While everyone is hanging out and chatting, one person will make their drink and bring out a cup for each person to try. After tasting, each person should score the drink on a piece of paper, then the next will begin to create their drink. Repeat the process until everyone has gone. The host should count all votes and name the best drink at the end. All participants should drink responsibly.<\/span><\/p>\n Game night.<\/b> Have each person bring a game to the party and play each one by one. Let the winner of the last game pick the next game.
