao

½ tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup simple syrup

2 ounces Irish whiskey

1 drop of green food coloring

Howling Wookie
Star Wars is such a classic theme, and it makes throwing a party so simple. There are so many costume ideas that your guests will have no excuse not to come dressed up, and there’s no shortage of inspiration for food and drinks either.

1 oz eggnog liqueur

3 oz almond milk

Cinnamon to garnish

Method

Mix all ingredients and serve over ice. Don’t forget to garnish with cinnamon.
