One of the important parts of hosting a successful cocktail party is making time to enjoy yourself. Between guests, drinks, and food, it’s easy to become frantic, overworked and stressed out. And trust us, nothing will make guests feel unwelcomed faster than a host who’s not having fun. As host, it’s your duty to set the mood and the easiest way to accomplish this is by preparation, so you can relax and let your easygoing attitude be a guidepost to your guests.
The best way to ensure you don’t get stuck behind the bar all night is to simplify by offering a small selection of easily mixed drinks. In doing so, you’ll minimize time spent behind the bar and maximize time spent attending to your guests. Plus, should any of them decide to make their own drink or try bartending, a simpler recipe is something even the most inexperienced bottle jockey can accomplish.
Here’s a great selection of delicious and easy drink recipes guaranteed to keep everyone having fun, including the host.
