Jennifer Aniston wants to plan parties

Jennifer Aniston thinks she should have been a party planner.

The 41-year-old actress claims to be a great organiser and always knows which people from her different friendship groups to invite to her gatherings to provide the best atmosphere.

She said: "I should have been a party planner. I'm a good mixologist in terms of personality types. I do a tree trimming party every year- 15 years I've been doing this. At my tree-trimming party we always do chilli - turkey, regular beef, and vegetarian. Everybody is satisfied."

However, Jennifer's get-togethers don't always go according to plan, admitting sometimes the occasion can be spoiled by an intoxicated guest.

She told Allure magazine: "What ruins a party? A really drunk person. Trust me. It's happened."

The former 'Friends' star also claims her parties work well because she makes such good cocktails, even though she uses cheap ingredients.

She revealed: "I can make two drinks really well: a dirty martini and a Bloody Mary. People are like, 'You make the best Bloody Marys,' and my secret ingredient is basically Mr and Mrs T Bloody Mary Mix.

"It's not some fancy mix that they do with the horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. It's the 7-Eleven of Bloody Marys. It's the trashiest."

A Bloody Mary is made of vodka, tomato juice and other flavourings such as Worcester sauce or tabasco, while a dirty martini contains gin, vermouth, and olive juice.
