What sort of cocktails would you recommend?
This is a question we get asked a lot. For someone who is organising their first party, event or just stepped into the industry, there are many details to worry about. Picking the right food and drink that all guests will enjoy is certainly one of them!
Obviously, suggestions may vary depending on the size, budget and theme of the event. Nevertheless, there are a few things that will guarantee that everyone is attended to.
2-3 options
Unless all your friends have a similar palate – which is highly unlikely – there is a chance that some will prefer sweet over sour flavours or bitter over sweet and so on. Having more than one option gives you the opportunity to create an offering that meets all your guests’ needs.
Seasonal choices
During the spring/summer season, people usually prefer longer serves, spritzes and refreshing options while during autumn/winter people tend to go for shorter serves and deeper, more robust flavours.
Classics with a twist
Cocktails that people recognise can be a good starting point. A drink that is familiar but has a twist on it could be a good way to introduce your guests to something new yet still comfortable.
Who is attending?
Knowing your guests is the best way to determine what cocktails will be enjoyed the most. Would they enjoy rich flavours you might find in a Negroni or an Aperol Spritz or would they normally go for lighter, easier flavours like a Mojito or a Daiquiri? Maybe they are mostly non-drinkers so you should focus on quality mocktails?
These are just some of the guidelines that can help to choose your drinks for an event.
