Throwing a successful cocktail party involves three key tenets: preparing in advance, serving filling snacks, and keeping drinks topped off. Guests should never be left with empty glasses, and providing appealing food encourages enjoyment without excess drinking. Offering a variety of drinks—including batched cocktails—makes hosting easier. Additionally, setting up unique drink stations, like a 'speakeasy' for themed shots, adds fun and engagement to the experience. Overall, thoughtful planning and a hospitable atmosphere lead to memorable gatherings.
"At any proper party where libations are served, food is a given. You don't want your guests to get sloppy or feel hungover the next day because they drank on empty stomachs."
"Just as plates should be filled, so should glasses. I like to have a variety of drinks for people to enjoy and often include a punch, Martini service, and a small liquor bar with mixers and wine."
