Tips for Making Cocktails for a Party
If you’re making cocktails for a large group, here are a few tips:
- Choose a signature cocktail: Instead of offering a variety of drinks, consider making one of these recipes the “signature cocktail” of the night. This simplifies the process of mixing drinks and ensures that everyone has the same experience.
- Make ahead of time: Prep as much as you can ahead of time, so you can focus on entertaining your guests. For example, you can pre-mix your cocktail in large batches and chill it in a pitcher or dispenser. This also helps to ensure that your guests won’t be left waiting for their drinks.
- Garnish in advance: Cut up your garnishes, such as citrus wedges or fruit slices, and have them ready to go. This will make it easier to serve your drinks quickly and efficiently.
- Use a jigger or measuring cup: When making cocktails for a crowd, it’s important to ensure that each drink is consistent. Using a jigger or measuring cup helps to ensure that each drink has the same amount of alcohol and mixers.
- Set up a bar station: Set up a designated bar station with all the necessary ingredients, such as ice, glasses, and garnishes. This helps to keep everything organized and makes it easy for guests to serve themselves.
- Have non-alcoholic options: Not all guests may want to drink alcohol, so it’s a good idea to have non-alcoholic options available, such as sparkling water or fruit juice.
