A cocktail party is a party that is thrown in the afternoon and cocktails are served. A cocktail is a mixture of different drinks. They are a great way to entertain and bring together different guests. Throwing a fabulous cocktail party needs to be planned greatly. As with any party, cocktail parties to be a success need to be well planned to make sure that everything is well organized.
Firstly it is of utmost importance to set a date and time for the cocktail party. Usually cocktail parties run for two to three hours.
Set out you budget. This means planning on the amount of money to use to buy the drinks and the alcohol. After setting out you budget make sure that you have enough glasses on hand depending on the different kinds of drinks you want to offer. You should offer wine glasses for wine, water and juice. For tall drinks offer straight sided highballs. Juices are best offered in tumblers
In addition you must also make sure that you have enough ice to keep the bottles and the cans chilled on the cocktail party. You must also stock your bar so that all your guests will have enough. It is best to have one bottle of wine stocked for two people and three bottles of beer for each beer drinker. Mixers and garnishes should also be made available like grenadine and seltzer
Making sure that your drinks are well sorted out you must also prepare a menu. Try to provide a variety food so as to make sure that everyone will have some food. As a sign of courtesy you can offer coffee at the end of the cocktail.
You can also ask your guests to dress up for the cocktail party. Wearing formal attire is mostly excellent and will add experience
