Hostess with the Mostess®

even with all the new & fancy cocktail recipes out there - I don’t think anything could ever beat a “regular” margarita on the rocks - with salt of course!

my fave is the striped tumbler with the lime wedge (bottom right of first photo set), but they are all cute!

typed too quickly. my fave girly cocktail would have to be mango margaritas, otherwise I’m a long-island iced tea girl, and most recently, mojitos.

Vodka + 7Up, garnished with limes!

I always love a good Mimosa!

Strawberry Daquiries (regular or virgin!) and Green Appletinis are my favorites.
Amy M.

Mimosa for me is the way to go. I’m not a nightlife person, so brunch drinks do the trick!

my favorite i’ve only had once. i was at a bar in times square and it was a couple of weeks before christmas. i believe the drink was called “rudolph the red nosed reindeer”…..hehe…cute name right? anyway, it tasted like cinnamon and apples….it was amazing! and one of those dangerous drinks too. too good to be alcoholic. mmmmm…too bad it was seasonal.

When I’m out it’s a mojito but it has to be a quality rum or a Long Island Iced Tea. I also love margaritas on the rocks, but then I found out how many calories there are. Yikes! I’ll stick with the Mojito from here on out.
When I’m home it’s simple like a rum and coke or Malibu Rum and Cranberry or vodka and Cranberry.

Lemon Drop Matinis all the way! They are super delicious, especially with a little sugar on the rim.

I love, a tart Pome-tini! They are fantastic, and pomegranite is suppose to be really good for you!

I love anything mango right now and I found a killer bar near my house that makes mangotinis. They also make a great pometini. I need to get recipies for both and make them at home.

oh man! talk about a cool barware!

If I trust the place or person making my drink to do it well, then I love margaritas. But my old standby is just bourbon with a tiny little bit of 7-up to cut the sharpness! mmmm…now I’m wishing that it wasn’t 9am and I could have one!

My favorite cocktail right now is a Pimms martini. I use two parts gin, 1 part pimms, and garnish with a cucumber slice. It’s jolly good.

I love “Magic” Mojitos! They’re made with cotton candy instead of regular sugar. Yum!

Wow! What vivacious glassware! Love everything! Well, I don’t get to drink too much right now with a 4 month old, but my favorite drink is a classic…margarita on the rocks. Okay, is it bad that it is 6 a.m. and I am now craving a margarita?
LOL…

(I started a Pick Me Giveaway series this week. Giving things away is so fun:)

I LOVE limoncello mixed with seltzer water…SO fresh!! And I LOVE CocktailVibe—I’d be the most popular hostess for miles around!

My favorite martini is the capriani (not sure I spelled that right) but it is a delicious twist with tons of lime, sugar, and mint. So refreshing and would EXCELLENT in that glassware! Pick me!

I would have to say that depending on the bartender… I love a good dirty martini… but will sometimes fall back on a gin and tangueray with extra lime…. and if I have too much fun over those- a bloody mary for brunch the next day…

what lovely pieces… all of them!

Oh, girl, I could rock a razzmopolitan right about now. Except for the fact that it’s not even 10 am. Detail, details…

Anything with kahlua in it..*S*

Hands down it’s the Journeyman. A signature drink from one of the awesome bartenders at Saddles steakhouse in Sonoma. Two parts Grey Goose, two parts Patron, and one part sweet and sour. Sounds scary but it’s super super yummy!!

Strawberry margarita all the way!

I’ve never gotten too exotic in my cocktail choices - I’ll usually just order a Cape Cod or a Screwdriver or a Midori Sour, etc. However, my new husband’s family is Brazilian and I’ve recently been introduced to the delicious (but potent) caipirinha.

Margarita, summer slush or B-52 - delish!

Mojitos. I made my first one this summer and have been addicted ever since. Well, I mean, I don’t think I have a drinking problem. I just like them.

i’m fairly classic when it comes to cocktails, let the quality of the spirit speak for itself. martini all the way. if i’m feeling crazy, add a twist. i love mojitos, too, but only if i’m ACTUALLY in Cuba.

I love Vodka lemonades and margaritas with extra salt! Mmmm…will have to go to happy hour today.

Oh wow, I simply must have those cocktail shakers! I love classic barware with a modern twist.

My current favorite drink is a Dark N Stormy (ginger beer and dark rum), but I also enjoy mojitos, margaritas, and sidecars (although it’s hard to find a properly made sidecar…)

I just had a Singapore Sling the other evening and loved it!!! On the cocktail menu was Thug Passion. I’m trying that one next.

