Cocktail parties are very popular this spring and today we offer 4 ideas for making yours more interesting.
- Showcase a drink--Whether that be a straight liquor like whiskey or vodka or a signature cocktail or a type of liquor in a signature cocktail "bar" (such as different types of mixed drinks made with gin, poured and set out for guests to enjoy)
- Add something decorative to your bar area--This can be greenery or large fresh blooms or a bloom floating in a decorative bowl or decorative paper napkins or colored cocktail glassess--SOMETHING to add color and a sense of festivity.
- Have no fewer than three light bites--Again, no matter how good your liquor is, people will think you're cheap if you don't serve some small/light bites. Avoid serving just chips and dip! Buy from a reputable source or provider if you don't cook.
- Use a one-minute dress up for your light bites--Buy fresh chives, cut off the very tips, and either stack them across the middle of your serving tray or stack a few and then a few more in an "X" across the middle of your serving tray, with the light bites arranged on either side if stacked in the middle or in the open spaces of the "X." Very zen/minimalist and easy!
Warmly,
Kristina
