Finding your flair - Cocktails post COVID-19 | Mildura Boudoir Photography

Picture
The time is getting nearer when we can have gatherings once again, so aside from hitting up Kmart, many of us are dying to have our friends over and entertain with nibbles, a delicious meal, dessert and of course, Cocktails!!!!

Here's a couple of my go-to recipes to get you going, and a few pointers when organising an event that includes cocktails. I've also snuck in a delicious mocktail too!
​

So let us begin with some sensible suggestions for your shindig:
  • Always have food available throughout the night - Chips and Dips are simple and easy, but just are not substantial enough to soak up the alcohol and keep your guests less susceptible to intoxication!
  • Ensure you always have jugs of water on hand so guests can help themselves, and so you can offer it around.
  • Stay in control of your party - don't wipe yourself out sampling every drink being made! 
  • Look after your guests with a genuine sense of care for their wellbeing - Don't set out to wipe everyone out.......they may not want to be your friend too much longer!
  • Punches and Jugs are an easy way to entertain a group without the stress and mess of making individual drinks. All of the below are either made as a jug or punch and easily adaptable to suit.
