How To Host A Memorable Kitty Party: Cocktail Edition

Kitty parties are often associated with gossip and socialising but they also include a component in which women come together to pool money which is then used to either plan and throw this party or as a small saving that is pocketed by one member in turns throughout the year.

However, over time the function of a kitty party has expanded even more so that it has now become a place where ladies primarily gather to converse with each other in a relaxed setting and steal a few hours for themselves from the humdrum of their everyday routines. Kitty parties are delightful collectives for women to step out of their homes and be at leisure in an unsurveilled setting.

And when vibrant, dynamic women form such a group, one of the best ways to entertain them is to serve stunning food and drinks that add a charm to the conversations they are having. Cocktails at a kitty party are a splendid means to facilitate such an enjoyable brunch or lunch.

Generally, kitty parties are hosted during the day by each member in succession. So when it is your turn to invite women home for this gathering, make sure you have a selection of cocktails planned ahead of time that add a bright pop of colour to their day.

Read on below to know more about some of the cocktails that would work well at a fun kitty party:

Cosmopolitan

The seductive red hue of the cosmopolitan makes this cocktail an inviting option for a kitty party. It is a drink that can be prepared in bulk so you can shake several glasses of this mix through the course of your brunch or lunch gathering. Kitty parties often encompass certain activities like playing bridge or rummy and this sweet and tangy blend is the perfect drink to sip on when you have a particularly good set of cards in your hands. Prepare a batch of cosmopolitan using Ketel One Premium Distilled Vodka and garnish it with a lime twist for enhanced zestiness.

Mimosa

Made from quality champagne and orange juice, mimosa is the perfect sparkly drink that will add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your kitty party. Women can gather around a round table and engage in conversation and the gossip du jour with a champagne flute containing this bubbly drink by their side. The bright orange and yellow colour of the mimosa infuses a cheerful touch into the menu that can be paired perfectly with a brunch comprising fresh dishes like mini quiches, pastries, salads and other delights.

Bellini

Another merry mix, a bellini made using sparkling prosecco and peaches adds a happy quality to your party. Its slightly pink and orange colour coupled with a light fizz that settles on top makes the drink a fun mix to enjoy amidst laughter and intense discussions at a kitty gathering. Many times, kitty parties contain an element of networking or socialising with a special guest and a tasty bellini can be the ice breaker required to get all the members chatting with this honoured attendee.

Flavoured Margaritas

Of all the different cocktails out there, the margarita concoction made from premium Don Julio Blanco tequila, lime juice and triple sec is a thoroughly exciting drink that infuses any party with titillating flavours. Add to the margarita different flavours like mangoes, basil or ginger and what you will have is a refreshing mix that is perfect at a kitty party where you engage in loud laughs, too much chatter and a whole lot of excitement. Margaritas can also be paired with diverse cuisines making them an excellent choice for parties with elaborate feasts.

Piña Colada

Prepare this tropical mix with its potent sweet, tangy and sour notes as a companion drink to delicious fresh foods at a kitty party. Containing coconut cream, pineapple and rum, this cocktail is a very decadent mix that is ideal for a kitty party where you gather with friends to relax and have a chilled time. Serve the cocktail with a colourful umbrella tucked at the top for tropical feels.
