Mason Jar Cocktails!

Fill your cooler with these cocktails in a jar!  Great for tailgating at the game or for your Superbowl party :)  No more mixing and measuring cocktails for guests, these drinks are ready for guests to grab so you can enjoy the party too!

  4. I love mason jars for berry lemonade! Adding frozen berries totally keeps the drink cold :)

  8. Brilliant! Love it! Combines two of my favorite things: cocktails and canning jars. This would require a lot of jars, but better than recyclable, they are reusable plus Ball jars are made in the USA so ya gotta feel good about that!

  12. How far in advance can you make and can the drinks? How long will they last if unopened? Just a rough estimate is good.
