Instead of going out, switch up your Friday night by having the girls over and being your own bartender! We love a good cocktail (and we’ve got the recipes to prove it), so consider this your Lulus guide to curating your own perfect happy hour menu. Whether you like to sip on something crisp and bubbly or sweet and fruity, we’ve been mixing up our take on\u00a0cocktail faves for years and we have just the drink to get your girls’ night going. Read on for a list of our top ten favorite cocktails from the Lulus blog and a couple of our favorite entertaining tips too!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Blackberry Bubbly Champagne Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

Our most recent cocktail recipe is quickly becoming one of our favorites! Super simple and with no additional tools necessary, this is the ultimate pour-and-sip drink for your next night in.<\/p>\n

Rose Royale Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

Lillet Rose might just be one of our best discoveries from the past year. Floral and refreshing, this aperitif adds an elevated\u00a0element to a standard juice and sparkling wine cocktail. Bonus:\u00a0the bottle will look gorgeous in the background of your Stories.<\/p>\n

La Fleurette Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

Arguably one of the prettiest cocktails we’ve ever concocted, the La Fleurette is ultimate girly #goals. If you can’t find gold-rimmed coupe glasses to serve it in, a standard Champagne flute will do just fine and still look stunning.<\/p>\n

Kir Royale Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

This classic French cocktail is super simple – just add creme de cassis to some sparkling wine and you’re set! Spruce it up with cute garnishes or trade the black currant liqueur for Chambord\u00a0to give it a raspberry twist.<\/p>\n

Blackberry Bramble Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

Savor every sip of this fall cocktail – creme de mure\u00a0can be a little bit pricey! It’s well worth it, though, as it gives this drink a luscious flavor and pretty, rich color. Special occasion or not, it’s absolutely something to pour when you feel like celebrating!<\/p>\n

The Bradshaw Cocktail<\/a><\/p>\n

Pay homage to the ultimate girl gang with a sweet and sassy cocktail based on the famous SatC<\/em> foursome and their love for Cosmos. Decidedly different from the original recipe (tequila takes the place of vodka, passionfruit subs for cranberry), this drink is no less worthy of a full night of gossip and girl talk.<\/p>\n

Floral Fros\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n

Feeling sad to see the sunshine go? Keep summer water firmly in your happy hour rotation with our delicious frozen ros\u00e9 recipe. Topped with St. Germain and a few pretty petals,\u00a0this drink will transport you to summer well into fall and winter.<\/p>\n

Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/a><\/p>\n

Embrace fall\u00a0aaaalllllll<\/em>\u00a0the way with this spiked take on the season’s most famous drink. Sweet and cozy, with or without the added rum and coffee liqueur, this beverage is\u00a0warm, delicious, and perfectly pumpkin-y.<\/p>\n

Watermelon Mint Margarita<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least, check out this refreshing margarita recipe from super chic blogger, Sivan Ayla<\/a>. Watermelon may be on its way out of season, but you can almost always find the pre-cut containers in the grocery store. This marg is definitely worth it!<\/p>\n\"39975800_520470555071860_1669944479155712070_n\"\n
