Imagine yourself hosting a party with friends, you’ve got a few cocktail glasses and a couple bottles of liquor. You’re buddies say, “make me a drink” and what do you do? Many people will crack open a recipe book they might have collecting dust in the drawer and start looking to see if they’ve got all the ingredients to make something tasty.

The Problem?

You don’t know what tastes good and you don’t even know if some of the ingredients in the list are alcoholic, garnishes or simply used to enhance the color and taste! There is where Common Man Cocktails fits into the picture: we are here to make drinking fun and equip you with the recipes to impress your friends at parties. Everyday Drinkers: Common Man Cocktails is hosted by Derrick Schommer with camera and editing by his wife Jennifer Schommer. Common Man Cocktails is intended to demonstrate the creation of great cocktail recipes focusing on the “average joe.”

Although there are more professional ways to make a drink that require more time and dedication, many great cocktails can be made at home for fun without certifications and degrees. We’re showing the “everyday drinker” how to create some beautifully tasting concoctions. Enjoy!
