If you’re in the middle of planning a fabulous Thanksgiving party, we’re sure there are plenty of items on your to-do list. But making the day a memorable occasion goes beyond having the most delicious feast or the most jaw-dropping cocktails, it’s about those small finishing touches which can make the party feel complete. So as you’re gearing up to host your friends and family for an unforgettable evening, here are 5 things to keep in mind to make your party the toast of the town.



5 Tips To Make Your Thanksgiving Party Stand Out

Mindful Glassware

A delicious drink or cocktail will always be appreciated, but they’re enhanced by the glassware you serve them in. Certain glasses are designed to improve the flavour of your drinks, for example, whisky glasses are made to appreciate the aroma of a fine blend while you sip while gin tumblers give the drink more surface area to aerate and allow the botanical notes to shine. The right glass not only enhances the drinking experience but also adds a touch of sophistication to your gathering.

 

Coordinated Colour Palette

Even if you’re not keen on an all-out themed party, a coordinated colour scheme for your decor and drinks complements the overall aesthetic of your party. It can be as simple as pairing up alcohols and mixers in a way that emphasises your chosen colours. For example some gin cocktails with fresh mint would work for a nature-led vibe, and whisky cocktails with notes of spice would be perfect for a fall theme. This simple touch adds an extra layer of visual appeal to your beverage presentation.

Interactive DIY Cocktails

Even adults enjoy party games, and this is the ultimate in grown-up entertainment! A DIY cocktail station allows people to mix and match ingredients and make their own signature drink for the evening. Set out a selection of must-haves like Gordons London Dry Gin, Captain Morgan Rum and Signature Whisky along with a variety of mixers and fall themed ingredients like spices and fruits, and watch people express their inner mixologist.

Expressive Drink Labels

To bring an element of whimsy to your party, consider adding little name tags and labels to your alcohol bottles which embody the flavour of the drink in a creative way. For example, lighter , more playful drinks like Johnny Walker Blended Scotch could be a laid-back, extrovert who loves getting to know new people. This adds a playful element adds a fun talking point to the celebration and helps guests choose beverages that match their preferences.

Effortless Cleanup

If you’re hosting a large group of people, it’s also important to think ahead and make your life a little easier once the party’s over. Simplify post-party cleanup by using disposable drinkware which is available in a wide range of styles and colours to fit every requirement, and you can also opt for eco-friendly options to balance convenience with environmental consciousness.
