How to Prepare a Holiday Cocktail Bar
Votes: 4
Serve your delicious holiday cocktails the right way: here's everything you need for a beautiful drinks table.
Festive cocktail bar
You don't need a full set of glassware to beautifully serve drinks. Start building a collection of interesting glasses by visiting a local thrift store or garage sale. For a unified look, stick to a consistent color scheme: glasses with gold or blue patterns, or even plain ones. Plus, a variety of glasses helps guests find their drink!
Elegant ice
Freeze cranberries or lemon zest in ice cubes for a pop of color, turning an ordinary cocktail or glass of water into a colorful drink.
Cocktail sticks
Make your own stir sticks using holiday tinsel. Cut a small piece of tinsel from an inexpensive string of lights—you can find these at many stores. Apply glue or double-sided tape to the pointed end of a thin bamboo skewer, then simply wrap the tinsel around it.
For company: punch
Cider, mulled wine, and punch are great for company. Add star anise and cinnamon sticks to the bowl for added flavor and decoration.
Rosemary sprigs
Seasonal herbs like rosemary and sage can be used not only in dishes but also in cocktails. To create wonderful drinks, keep a few garnishes, a knife, a pestle, and a stirring rod on hand.
