HOW TO SERVE F*ck It Bucket Cocktail

Serve this drink in clear cups so the color shows. Add a slice of lemon or lime to each cup. Use a small ladle or a cup to pour from the bucket. Tell guests the drink is strong and to sip slowly. Offer water and ice on the side. You can also offer a non-alcoholic warm option, like boost your wellness ginger turmeric immunity tea, for guests who want a warm break between drinks.

STORAGE & FREEZING : F*ck It Bucket Cocktail

This drink is best fresh. If you have leftovers, move them to a sealed pitcher and keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The soda will lose fizz over time. Do not freeze this drink with soda in it. If you want a slushy version later, pour the mix without soda into ice cube trays and freeze. When you are ready, blend the frozen cubes with fresh lemon-lime soda to make a slush.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• Offer small cups so people drink slowly.
• Add a few fresh mint sprigs for aroma.
• Place bowls of cut fruit nearby so guests can add more garnish.
• Keep a jug of water close for people to hydrate.
• For a lighter option, mix equal parts of the bucket drink and club soda in a cup to cut the strength. Pairing the drink with a warm, mildly spiced tea can calm the heat; a good match is the ginger turmeric tea for a non-alcohol side.

VARIATIONS

• Fruity Bucket: Add pineapple juice or orange juice for a tropical twist.
• Citrus Boost: Use extra lemon and lime slices and a splash of fresh lime juice.
• Spicy Kick: Add a few slices of jalapeño in the bucket for a mild heat.
• Light Version: Use half the liquor and add more soda and fruit juice.
• Frozen Bucket: Freeze parts of the mix without soda and blend with soda before serving.
