More tips for fun festive drink area for your next holiday get together:

+ Set up a designated drink area+

Whether you’re keeping it kid friendly, or making a bar for adults, you can keep drinks available that are simple for party goers to grab and refill on their own!

+ Add pretty glassware+

Think champagne glasses, wine glasses, rocks glasses, as well as kid friendly cups.

+ Have an ice bowl or bucket with a scoop+

This will help guests to serve themselves with ease. Have a pretty bucket filled up with ice, and a scoop to make things easy!

+ Festive drink napkins+

Simple enough, but an important touch! Get some sweet holiday napkins and keep them stacked at your bar/ drink station.

+ A variety of mixers+

Fruit juices, lemonade, sparkling seltzer, tonic water, ginger ale, flavored syrups. Any spirits that would be included in your cocktail recipes.

+ Clearly label what is available+

Make sure that non alcoholic options are clearly labeled, as well as what each mixer available is.

+ Have a drink options menu with details+

A signature cocktail or mocktail list is a really special touch! Add a “recipe” menu of what is included in each beverage, for guests to follow!

+ Include garnishes+

Cherries, lime wedges, lemon wedges, olives, rim salt, rim sugars, anything else that would dress up your special beverages. You can put these into pretty dishes or glasses, to really elevate the look!

+ Add something festive+

Drink stirrers with tinsel on top, striped straws, or candy cane sticks — these fun touches make such a statement!

+ Add florals or decorations+

A bouquet or arrangement, some festive decor, don’t forget to dress up this area to take this setup to the next level.

Hosting parties and celebrations is something very dear to me, and I always want to be sure that my guests feel welcome and that they enjoy themselves in our home! I hope that these tips come in handy, and if you make some fizzy lemonade mocktails, be sure to tag me so that I can see!
