One of the best things about getting together with friends is having time to catch up and kick back, which makes playing bartender the last thing you want to do while hosting. What's so wonderful about these four cocktails is you can prep them ahead of time in mason jars, which lets the ingredients mingle together into seriously flavorful drinks. Pack and take these along while tailgating or display in a big bucket of ice at your next party.
