Need some drink suggestions

[Hiltonmagk]

So I've been tasked with creating some special drinks for a party that some tax accountants are throwing on April 15th, and I thought where better to get ideas than Cyclone Fanatic. They'd like them to be somewhat fruity as most of the accountants are women. They want a shot and a drink. I'm heading to the bar this weekend to sample said drinks so any recipes or just drinks you know of would be great.

TIA

Bahama Mama a good chick drink. Malibu rum, half parts Orange/Pineapple juice (you can buy small cans of this combo), splash of grenadine, etc.

garnish with a cherry and a pineapple chunk.

Very tasty and pleasing to the eye. All about the visual

a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. It induces a feeling almost exactly like slamming yourself in the head with a thin slice of lemon... wrapped around a large gold brick.

My wife always preferred citrus-flavored, not too sweet. If it's hot she liked a good old Tom Collins but in recent years has had problems finding a bar that can make a good simple Tom Collins. Margaritas and gimlets can be fun.

I like Gin & Tonics and Mint Juleps this time of year. (OK I like G&T any time of the year )

Or if you (or they) like mint, some people like mojitos.

I do think that mojitos would be great but I guess I should have mentioned those would be drinks that we mix up a large batch of and dispense from a iced "jug". I think there will be a "bartender" but with only the bare staples and probably minimal tending experience. That's why they want a few special drinks that can be made up in bulk. Mojitos sound like a lot of work to get a large batch done up with all that mint to muddle. Or am I wrong? Not that experienced in the whole drinking arena.

Ginger beer and Deep Eddy Ruby Red (grapefruit vodka) is always good.

Long Islands are a nice drink that are sweeter but not over the top. Especially nice if the weather is decent for your party.

I tend bar on weekends, and sometimes I like to get creative. The most popular concoction that I've come up with I call 1.21 Jigawatts, obviously a Back to the Future reference. It's kind of a bomb/shot (Includes Red Bull), but it can be made as a regular drink in a pint glass also. It's citrus-y and delicious.

Bacardi Limon/Absolut Citron (depending on if you prefer rum or vodka)
Apple Pucker
Mountain Dew
Red Bull

Or a standard Moscow Mule for that matter. But I also enjoy them with grapefruit vodka.

Teguila Sunrise with some extra kick, maybe some vodka or rum or something. Call it the Cardiac Clone. A little cardinal, a little gold, and won't really hit you until the second half of the party.

Strip and Go Naked - Beer, Lemonade, and Vodka. Easy to produce mass quantities, dangerously delicious.

Are they Cyclone Fans? I drank a "Cyclone Rita" down in KC this weekend. I wasn't a huge fan but the women with me loved it.
1.25 oz Tres Agaves Tequila
.75 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Lime Sour
1 oz Orange Juice
Splash Grenadine
