Cocktail Serving tips
- Prep drinks far enough in advance in large pitchers or dispenser so that guests can self-serve and so that the ingredients have time to come together.
- Let people add their own ice, that way the cocktails don’t become watered down.
- Stock up on lots of ice. If it’s hot people will want to refresh their drinks.
- If using disposable cups, make sure to provide a sharpie marker so guests can write their names on the cups.
- If drinking poolside plastic wine glasses are a must, I love these ones from Wine Outside, because they don’t look like plastic and are stemless so they won’t blow over.
- Keep lots of water on hand. It’s easy to get dehydrated drinking in the sun.
