1. Consider the Graduate’s Personality and Preferences

Your graduate is the star of the show, so their favorite flavors should take center stage. Do they love fruity and tropical vibes? A mango mojito or a pineapple basil cooler might be a hit. If they prefer something sophisticated, consider a classic like an Old Fashioned or a French 75.

2. Match the Theme of the Party

Is the party all glitz and glamour, a laid-back barbecue, or a quirky college-themed bash? The cocktail should fit right in. For a summer soirée, think refreshing spritzers or frozen cocktails. If it's a more formal event, opt for elegant choices like a sparkling champagne cocktail.

3. Keep Guests in Mind

While the signature cocktail can highlight the graduate's preferences, be sure to offer something versatile that your guests will enjoy as well. A customizable cocktail base, like a build-your-own margarita bar, could be a crowd-pleaser. Don’t forget to include a delicious mocktail version for non-drinkers.


4. Incorporate School Colors or Achievements

Celebrate school pride by incorporating the graduate’s college colors into the cocktail. For example, if their alma mater boasts blue and gold, a blueberry and lemon fizz might be just the thing. You could also name the drink after their degree or a favorite campus memory for a personal touch.