Ilove a good margarita with salt on the rim.
Especially on a nice warm day.

I can’t pick a favorite cocktail - though I do second whoever said you can’t go wrong with a classic margarita - but when I’m out and about, I love opting for any drink that’s pink.

what fun stuff… time for a party.

Mmmm…Mojitos are definitely my drink of choice. I recently had a Pomegranate Vojito at a restaurant. Correction, I had THREE. They were so yummy!

Depending on the time of day, my favorite would either be an extra spicy bloody mary (before noon) or a classic “on the rocks” margarita (after noon). Either way…YUM!

Definitely a Vodka Sour with a splash of soda water to give it some fizz.

Most definitely a rasberry mojito, which would look twice as delicious in that tall bubble glass!

I could really go for a cocktail right about now…

I had my favorite drink on our honeymoon in Las Vegas, it was the Bellagio cocktail. So good. Not sure what was in it, but went back to get more several times.

One of my all time favorite drinks is the watermelon mojito at Katsuya in LA. Served with a big piece of watermelon and a cucumber. Yum!

There are two very hot trends in cocktails today, as far as I’m concerned….Fresh made Mojitos, and ANYTHING Pomegranate!!

My fav right now is a Pomegranate cosmo… yummmy!

i just LOVE margaritas. my favorite is the mango tequila flavored one, with real mango chunks crushed with the ice. and rimmed with chili pepper powder and a little bit of salt. ohhh now i must have one!!!

Bellinis!

I got addicted to this martini in college called hot kiss. It’s a spicy, apple-flavored martini of sorts that you can get at Martini’s cocktail lounge on the riverfront in Peoria, Ill.

I really love margaritas… does that count as a cocktail? It does to me!

I’m a simple type of gal, cran-vodka please!

I love a good Vodka Tonic.
But I have a fool proof recipe for Margaritas that I love to astound my guest with.

I love making cocktails with my own infused vodkas and fresh juices. Nothing beats mojitos made with fresh watermelon juice or a martini made with earl grey tea infused vodka.
Im still a sucker for a shirley temple though! They remind me of going out to dinner with my Gran and having a fancy drink!

Such fabulous wears!

At home we stick to wine and homebrew, out on the town I’m a mojito gal as well!

I can’t believe the extensive collection offered by Cocktail Vibe!
I love Midori Sours and my favorite Mexican restaurant serves a fabulous Midori Margarita!

I love making sangrias!

these are fabulous!

I just recently tried a blueberry vodka lemonade that was delicious! I am also a huge fan of bloody marys and mimosas.

I love the caiparinha- although I’m sure I just massacred the spelling! It’s sort of like a mojito but more lime-y and delicious! I’m also a big vodka martini fan, 2 olives please!

Margarita’s on the rocks are my fav!

i usually go for jack and diet coke

Pomegranate martinis, of course! I always feel so glamorous sipping these tasty ‘tinis at my favorite lounge.

Blended margaritas such as strawberry or other exotic flavors like Watermelon or Mango are my favorites.

I’m a tried n’ true gin & tonic gal. Extra lime, please…

Sake is always nice… And for a twist: a sake-melon-tini is fab (sweet sake, midori & voddy). Dangerous, but lovely!

I have to admit that my cocktail of choice is the ever-complicated MOJITO!!!

-Amy

Guess I’m not alone in loving margaritas. I don’t even drink, but there are margarita and champagne exceptions — the two things even a non-drinker can’t resist!

I’d love to pour my delicious mojitos into any of these gorgeous glasses. I hope I win! I could use some fabulous stemware in my new place.

- L. Fox

I make a great dirty martini (with extra dirty!) and I’d love to make it in any of CocktailVibe’s fabulous shakers. *crosses fingers*

- Laura Jeanette

I love a great cranberry vodka and these glasses are absolutely stunning! I hope I win!

- Kim F.

I don’t really have an ultimate favorite however if I were to have to choose I would say a peartini!! they are so unbelievably delicious!!

I adore the Vienna Flutes! I *need* these to serve my signature Pomegranate Bellinis

I already put my cart together! I’d serve champagne with chocolate-dipped strawberries in the fabulous flutes I picked out!

- Lola

depends…
for parties at home i like to make big batches of moscow mules (vodka, ginger beer, and lime).
i love a good dirty vodka martini but only from a bartender i know i can trust to do it right.
at ye olde watering hole and beer can museum in northampton, mass it’s always a madras. (they keep bowls of citrus in the refrigerator behind the bar and fresh squeeze every drink.)
anywhere else i go with a vodka & soda with a splash of cranberry and a slice of lime. just a hint of sweetness and you can’t beat that lovely light pink.

oooooh - I would love a shopping spree at this site.

