Cocktails, Anyone?!

Hosting a themed cocktail party is a great way to create an interactive and FUN experience for you friends!

My friends and I have been throwing cocktail parties that explore one particular type of liquor. This allows the guests to explore the possibilities and potential of each liquor. Not only can this be a fun social experiment, it can be educational!

 Western Themed American Whisky Party!
Guests were invited to saddle up and step into the West...

  Dressed in Cowboy Boots and Hats, we sipped whisky that was blended in four unique cocktails created by Scott Miller, Bay Area Mixologist

Providing a drink menu listing the Drink names and ingredients allowed guests to learn about the different ratios and flavors used to create each drink.

A cocktail cannot reach perfection unless it is accompanied with the perfect garnish! Be sure to prep all garnishes before the party.

Setting up an area where guests can smell individual whiskys and vermouths creates guest interaction and great conversation!

Several vermouths were needed to explore the variations of the
Classic Manhattan!


The second Party was an Alice and Wonderland themed party celebrating Vodka! Because Vodka os the perfect platform to create fresh herb and fresh fruit infused liquor, much creative liberty can be used to create the drink menu!
