Tips to Make the Best Holiday Drinks 🥂
Use Seasonal Ingredients 🍂
Think of seasonal ingredients like cinnamon sticks, rosemary sprigs, sugared cranberries, peppermint, pumpkin spice, and more. Keep your pantry stocked with these holiday essentials to evoke nostalgic and comforting vibes.
Batch It Up 🍹
To make serving a breeze, prepare large batches of your holiday drinks ahead of time so you can spend less time mixing and more time enjoying your guests. Every drink your guests have will be just as delicious as the first!
Serve at the Right Temperature 🌡️
Whether hot or cold, make sure your drinks are served at the right temperature. Keep your cold drinks chilled with plenty of ice, and warm up your mulled wine or hot apple cider just enough. The perfect temperature is key.
Prepare Signature Ice Cubes ❄️
To make your drinks look extra special, freeze edible flowers, citrus slices, cranberries, or edible glitter in your ice cubes. Not only do they look great, but they won’t water down your drinks as they melt.
Choose the Right Glassware 🍷
Don’t forget to match your glassware to the vibe of your drink! Opt for elegant glasses or holiday-themed mugs to make your drinks as stylish as they are delicious. These little details will add the perfect festive touch!
Offer a Garnish Bar
Set up a garnish station and let your guests get creative with their drinks! Stock up on fun and festive garnishes like candy cane stirrers, citrus wedges, fresh mint, or a dollop of whipped cream for a sweet, creamy touch.
This interactive, hands-on element will not only make each drink feel extra special but will also leave your guests talking about your unforgettable holiday party!
