Popsugar Living Happy Hour Best Pitcher Drink Recipes 15 Pitcher-Perfect Cocktails For Breezy Bartending Duty 23 June 2018 by Emily Bibb Image Sources: POPSUGAR Photography / Anna Monette Roberts and POPSUGAR Photography / Susannah Chen Cocktails taste better when they're enjoyed with good company, but rather than craft a bunch of different beverages (I mean, who really wants to be stuck with bartending duty all party long?), make pitcher drinks like sangria, margaritas, and punch. All you have to do is make a large batch, and everyone gets a glass on demand. Hooray! Here are a few of our favourites, just in time for that pool party, BBQ, or whatever else you have planned for the weekend. — Additional reporting by Anna Monette Roberts Related: 33 Crave-Worthy Cocktails Made With 3 Ingredients (or Fewer!)
