Today is all about our key tips to make any cocktail party a success!
Have a welcome drink:
Signature cocktails are fun, chic, and unexpected. I find serving my guests a special cocktail as they walk through the door is a great way to make them feel welcomed!
Create a roadmap with decor:
Because a cocktail party is not sit down format, sometimes hosts struggle with creating a clear visual for guests to know where to hangout and mingle. Always strategically place decor elements at the bar, designated seating areas, and in any areas where food is presented.
Prep music:
Nothing completes a party atmosphere quite like the perfect playlist - and something many hosts forget to prepare ahead of time. Luckily for you guys, we've done the heavy lifting by creating a number of curated playlists perfect for your next party. To browse our tunes, check out our link in bio!
Have basic options:
For your less adventurous guests, have a few basic wines and liquors available should they noot want to experiment with specialty cocktails. Also don't forget about non-drinkers, so have soft drinks cold & ready too!
Go batched:
For larger groups, if you choose too many complex cocktails, you'll end up bartending all night. Try to mix up your offerings with some batched cocktails (or batched versions of the specialty). It becomes much easier to continue serving as the evening progresses.
And of course - have FUN!!
