There’s nothing quite like a sophisticated cocktail party. Delicious cocktails pair perfectly with good company and a fantastic ambience. Are you planning a party soon? If so, cocktail catering is an amazing way to elevate your party from a standard gathering to an unforgettable event.
Creating The Perfect Party With Cocktail Catering
You can make the most of your party by:
Choosing Cocktails That Fit Your Theme. What kind of cocktail party are you throwing? Having a theme is a fun way to add personality to your gathering, and a theme can give you direction when choosing cocktails, food, decor, activities and more.
Consider the kinds of cocktails you could pick for your party. At The Cocktail Guy, our menu has a mix of classic favourites and enticing signature sips for you to pick from. Sticking to a menu of all-time favourites could be right for you, or you could mix things up by picking drinks you’ve never tried before. You could also choose a variety of styles and flavour profiles so that everyone has something familiar to choose and something new to experiment with.
Of course, make sure you also provide your guests with snacks to enjoy with their drinks. Go for food items that can be eaten without utensils so guests can indulge themselves while mingling with others. Sliders, mini tacos and other finger foods are cocktail party favourites. Be sure you have a variety of food available to cater to the different tastes and dietary restrictions of your guests. Offering vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and other kinds of food will show your friends that you put care into your party planning.
Choose Sophisticated Glassware. Classy glassware can take your cocktail party to new heights. Sophisticated glasses show that you put a bit of extra effort into your party.
Don’t have any fancy glasses? No worries; we’ve got you covered. Our packages have glassware hire, so you can make sure that all cocktails are enjoyed out of glasses that make your guests feel fancy and pampered.
Don’t Forget The Garnish. What’s a high-class cocktail without some creative garnish? Garnish adds fun and flavour, giving drinks a little extra something to really make them unique. After all, mixing a cocktail isn’t just about putting some spirits together - it’s about creating drinkable art. Your guests can first eat with their eyes before they take a sip.
Our packages include garnishes and our expert mixologists, who know precisely how to put on a show. For example, take our La Paloma Sucia. This bold drink has smoky mezcal, tequila, fresh lime juice and refreshing grapefruit soda - and it’s topped with a spicy chilli rim and a flaming garnish. Now, that’s a drink your guests will rave about long after your party has ended!
Include Non-Alcoholic Alternatives. Keep in mind that you could have guests who either don’t drink alcohol or who only drink a little, so it’s essential to provide them with non-alcoholic alternatives. Coffee, tea, mocktails and other non-alcoholic options give everyone the chance to indulge in something delicious during your cocktail party.
