Party cocktails that keep the room moving

Party cocktails have to make sense in the real world. These are the drinks that are easiest to like, easiest to explain, and least likely to slow the room down, whether you are mixing one by one or keeping a few familiar options in play all night. Expect fruitier crowd-pleasers, recognizable spirit-and-mixer combinations, and a handful of later-night stronger options that still read clearly. Start here when the job is keeping the room moving, not showing off technique.
