For the last two cocktails we are taking our hosting skills to the top notch. As opposed to our early drink recipes, the last two combo both patriotism and a little bartending skill. Now of course they are still easy to make, but these are not make a head drinks and due to their stacked red, white and blue coloring will be made to serve. Not the best idea if you are hosting a large get together, but if you are having a more intimate gathering then these beautifully crafted cocktails are perfect to serve.
