Moreover, you don’t need to have any intricate kitchenware to make these hassle-free cocktails. Here are some of the super-easy cocktail recipes for beginners and just about anyone.

• Cape Codder
  Some proclaim this is simple yet delicious. The cocktail comprises vodka and cranberry. The best part is that this super simple cocktail recipe can be easily played around to make other interesting mixes. The base is always mixing vodka and cranberry juice. You can add pineapple juice to make the Bay Breeze or some grapefruit for Sea Breeze. Adding a bit of orange juice will transform your Cape Codder to Madras, another fun and easy cocktail!
• Daiquiri
  This is one of the most versatile and easy cocktail recipes for beginners. Moreover, it barely costs much. All you need are a few easy-to-find ingredients—lime juice, syrup, and rum. This is the OG daiquiri. If you need to add a twist, add your favorite fruit to make any decadent-flavored daiquiri. You can add bananas to the blender for a banana daiquiri. Or add frozen or fresh strawberries or any berries.
• Gin and Tonic
  When you want to put in zero efforts, a simple gin and tonic is the way to go. Also, it doesn’t cost much. But if you’re going to be indulgent, get a high-end brand of gin. To make this, you just need to mix some gin with tonic water. If you have some fruit juice in the refrigerator, pour in some of that to make your favorite flavored gin and tonic. Strawberry-flavored gin and tonic is quite popular, among others.
• Manhattan
  Making a Manhattan may seem like a lot of hassle. But trust us, it is one of the easiest cocktail recipes for beginners. The list of ingredients may look overwhelming, but making this snooty New Yorker drink is a breeze. All you need is some rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters. Bourbon and Canadian Club can also be used instead of rye whiskey. Make sure to serve it in a chilled coupe.
• Old Fashioned
  This is a classy cocktail to make at home, known to be punchy and super smooth. You just need three to four ingredients to make this sophisticated drink. Some also called it a whiskey cocktail. To make a classic old fashioned cocktail recipe, all you need is to melt light brown sugar with water. Mix the sugar, a dash of Angostura bitters, and ice cubes. Pour over some rye whiskey and bourbon, and you’re sorted!
• Tequila Sunrise
  This basic cocktail has absolute summer vibes. Mix some grenadine with freshly squeezed orange juice. You will easily get a bottle of grenadine at the supermarket. If you don’t have fresh OJ, bottled orange juice works well too. Also, you can switch orange for grapefruit to make a tart Ruby Rum sunrise.
