What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.
4 parts clear spirit (vodka, tequila, or white rum)
2.5 parts fruit liqueur (orange, strawberry, or apricot)
3 parts dry white wine, sparkling wine, or beer
4 parts fruit juice
1.5 parts citrusy beverage (lemonade, limeade, or Tang)
Sliced fruit, for garnish.
Pour all ingredients into a large punch bowl, pitcher, or giant plastic tub. Stir to combine. Add two trays of ice cubes, or a large block of ice. Garnish with the sliced-fruit mix of your choice.
