A theme I’d not given much thought to before was the subject of this year’s NYE Party. First question: do you go as an actual cocktail, or the literal translation of the name? For the pun costumes, you need to pick those which people might actually have heard of.? While there probably is a cocktail representative of a cheerleader, no-one will have heard of it so you’ll lose the punch (if you’ll pardon the pun). So, below is a list of those which we came up with.
Barbarella – Barbarella
Black Russian – Black Russian outfit
Black Widow – Black spider costume
Bloody Mary –Bloodied nativity costume with doll baby Jesus
Blue Hawaiian – Hawaiian outfit in blue
Bridesmaid Cooler – Bridesmaid wearing sunglasses
Chocolate Sailor – Sailor outfit with lots of chocolates
Cockney Champagne – Pearly King with a champagne badge
Eggnog – Noggin the Nog (Viking) with lots of Kinder Eggs or similar
Fallen Angel – Evil angel costume
Mai Tai – Wear a tie with the label ‘this tie is the property of [your name]’
Manhattan – Man with a hat on
Mexican Chocolate – Mexican with lots of chocolate
Naked Twister – Wear a Twister mat and little else
Pina Colada – wear a colander with attached penises
Shandy – Sandy from Grease but pissed
Shirley Temple – Shirley Temple
Strawberry Bandit -Typical burglar costume but in red with a green mask/hat
Strawberry Flapper – Flapper costume with attached strawberries
White Russian – White Russian outfit
