Let's Get Tipsy

Match your drink to your outfit! What a girly thing to do. What we drink describes a little part of us as it shows a tiny bit of our character and personality. Drinking champagne, you are elegant and chic; sipping a bellini, you are fun and outgoing; an espresso martini, you are bold; you work hard but play even harder. Drinking is a social event; who doesn't love a girls' night out, sitting at the bar looking mysterious and sexy, or just enjoying a drink after a long day with a couple of coworkers? Drinking would not be the same without the perfect outfit to complement your drink of choice. 

When it comes to girls' night out, the right drink in hand and the perfect outfit can set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Whether you're toasting to good times with your besties or enjoying a casual drink at a chic lounge, Clever Alice has everything you need to create stylish looks that complement your favorite trendy cocktails. Let’s dive into some iconic drinks, their recipes, and outfit inspiration to elevate your night out!

Lemon Drop Martini

A Lemon Drop is the epitome of sweet and sour sophistication. Do you resonate with being sweet with a touch of sour?  For the girl who always brings positive, uplifting energy but has no problem speaking her mind. Then this may be the drink for you. 

Pair this zesty drink with a bright yellow sweater or a silky slip dress to reflect its vibrant, citrusy vibe. Add gold accessories and strappy heels for a chic yet playful look.

Recipe:

• 2 oz vodka

• 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 1 oz simple syrup

• Sugar for rimming the glass

• Lemon wheel or twist for garnish

Combine vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Espresso Martini

Bold, smooth, and slightly edgy, the Espresso Martini is perfect for a night full of energy. The girl who is always overdressed loves being with her friends and works a little too much, but at the end of the day, she always has enough energy to be with her girlfriends with a helpful boost of caffeine.

 Channel the drink's dark and sultry vibe with a black leather skirt, brown lace, a fitted bodysuit, and heeled ankle boots. Top it off with a statement clutch and bold eyeliner.

Recipe:

• 2 oz vodka

• 1 oz espresso (freshly brewed and cooled)

• 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

• Coffee beans for garnish

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a few coffee beans.

Champagne

Nothing says celebration like a glass of bubbly. This is for the chic and elegant girl who knows how to party but is dizzy under all her glamour.  

Elevate your look to match the sophistication of Champagne. Think metallics, sequins, or a satin jumpsuit paired with delicate jewelry and heels. A faux fur stole adds a touch of old Hollywood glamour.

Recipe:

• Chilled Champagne or sparkling wine

• Optional: Add a splash of fruit puree or liqueur for a twist (e.g., Chambord or peach nectar)

Serve in a flute and enjoy.

Bellini

The Drink: This fruity and refreshing cocktail is a brunch favorite. For the corky, colorful fashionista that makes everyone in the group bust out in laughter.

Opt for the bohemian look: flowy blouses or skirts, pastel hues and floral prints, bright-colored sweaters, and corduroy pants. Add nude sandals and a straw bag for a breezy, feminine look.

Recipe:

• 2 oz peach puree

• 4 oz Prosecco or sparkling wine

Pour peach puree into a champagne flute and gently top with Prosecco. Stir lightly.

Dirty Martini

The Drink: Sophisticated with a touch of mystery, the Dirty Martini is for those who enjoy their cocktails boldly. This is for the man-eating type of girl, the girl who owns the room and always dresses to kill.

Go for sleek and polished. A tailored blazer dress or a fitted jumpsuit with pointed-toe pumps is the perfect pairing. Add a structured bag and bold earrings for a sharp, chic look.

Recipe:

• 2.5 oz vodka or gin

• 0.5 oz dry vermouth

• 0.5 oz olive brine

• Olives for garnish

Stir ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with olives on a cocktail pick.

Cosmopolitan (Cosmo)

The Drink: Flirty and fun, the Cosmo is a timeless classic for the girl who can talk with anyone and brings the group together while sticking to a very chic attire.

Match Cosmo's playful pink hue with a hot pink blazer, sweater, or a matching two-piece set. Accessorize with silver jewelry and stiletto heels for a vibrant, head-turning look.

Recipe:

• 1.5 oz vodka

• 1 oz cranberry juice

• 0.5 oz triple sec (e.g., Cointreau)

• 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

• Lime wheel or twist for garnish

Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime twist.
