We're having a party at our home this Friday night. I would like to have a recipe for one blender, boat type drink (Margarita, pina colada). I want to focus on making one, really good drink. Beer, wine and liquor will also be available.

I was leaning towards Pina Coladas strictly considering Margaritas are so, so abundant in Texas. That being said, I believe I can be a little more creative with Margaritas [add jalapeno (personal favorite), cilantro and pineapple, etc].

Any suggestions on Pina Colada vs. Margarita? Any other drink I'm forgetting?

More importantly, does anyone have a tremendous recipe for said drink?

This website has some cool tiki drink recipes, but not sure how creative you're willing to go. A lot of the recipes call for a variety of liquors. They look awesome though.

I'm a sucker for a banana/pineapple type of drink when going "beach drink" style.

Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne

Frozen mimosas spiked with grand marnier, frozen Bellini, frozen mojitos, Mai tai, hurricanes, or modify a margarita with the addition of fresh fruit (mango, strawberry, raspberry, kiwi, those options are endless but for the sake of everything holy, either juice fresh like or buy fresh lime juice and add sweetener yourself instead of buying mix)

Here are drink recipes done once a week on a radio in Houston dating back to 2011. It has "spit" or "swallow" ratings.

If you can get your hands on some Pat O'Brien's Hurricane Mix before Friday, they're easy and would be a hit.

My wife did an alcoholic frozen cherry lime-aid last year. I had made up several batches of bourbon cherries and had them in the fridge in mason jars. She took a smaller one, dumped it in, cherries and all, and added more bourbon to it. A handful of fresh limes squeezed in there, add ice, and blend. It wasn't your typical vodka/rum/tequila frozen drink, and the blended cherries turned out very well. Of course we have a Ninja, so there wasn't any bits of skin left.

When I have a party I make the Margarita liquid and put in a gallon jug. I then add ice to the blender and add the liquid, instant margarita.

Dump a small can of Limeade in a blender.
Fill limeade can 3/4 full with Tequila then the same amount of triple sec.
add 1/2 limeade can of dark rum.

pulse blend together then pour in gallon jug.
make several more batches.

How much money and effort are you willing to put in?

Hand made margaritas are typically, by far, the best crowd pleaser I have ever encountered.

But, you gotta put in the work. Quality liquor, and, most importantly, fresh squeezed limes. Don't even think about sour mix.
