Awesome, time to unwind, maybe have a drink. Beer? Wine? Cocktail? Mocktail? What's your normal drink order?

btw I swear that the last one is really a beautiful purple, I just couldn't get it to behave in with my lights to get it to take a good picture :P

I used to make frozen "Strawberry Mockaritas" for the kids.

Can you tell me the names of the cocktails in the photo?

The one next to the right looks to have blue curacao as an ingredient.

Sure, with some liberty taken
Right to left left to right
French Kiss - kinda? - minus the crème de cacao and cream, and mixed the vodka with x-rated fusion, still floated the chambord at the bottom
Tequila Sunrise
Sapphire Sin
No idea what to call this, but its kiwi, ginger simple syrup, spearmint, and tequila
Pacific Sunshine
Purple Haze

Edit: wow...just wow...in my defense I had to be at work at 4 am, and no, I haven't started drinking

I swapped the sour mix for s.s. and lemon juice (3/4oz each). The store bought stuff winds up being $$$ and not nearly as good quality

Realized I didn't even answer my own question...
Bubbles. For anything and everything, by far my favorite drink. Champagne on its own is occasion enough for champagne
To mix it up I do love a good gin and tonic, esp when its with Hendrick's and cucumber for garnish though
