I have been making cocktails for myself! Specifically, last weekend-ish, I cut up some stone fruits (nectarine and apricot) and set them soaking in vodka and sugar for cordial. Thus, some screwing around in the kitchen later, and we have:
A bit of orange juice concentrate. (I was raised on that, so I'm fine with it. Others may not be. I drink orange juice rarely enough that one thing of concentrate will do me for a while.)
Fizzy water.
Ice.
Some of the apricot-nectarine cordial.
In accordance with the name, it should be garnished with a preserved hibiscus flower, but I haven't tried it that way yet.
In the proportions I mix it, it is neither so strong nor so sweet as vodka-and-orange, but yet fruitier.
