Today we are featuring iSi's Twist'n'Sparkle beverage carbonation system and mixing some virtual cocktails at the Daily Grommet HQ (all in the name of product testing of course). So, in the spirit of today's Grommet, we turned to Twitter and asked some of our favorite party hostesses what cocktails they like to mix up after a long day's work or when they gather with friends.
@HWTM_Jenn: A French Martini! Garnish with lemon peel twist or pineapple leaf.
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/4 oz Chambord® Raspberry Liqueur
1/4 oz fresh pineapple juice
Shake with ice and pour into a cocktail or martini glass.

@ABCDdesigns: A Frozen Vodka Slush. Prepare this recipe a day or two in advance so the slush can freeze and be extra delicious when served.
Ingredients: 8 cups water, 3 cups white sugar, juice of 2 lemons, juice of 2 oranges, one 48oz can of pineapple juice, one 12oz can frozen Minute Maid grapefruit juice, one 12oz can of frozen Minute Maid lemonade, 26oz Vodka (I prefer Ketel One)
- Pour 1 large measure of gin in a highball glass followed by 1 small measure of lemon juice and a hint of simple syrup.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes
- Top with soda water
- Mix the ingredients with the spoon
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. If you want, add a lemon slice to the garnish.

I love discovering new cocktails to mix up and these are so fabulous! We're so flattered to be among such super Hip Hostesses!
Hello!
Thank you ever-so-much for reaching out to me and including one of my favorite cocktail recipes on the Daily Grommet! All of these drinks look completely delicious, I can't wait to try them out while entertaining this summer.
Tori, I see you linked to my tumblr - and that is right because I have been having some blog issues lately, but I think I am up and running again at ABCD Design: www.abcddesign.com
Thanks again for including ABCD!

These drinks sound fabulous for summer entertaining. This makes me want to shake one of the drinks up, style myself pretty, and invite some friends over for a Summer Soiree. Thank you for sharing with us! Cheers, to new and old twitter friends! @ChicoStylist
Thank you ladies for sharing such great sipping ideas! Amy, I changed the link and am happy to hear your lovely website is back in business!
Thanks so much for including me! All of these drinks look fantastic... too bad we can't have a big cocktail party and enjoy them together... I'd love to toast with everyone here :)
P.S. Definitely going to have to try the frozen vodka slush soon with the weather heating up already!
Such great recipes! Sorry we missed your tweet for a round of drinks from your fav hostess'! These days I am loving dark chocolate and can't get enough of it! Here is a recipe I created for a special New Year's dessert party:
Chocolate Haze
2.5 oz. Grey Goose vanilla vodka
2.5 oz. Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
1 oz. butterscotch schnapps
1 oz. Godiva chocolate liqueur
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, Grey Goose vanilla vodka, Frangelico hazelnut
liqueur, and butterscotch schnapps, then shake. Strain into an 8 oz. chilled
martini glass. Then, slowly pour the Godiva chocolate liqueur down the center to
create the chocolate haze.
Also, I'm working on making a 'Captain Crunkberry' recipe which I will share when I've got the perfect mix! Is there a DDR party in the future? LOL. I can feel the aches already!
Cheers,
Chef Lea McIntosh
