10+ Easy Cocktails to Make for Happy Hour at Home

We’re adding an extra H to Happy Hour this week as we make our favorite cocktails for happy hour at home.

Just because all of our favorite cocktail bars are closed right now doesn’t mean we can’t still have happy hour. In fact, we’ve been doing a weekly video conference happy hour with our fellow bloggers.

Right now isn’t a time to stop connecting with people over a cocktail or glass of wine. You just have to make them yourself. We’ve put together a list of our favorite cocktail recipes so it’s easier for you to find something fun to make.
