Tips for Setting Up Your Bar

Feel like a bartender? Here are some tips to make you look like one:

• Pre-mix your cocktails so you can mingle.
• Use unique containers for a creative look.
• Plastic pitchers with the look of glass are a good choice for outdoor events.
• Use different kinds of glassware to spice up your cocktails.
• Keep drinks on ice in galvanized steel or plastic containers.
• Create drinks to satisfy all. Add a splash of alcohol to give it an adult edge.
• Make sure that all of the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages you'll need are available and easily accessible, before guests arrive. Consider organizing all of your drink glasses in one place, where guests can easily find them and help themselves.
