My daughter’s having some friends over next week for some birthday drinks. These are her 4 closest pals and it makes my heart swell the love and bond they all share as she is an only child. They are the most loveliest, responsible mixed bag of young people I’ve ever met.

The man and I will be in the backyard with a bonfire going roasting spuds and marshmallows because I don’t feel comfortable about leaving them on their own considering 3 of them are slightly under the drinking age. (And yes, I do have permission from their parents).

Also I’ll be making them some cocktails but they will be a little on the weaker side. They won’t know that though.

Love that you’re creating a safe, respectful environment for your kid and friends, that’s really awesome.

  The good old fruit tingle is on the list! Cosmopolitans, illusions, tequila sunrise. Tbh they’ll probably only have 1 or 2 cocktails each and then stick to vodka & Solo.

I remember the first cocktail a friend’s parent made for me at 16, some Cream de Menthe abomination. I loved it

  Maybe a grasshopper?
  
  My first was a scotch & coke in a coffee mug made by my brother’s girlfriend at one of my siblings birthdays. I think I was 15.

    I love them. That’s my drink of choice when dinning out.

As responsible as you are you’re still allowed to bring up embarrassing childhood stories at the worst time.

  Of course. And I do.

I suggest Black Russians. They don’t taste like lolly water and you can dilute them quite a bit and still feel like you are drinking booze.

  Nawww.
  
  I never let any of them go home on their own. They either get picked up or I’ll take them home because safety is so important to me. In return they shower me with love.
  
  My kid will say “You can’t go home at this hour on the bus. My mother will have kittens”. 😂
