7 Ultimate Entertainer Tips to Elevate Any Occasion by The Margarita Mum
Always invest in quality cocktail ingredients from trusted sources! From there it’s all about...
Glassware, always glassware. I love presenting trays of mis-matching glassware so that guests can choose their favourite glass to sip from Platters – I love platters, it is worth investing in platters of various sizes so that you can cater adequately for the guests (I am an over feeder!)
Edible Garnishes, nothing finishes a platter off more beautifully than edible flowers, thyme, rosemary to dehydrated fruit
Ice – good quality Ice. And lots of it. I always have an ice bucket with ice tongs filled and ready
Bar Trolley, I like to prepare a bar trolley especially for each event. It will showcase the alcohol that will be used to create the delicious cocktails
Pre-Prepare Drinks, there are many cocktails that can be pre-batched and can be chilled and ready to poured when the guests arrive
Alcohol Free Options: it’s essential to ensure that you are serving alcohol responsibility and that you keep your guests well hydrated. It is also fabulous courtesy to provide options for those that choose not to drink alcohol and the designated driver. A beautiful tray with water infused with fresh fruit and presented with exquisite glassware always
looks fabulous.
