Some Cocktail Party Tips for a Great Night
Set the Scene
At any party, the atmosphere is key.
Decorate your space to create a warm, inviting ambience. Think soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a playlist that sets the mood.
It’s always a good idea to have a theme for a party, and whether it’s Christmas, Halloween, or simply a gathering of friends, try and set the decorations and cocktails to fit this.
Stock Your Bar
Essential to any cocktail party is a well-stocked bar. No-one wants to be the host who throws a cocktail party and then runs out of alcohol in the first half an hour.
Begin with a selection of spirits – vodka, gin, rum, and whiskey are great starters.
And don’t forget the star of the show: mixers from Lixir Drinks.
Who doesn’t love a low-calorie tonic as a mixer, and therefore why not get a mixed pack so you know you have something different to please everyone?
Choose the Cocktails Wisely
Get creative with your drinks!
Offer a variety of options, from classic cocktails to innovative concoctions. Remember, you may have many different guests who like different things.
There may be some adventurous people who love drinks packed with flavour, or simply people who love a classic gin and tonic.
The key is to cater for everyone, so make sure you have a nice mix of tonics, spirits, garnishes, and more.
Offer Different Options
Remember your non-drinking guests with delicious mocktails.
Our variety of tonics, make for great non-alcoholic options that everyone can enjoy. There is now a wide range of non-alcoholic spirits that are a great alternative for the real thing.
Alternatively, why not think of some delicious mocktails made with fruit juices and more?
There are many options to choose from, and you can make your cocktails low-calorie, gluten-free, and more to suit your guests.
Don’t Forget the Food
Pair your drinks with light snacks. Cheese boards, fruit platters, and finger foods are perfect for guests to nibble on while mingling.
Serving lots of delicious cocktails without any food can leave your guests feeling hungry, and sometimes a little bit dizzy, so make sure you are feeding them.
This can play a big role in your party, and by making sure your food and cocktails pair and work with your theme, you can nail an all-round approach.
