Party Theme
Garnish & Presentation Tips
The right garnish can enhance both the look and flavor of your cocktail:
Citrus Twists – A simple lemon, lime, or orange twist adds aroma and a touch of elegance.
Herbs – Fresh mint, rosemary, or basil can provide extra fragrance and depth.
Edible Flowers – Beautiful and unique, perfect for a visually stunning drink.
Fruit Skewers – Berries, pineapple, or cherries add a fun and tasty element.
Smoked Garnishes – A quick torch on cinnamon sticks or rosemary can add a smoky aroma.
Mixology & Cocktail Tips
Cocktail-Making Techniques
Shaking – Combines ingredients thoroughly and chills them quickly. Many cocktail recipes contain only a small amount of liquor because, when shaken with ice, they dilute to achieve the perfect balance
After shaking, always strain the drink to remove ice shards and pulp, ensuring a smooth and well-balanced cocktail.
Stirring – Ideal for spirit-forward cocktails like the Old Fashioned, ensuring clarity and smoothness.
Muddling – Gently press herbs or fruit to release their flavors without over-extracting bitterness.
Layering – Carefully pour ingredients over the back of a spoon to create stunning layered drinks.
Rimming Glasses – Use sugar, salt, or spices to add extra flavor and presentation to your drinks.

Prepare Ingredients in Advance – Pre-squeeze citrus, batch mix some drinks, and have garnishes ready to streamline serving.
Stock Up on Ice – You’ll need more than you think! Ensure you have plenty for shaking, stirring, and serving drinks.
Set Up a Functional Bar Area – Organize glassware, tools, and spirits for easy access. Consider a self-serve station for simple drinks.
Creating the Right Atmosphere
Lighting Matters – Use warm lighting, candles, or string lights to create a cozy and inviting vibe.
Music Sets the Mood – Curate a playlist that matches your party theme. Keep it upbeat but not overpowering.
Decor & Ambiance – Small touches like themed napkins, cocktail stirrers, and fresh flowers can elevate the experience.

Garnish Thoughtfully – Fresh herbs, citrus twists, and edible flowers add a professional touch.
Offer Non-Alcoholic Options – Have a couple of well-crafted mocktails so everyone can enjoy a special drink.
