Tips For Serving Summer Cocktails
If you are planning to serve one of these cocktails at a spring or summer event you are hosting, here are some great hosting ideas & serving ware to consider:
- Keep your cocktail extra-chilled with freezable mugs. These freezable cocktail glasses will make sure your cocktail stays chilled (without watering it down!). So you can take your time sipping it, even on a hot summer day.
- Serve them in a summer pitcher. You can turn any of the recipes below into a large batch recipe and serve it in an elegant pitcher for a group of friends or family. Try this large glass pitcher that is easy to pour from, or even one of these large drink dispensers so guests can serve themselves.
- Use unbreakable glasses. If you like to sip your cocktails outside on the patio or by the pool, try some of these unbreakable cocktail glasses, which will prevent you having to worry about any broken glass.
- Add summer garnishes. Adding a simple garnish to your cocktail can really make its presentation pop. Use a peeler to peel a slice of citrus, or use some dehydrated lemon or lime slices. You can also use some edible flowers for a fruity, floral look. Or — to fit the strawberry theme — use fresh strawberry slices on a strawberry cocktail pick.
- Use beach themed cocktail charms. Use these fun beach themed cocktail charms to help you guests keep track of their glass.
- Use an ice bucket. You may want to serve classic beverages (white wine, rosé, champagne) alongside these strawberry cocktails. In which case, you can use a party ice bucket tray to keep these drinks cold while letting guests serve themselves.
