You can even take it a step further by capturing on the spot photos of your guests that can immediately be printed and added to their cocktails In real time. Talk about a wow factor!
Shaving the Ice
Cocktails and ice go hand in hand. But who says your ice cubes have to be basic? Take your bar experience up a notch with “extra” ice. No I don’t mean go out and get more ice, I mean take your ice cubes to the next level. Engrave your ice cubes with shapes, logos, monograms, initials or even add some color to your ice cubes with edible flowers. How’s that for extra!
Edible Flowers
Speaking of edible flowers, adding some flowers as garnishes to your signature cocktails are a great way to add color to an otherwise ordinary drink. They turn a simple drink into something fancy and elegant. They can be fresh, dried or pressed edible flowers.
Pretty Sweet Details
How sweet it is! I love a cocktail with sugary and tasty garnishes. But don’t just stop at a simple sugared rim, take it even further with a sweet detailed display that you can pour your favorite champagne over.
Themed Details
A theme can take an event experience to elevated heights. So don’t stop at the decor when it comes to your theme, match your cocktails to it as well. It will compliment your overall design. The below color scheme is based on Pantone’s color of the year, Very Peri. This is an example of using a specific color as the basis of your theme to create a tablescape design that drives the color palette of your signature cocktail.
