Make your Cocktail Party Sparkle

BBQ kebabsA cocktail party is a great way to spend quality time with friends and the perfect opportunity for a fun-filled get together. Whether you’re hosting a big party or a more intimate affair, Shloer’s top tips will ensure your night sparkles.

  • Choosing your cocktails –There are plenty of recipe ideas on the Shloer website to get you started, why not try the ‘Shloer in the City’ or the delicious ‘It’s your Shhparkle’ to get your guests taste buds tingling
  • What to wear - Why not ask people to go the extra mile and wear cocktail dresses and tuxedo's, this will really add sparkle to the party
  • Making your cocktails – Make sure you have plenty of ice in the freezer and Shloer on hand as it makes a great mixer and comes in six delicious flavours. For larger parties prepare your cocktails before your guests arrive. Consider using a big punch bowl with a ladle for convenience so guests can help themselves
  • Serving - To make it really authentic serve your cocktails in the right glasses, see our cocktail recipes and see if you have the glasses to match the drink
  • Garnish – Cocktails with garnish are a sure fire way to impress your friends and can give cocktails extra sparkle (See cocktail recipes). Try freshly cut citrus fruits, fresh mint, sugar, olives and cherries. Ice cubes can double as a garnish, simply add fresh herbs or berries to ice trays, fill with water and freeze
  • Theme - Why not make your party a Sex and the City party - serving ‘Shloer in the City’ on arrival…Or have a Mama Mia theme and ensure that the soundtrack is played on the stereo
