Tips to elevate your hosting at home
The right glassware can make a beverage an experience. Whether your guests are drinking alcohol or not, the right vessel can make any drink feel special.
Garnish
Wowing your guests with presentation while finding ways to reduce waste. Use lemon peel for an elegant twist topper or extra zest to blend with sugar or salt for your glass rim. Garnish your cocktails with mint or a beautiful orchid attached to a cocktail pick for a fresh topper.
Sustainability
Here are some tips to help you stay mindful about the environment as you get ready to host. Hold onto your leftover ingredients. You can give them new life by using them as a garnish, throwing them in a jar and pickling them, infusing spirits, and even as a way to grow new ingredients. Make your drinks with seasonal produce you can pick up at your local farmer’s market. Before the party, put your glasses in the freezer to reduce the amount of ice you’ll need to use, ultimately saving energy and water or say no to plastic straws and consider going strawless.