Helps if I post my drink - I fell in love with butterscotch martinis at a conference!

I love a virgin Pina Colada! And this line is too yummy!

Champagne, passion fruit puree, and a touch of chambord. Sassy Fun!
I also love a Lychee Martini!

My favorite cocktail: half limoncello, half prosecco. add a small scoop of lemon sorbet. serve in a martina glass! Amanda K.

My favorite cocktail - Raspberry Mojito!

I just turned 21 this past weekend, so I haven’t really gotten to have too many cocktails. But, I had a berry mojito and it was yummy!!!

The only thing i know how to make is a margarita

Yum! And what an awesome prize! I’m a strawberry margarita girl.

My all time favorite drink is Gin (Beefeaters, please) and tonic with lime and a lot of ice, but when I’m out I’m a sucker for a Mojito, love ‘em!

Ha! I don’t drink. I’ve never touched a drop of alcohol, but I’d like to win for some of their home decor items. Do I still qualify?

I love a nice dirty martini from time to time.

What a fun contest!! My favorite drink ever has got to be a lycheetini from Cafe Asia. SO yummy, especially the alcohol-soaked lychees at the bottom.

I’ve been having some super tasty pear vodka martinis lately thanks for Absolut’s new pear flavored option. You can mix it with just about anything fruity and garnish it with a fresh slice of pear and voila! I hope I with the giveaway and get to sip my pear vodka in some awesome new glasses! -Diana H.

this contest is making my mouth water…

mimosas and white chocolate marini’s are my fav!

Pisco Sours! They are a huge hit in Peru and Chile, and their frothy lemony goodness can’t be beat!

I love a good gin and tonic but when I’m out and don’t feel like drinking, I mix sugar-free red bull with a splash of cranberry juice, lime and orange slices for a yummy, fizzy psuedo-sangria. Everyone thinks I’m drinking when all I’ve got is juice!

K, so I don’t drink, but virgin margaritas are delish!

Margarita on the rocks with salt, please! But, if I had some of these really cool glasses I might be tempted to try something new!

I enjoy a Martini that is 5 parts Gin to one part Dry Vermouth and garnished with a single olive.

I also enjoy a Manhattan made with a tasty Rye.

A woo-woo. I had it for the first time when someone ordered it for me, and I absolutely loved it!

I haven’t experienced a wide variety, but I love chocolate martinis. And last week I had a s’mores martini that was pretty incredible! (Though at home, the only drink I mix is chocolate milk!)

Gin & Tonic with lots of ice and several slices of lime. A summer favorite which I drink all year long. (to get through the Canadian winter!)

SO many cocktails to love - I guess my favorite would be a GOOD mojito - that means no mix, you have to make it from scratch for it to be good! HOpe I win!!!!

I’ll take a shot of Grey Goose or two in one of those cute test tube shot glasses! I love it!

Miss Fox

Flirtini- sweet, with champagne and sugar on the rim

My favourite drink since a long time is Shōchū (a distilled alcoholic beverage from Japan, often made from rice) with milk. But you can also use Gin, if Shochu isn’t available. I really like the combination of the mellow and a bit sweet taste of the milk, combined with the distinctive yet soft bitterness of the alcohol.

Johanna Foehre

I love frou frou tropical drinks, especially if they come in a coconut…

I have two favorite margaritas that I absolutely love!

One is called Tropical sunrise…it is beautiful layered with blue on the top, yellow in the middle, & red at the bottom. It is made with sauza hornitos tequila, midori melon liquor, pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine…a refreshing orange taste to it!

The other one is called Chambord 1800…made with 1800 reposado tequila, cointreau and chambord rasberry liqueur…a perfect mix of a sweet & sour taste that everyone will enjoy!

Cheers!

There’s a bar in Austin (where I live) called the Paggi House that uses fresh citrus, when I’m there I can’t resist a fresh grapefruit and grey goose. They also make a killer Mojito.

I love cocktail parties nearly as much as I love a good wedding. My current favorite potion:
Sparkling wine stirred with a fresh vanilla bean. Yum.

Absolutely positively wow! The fun colors and great graphics make them barware show stoppers. My current favorite drink is the mojito (when i drink) but how cute would a yogurt parfait or individual seven layer dip be in those martini glasses!!!

Love it!!!

