At our latest cocktail party we tried out a new formula. Carolyn had 14 people at her 50th birthday gathering in Leicester. So, we had the chance to try out something a little different. Yeah, we mixed it up a little!
We ran a usual 5+2 menu. That’s a choice of 5 alcoholic cocktails & 2 non-alcoholic mocktails. But then in addition to the menu for the last 3/4 hour or so, we also handed out a selection of cocktail minis. All ones to tantalise the tastebuds. Ones we hoped the guests hadn’t tried before. Some in-house creations, plus others we’ve discovered. The idea was to offer unusual flavours and the cocktail minis certainly became a talking point. Fortunately the ‘audience’ entered into the spirit of things and guessed at the ingredients of the 3 minis we served out.
Still with lavender, PX sherry, liquorice and vanilla vodka among the ingredients it made for an interesting experiment!
If you want cocktails on your menu, but you want something a bit different and some unusual cocktails to entice your friends, this is a great format. Admittedly we can only offer this with smallish groups. If that’s you and the idea appeals, give us a call. Cocktail Shaker Boys provide a range of stunning cocktails from the standard classics through to some of the more modern and innovative concoctions.
