Drink Help!

Our Halloween party is tomorrow night and I've got everything ready except for the drinks. I can't figure out what drinks to make that will be crowd pleasers without having to purchase a ton of liquor. I have a handle of Bacardi rum and two handles of vodka left over from our wedding that I would love to use up as well as about 3/4 of a fifth of Malibu rum on hand. What are some of your favorite cocktail recipes that are easy to make in large quantities so I don't have to spend all night mixing drinks. Thanks Ladies!!

We make this every New Year's eve and it's a big hit... Pomegranate juice (we've also used pomegranate/cranberry juice), Champagne (or a sparkling wine), and the seeds of 1 pomegranate.  It's really yummy!

This is called Jungle Juice and it only has 3 ingredients. Rum, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice you can look up the recipe online I think there are a couple of variations. Very simple and very tasty.

This is what I was going to say. We used vodka in college too sometimes instead of rum.