I think I probably experiment with cocktails so picking a favorite it rough. My alltime favorite classic is the white russian. But I’ve recently been experimenting with white sangrias - one with peaches, orange juice, white wine, sparkling soda and a splash of peach schnapps - it’s become our refreshing post-work drink after a long day!

Strawberry daquiris! Preferably while sunbathing on a lounge chair at a swanky hotel pool

What a great selection of barware! I’ve never seen so many fun patterns for glasses! Favorite cocktails…hmmm…so many to choose from. I think I’d have to go with a Woo-Woo or a Raspberry Collins though. And favorite mocktail: Freckled Strawberry Lemonade!

I Love a frozen margarita with salt on the rim from Logans Roadhouse.

Amy

my favorite cocktail? Gin & tonic with a lime wedge. Classic and crisp. Since it is my birthday today??? I am goign to have a few!!!

My favorite summer drink is blueberry stoli with lemonade…

Ang
angsweeney@yahoo.com

Greyhound is still my classic fav.

This glassware is gorgeous - what a fantastic giveaway! My favorite drink lately has to be frozen peach daiquiri. Grab a couple of the neighbors, whip up a pitcher-full and enjoy them out on our back porch!
Kari

Wow, these are awesome glasses. Unfortunately, I do not know how to make my favorite cocktail - a Chocolate Monkey - but if I did, I would drink it in one of these.

Oh they have great stuff! I’d love to win. My favorite cocktail to whip up is a Sex Kitten - vanilla vodka, tonic, maraschino cherries, and a dribble of the juice from the cherries. Very sexy!

My ultimate favorite drink would be malibu rhum and pinapple juice. Served shaken, not stirred. Not to mention in the beautiful Galaxy Martini Glass. What class!

oh - my favorite is a sidecar or a grape nee-hi

I love making drinks at home and for guests. My favorite martini is a French Martini. I use Chamboard, Grand Marnier, Pinapple Juice, and Vodka! Yummm!

I love to make daquiris and specialty frufru martinis at home. What can I say, fru fru just tases good!

Razberi or Cranberi Stoli and 7Up! Sweet, but not too syrupy where you get a stomach ache after more than one. Go down too easy sometimes, though

oh,lovely pina colada, you are my favorite drink…you remind me of my wonderful honeymoon in Mexico…Love to have cute glasses to drink you in!

I”m a mocktailer.. no alchohol for me, and I love the basic strawberry daquiri! This stuff is beautiful!

raspberry martini

mmmmmmmmm

I love an appletini!
Very refreshing and delicious

I make a killer apple pie margarita. With a cinnamon and sugar rim! Love!

I’m still really loving mojitos - they’re so refreshing. Obviously great when it’s warm out, but I can even appreciate them on cooler days!

I’m a fan of Midori Sours or anything else with melon liqour.

I’ll take a margarita in the vienna rocks glass please!

I love Mojitos and bellinis! The oh so chic glasses from CocktailVibe will have me sippin’ in style!

I am still into mojitos–I get the mint from our backyard!

A local restaurant near me has the most AMAZING Lemon Cheescake Martinis! SO amazing!!

Caipirinha - best tasting, most potent cocktail ever.

Cachaça+limes+sugar= delicious

westy
Love those Tuscan lemontinis!
Lemon/mint iced tea w/lemoncello.

I like having a Long Island Iced Tea in the summer, and something I haven’t had in a while is a Cherry Vodka Sour.

I’m definitely loving mojitos. Not only are they cool and refreshing, but they are great with and without rum, so I can drink them each day without guilt. Plus they look so pretty in a variety of classes, with the subtle green color of the limes and mint leaves. It also helps that mint grows like a weed, and I have a ton of it growing in my garden. Can’t let it go to waste, right?

I love khaula and cream. It’s really strange, since I’m not a big fan of coffer or milk. However, I find myself really craving this drink, must be all the sugar! I am also a big fan of any type of daiquiri. You find that you really miss those frozen drinks when you go somewhere like Paris and they don’t know what a frozen daquiri is!

I am definately a non-cocktail person. I am a more of a juice person. I love pomegrant juice.

cape cods are probably my favorite cocktail, both in the bars and at home - just cranberry juice, vodka and a twist of lime. a vodka tonic or mojito would be a close 2nd… especially if i’m wearing something that could be stained by the cranberry!

normally i dislike olives - but i just looove a good dirty vodka martini which would be even more fabulous in that glassware!

