A bartender I am not, but pull out those cute copper mugs & I’ll find a way to become one. Seriously, they are just so cute it makes you want to sip on something. These are the perfect drink to go with a filling holiday feel as they are light and refreshing. So whether you make as a cocktail or a mocktail, wrap your hands around that cute but chilling copper mug & enjoy a few sips.
As a host/hostess you are running around doing so many things. Unless you are going to have someone stationed as a bartender the drink making falls on you. My tip…put it back on the task of the guest. Set up a cute bar station with all the ingredients & tools laid out with a cute little step by step on how to prepare. One, it’s adorable. Two, it becomes an activity your guests can do together. Three, it allows people to make drinks as strong, weak or void of alcohol as they wish. But most important it let’s you do all the other things you need to do to be the host/hostess with the mostest.
