Cocktail samples at your event? Sometimes even we admit full-on cocktails may not fit your event. What if visitors or your guests are standing for instance? Or wandering around?
You want cocktails at your event or function, and the glamour associated with them, but full cocktails served as nice as they are in those easy to spill Martini glasses – may not cut the mustard.
Our suggestion is these ever-so cutesy scaled down mini milk bottles which we showcased recently at a cocktail sampling event we ran in Market Harborough at Duncan Murray Wines. Us Cocktail Shaker Boys served up a selection of 6 cocktails to choose from. We serve roughly a 25ml serving – just enough to give you a sample of the flavours – and colours of course – as this picture shows.
Then we put one of our candy-striped paper straws in the top and they’re good to go. They certainly went down well with the shoppers of Harboro’. People loved the diddy bottles and straws, and they drew nearly as much comment as the cocktails themselves.
The 2 most popular for those cocktailogists among you were the French 75 – an old Prohibition era cocktail and the Lavender Martini – one of our own creations. So there you have it, 1920s going head to head with a post-2010 creation.
If you like cocktails and the idea of sampling inspires you, consider getting us along with our box of tricks.
Be experimental with your cocktails
If you see yourself as an early adopter and have already moved on from Mojitos, and Cosmos and Caipirinhas, then a range of brand new, experimental cocktails could be just the thing for you and your guests. We have many great, (stunning, in fact) cocktails to offer you. Some are our own creations, which undergo the most rigorous testing before we let them out on the public (!) And some are ones we’ve come across in our extensive cocktail library.
So to get cocktails minis on the menu for your event contact us at fun@cocktailshakerboys.co.uk and we can talk through some ideas.
