To keep it simple, I usually like to serve one signature cocktail when entertaining for the evening. Because I love champagne, I recently setup a self-service champagne bar when hosting game night at our house.
This is an easy, festive, and colorful idea for an evening in, or a special party occasion (maybe a bridal or wedding shower). The idea is you provide the champagne (or in this case, Spanish cava) and extra ingredients that guests can use to customize the taste to their preferences. You can add as many or as few ingredients as you want to the bar.
I kept it pretty simple with just a few items:
- Lime wedges
- Pink rock candy
- White candy pearls
- Fresh strawberries
- Peach puree
Some prefer their cocktails a little sweeter and some prefer tart so it’s nice to have a mix of both. You can also add other liqueurs for an extra kick and flavor (St. Germain would be nice!) Give it a try and enjoy!
