Having a featured cocktail at your event can really put a special touch on the entire event presentation! Not too long ago, Devoted to Your Event’s social media theme was “signature cocktails” and we had a blast talking about the makings of a special drink. Keep reading if you want some helpful tips that will help you select a featured cocktail for your special events.
Consider location: Certain areas are known for specific drinks and cocktails so keep that in mind when you are selecting your drink of choice.
Tie into your event theme: There is nothing better than a cocktail that matches your event theme. You can tie it in with the cocktail color, cocktail décor, or even the cocktail name.
Talk to an expert: Need a little assistance picking your event décor, well talk to your caterer or your local bartender. These individuals can provide you with some industry insight that will help you select a cocktail that is perfect for you.
Budget: Signature cocktails are always a good budget friendly option for events. Instead of having a full bar you can offer your specialty drink throughout the night to save money.
Try it first: You want to serve a cocktail that you love, so make sure you taste and approve of the drink before serving it to others. Do you want it sweet, do you want it strong, these are all things that you should keep in mind when taste testing.
Embellish your drink: It is cute to have a special drink, but you don’t want to forget about the embellishments. Whether it be fruit, candy, a cute straw, etc. this small touch is has a large effect on the drink presentation.
Signature cocktails when thought out and displayed creatively are always a hit! You can never go wrong with them, even if you do have a full bar at your event. Get creative and have fun mixing and creating the drink that is right for you!
