Imagine a chilled pour of Smirnoff No.21 vodka in a cool long glass, with a few clinking chunks of ice, fizzing lemonade and a fresh-cut wedge of lime that gives off a zinging citrus scent. Or a serving of Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold with sweet and tart cloudy apple juice, and spicy muddled ginger in a tumbler. These are what good times are made of, and thebar.com is about the best experiences with the best spirits.

That's because we have mixed drinks and cocktail recipes for your party, celebration or event. You might have a few friends round, be planning a birthday celebration or dinner party, getting ready for Christmas feasting or just relaxing at home. But when you're making great food, why not mix some delicious cocktails to go with it? Or if you're stocking up for a party, get the best spirits and a mixer plus some fruit to garnish your cocktail. The classic cocktail recipes like Gordon's London Dry Gin and tonic, Smirnoff No.21 vodka and orange juice or Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold mojito never disappoint. Or step it up with great vodka cocktails such as a martini or Cosmopolitan. Don’t forget Christmas isn’t only about a great tree and presents either: it’s also the time for a great Hot Toddy or Eggnog to light up your party. Impress your guests with what you can mix, stir and shake – and learn how to do Christmas cocktails on thebar.com.