I don’t like anything too sweet, so my favorite cocktail, especially in the summer, is a Salty Dog. It’s vodka and grapefruit juice with a salted rim. Yum! LOVE the Cocktail Vibe web site — how fun!! Would love, love, love to win some fun things from there!

soo many!!! but the classics are the classics…can’t ever go wrong with a regular margarita on the rocks!!! Yum!!!

my favorite cocktail of the moment is mojitos. they are so fresh and crisp. fresh lime is one of my favorite flavors ever!!!! how great would those flecks of green mint look in one of those great cocktail glasses!!

Just one? I have to pick just one? Uh … man, that is hard! I mean, there’s Manhattan, Vodka Martini, Mojito, Cosmopolitan … the list could go on and on.

But I have to say that the best one I have ever tasted was an Old Cuban at hotel Skt Petri in Copenhagen. An Old Cuban is a Mojito that is topped off with champagne. Here’s the recipe:
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce simple syrup
1 1/2 ounce rum (Bacardi 8 Anejo)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
6 mint leaves
2 ounces champagne (Veuve Clicquot)

The only word for it? Heaven!

Cuban mojito is my personal fave. It’s sooo sweet - just what I with my sweet tooth crave

callmeabookworm at gmail dot com

I love apple martini but can’t say no to simple vodka and cranberry juice. Hurricane also is one of my fave as it brings back wonderful memories from New Orleans I share with my husband when we were dating.

7&7 is the devil.

I love Washington Appple’s! Such a girly drink, but it was my first drink in Las Vegas so it has a special place in my heart I’d love to win!

- Jeanette F.

Ooh my favorite cocktail is definitely an extra dirty vodka martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives…yum! Love the stuff CocktailVibe has to offer - very unique.

I can’t really pick a favourite. Maybe margaritas, although I don’t order them when I’m out because they’re usually too sweet.

I do mojitos at the Cuban in town,or from my garden when the mint is growing. Or a dark and stormy…Bermudian ginger soda and Goslings dark rum. Mujib makes the best ones at Zoey’s….a pretty glass is good, but I can do with a coffee mug if I have to.

A caipirinha in their site’s gorgeous Paris High Ball glass would suit me just fine! yum!

Love the champagne glasses . . . all of their products are SO pretty. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love strawberry margaritas. They’re my favorite!

localgirl133[at]yahoo[dot]com

Nothing beats a good dirty martini. Extra olives please!!!

I love virgin strawberry daiquiris! I wish I could have them ready made for me EVERY day!

Margaritas and Dirty Martinis are my favs.

A colorful mango margarita with freshly sliced mangoes and a spring of mint on the side! J’adore!

Elle Foxy

What a fun giveaway!

My most favorite drink in the world is an Amaretto Sour! I love the sour mix…

My Fave is a Bloody Mary classic yet the taste varies depending on what part of the country you are in.

I am not really an alcohol drinker. I do like the orange juice and sparkling wine.
And I love the combination of ice tea and lemonade and Arnold Palmer.
I went to Trader Joe’s to get the Tea and Lemonade combo they sell as a special treat for my b-day (9/10).

I don’t drink alcohol, but I do like the mock margaritas… no booze in them. Works for me.

I blogged this contest at: Wednesday Edition of Contests Galore

Irish coffee!

WOWWY! I am loving the free giveaways! The colored glass is to die for. Love the fun designs!

My fave is a Dirty Gin Martini. 3 olives please!

margaritas and an irish cocktail

I love those mojitos and sangrias!

I can’t ever go wrong with an apple martini!

mojitos and fruity martinis… mmmmmm all I need to spend a fabulous night with the girls!!

Margaritas!

Oh man…just one fave? I guess my pick would be a Singapore Sling! Or maybe a Banana Daquiri…

Nothing beats Blue Hawaiian! Or anything that has coconut milk in it! Yum-O!!!

Strawberry Daquiri

jasonncaryn [at] yahoo [dot] com

I love, love, love mojitos and cosmopolitans, but not together. Vodka martinis are another favorite, but with four olives (I like to have a little snack).

My favorite drink at the moment is Stoli Raz with soda water, splash of cran and a lime. Yum!

vodka and soda with a twist of lime
light light light

Mmmm cocktails. Did you know the martini was first created so that a women could order a glass of straight alcohol without breaking the rules of decorum?

As for my faves, I love anything tangy and sweet but not syrupy-sweet. Gin and tonics and kamikazes, for example.

Chocolate martinis are my absolute favorite! I would LOVE to win this contest….thanks!

I’m in love with the peach belini - little white peach juice and a lot of champagne - great any time of day or night.
