40 funky retro recipes for drinks that sum up the upbeat, carefree and vibrant vibe of the disco era.

The upbeat, carefree and vibrant vibe of the disco era was something that allowed people a momentary reprieve from everyday life, and the fun bright drinks on offer where a huge part of that scene.

These so-called ‘disco drinks' are now making a comeback - defined as cocktails that visually interpret and sum up the spirit of that time, they boast bright colours, sweet flavours and amusing, sometimes outrageous and blush-inducing names!

Familiar classics such as Between the Sheets, Midori Sour, Blue Lagoon and Lychee Martini until recently seen as a bit ‘kitsch’ or passé are attracting a new following from a generation who don’t remember them from the first time round, as well as returning fans as the quality of ingredients used has improved in the intervening decades.

Revisit the iconic drinks you once loved or try fresh new concoctions inspired by this exciting emerging trend. From Murder on the Dancefloor to Thank Funk It’s Friday, these disco-inspired beverages will have you slipping into your boogie shoes in just a few delicious sips!
