Serving Drinks in Style at Your Party

Why not make the way you serve drinks at your party this fall, or anytime, more fun and stylish than the usual way?

Below, 4 ideas for serving drinks at your party in fun, unusual ways that will wow your guests.  The best part is that none of these ideas require much effort!

• Put poured drinks on a couple of trays--round or square, traditional or mod, trays holding poured drinks look great, dress up your bar area (whether an actual bar area, a counter, a kitchen island, or a table), catch any drips/condensation, and, by preparing some drinks before your guests arrive, save you time and effort.  Guests can get a drink as soon as they arrive if they want.
• If you find all-purpose wineglasses boring--rent or buy coupe glasses (they look like martini glasses but are a little taller and sturdier) for martinis, cocktails, and champagne and some old fashioneds for everything else and you're set to serve any type of drink stylishly.
• Buy a large stainless mixing bowl (no handles) at a department store or restaurant supply store--You can use this as an ice bucket if the look of galvanized metal or rubber/plastic/silicone beverage tubs is not for you and it works especially well for larger parties or parties where there will be a lot of beverages, say, many bottles of wine or craft beer. Plus it looks cool.
• Use drink napkins in a color or print that complements your decor--Colored drink napkins add zip to your bar area and can even be recycled (we like the new Party Pop Up Bins for recycling at parties, www.sustyparty.com ).  Colored drink napkins add special impact to bar or party areas where everything is black, white, gray, and/or chrome.

Enjoy!
