Themed Cocktails: Easy Hacks For Decor And Drink Pairings To Explore
Party hosts and organisers are very particular about every decoration, including the food and cocktail menu. Organising an ideal party according to a specific theme is tricky to host. Every little thing needs to come together as a perfect party- matching the ambience and the decided surroundings is essential to blend everything in.
The decoration, including food and drinks, should be in harmony for an ideal match. For example, if hosting a Mexican party, one should always focus on Mexican elements in terms of decorations and creating a menu. Anything outside Mexican elements would seem out of place, taking up unnecessary attention. Food and dessert dishes can easily be matched with the theme in less time, but different drinks can be crafty to match.
5 Easy Hacks For Decor And Drink Pairings
Use Similar Herbs/ Flowers
If you are going for organic decorative elements, which are made with dried flowers, simple twigs, and herbs to make a space aromatic and beautiful, you can also use similar ingredients in a cocktail to match the theme, creating great decor and drink pairings. Try using dried lavender/mint on your table to match the theme of the party for decoration- likewise use dried or fresh lavender/mint in your cocktail drinks. Using lavender, butterfly pea flower syrup, or blueberry syrup in a cocktail will also help to match the drink with a similar lavender coloured hue to match it further.
Berries And Dried Garnishes
Frozen or fresh berries, along with dried garnishes, can be excellent DIY decorative pieces for table spreading aroma and ambience. Using dried orange peel to decorate the table alongside dried flowers or using berries as beads to make more decorative arrangements for the room can be a brilliant idea. These garnishes can not only be served in drinks but also can be easily used for decoration.
Similarly, some leaves or twigs that are specifically used for decoration can be made into innovative garnishes. Maple leaves or mistletoe leaves along with pine fruits, leaves are often used in parties for organic decorations; these can also be used for presentation in the cocktail to match the theme.
Innovative Ornaments For Presentation
Organic decorations can be easily alternated between party decoration and themed cocktails, creating ideal decor and drink pairings to explore. Going another step-up on creativity, one can also use different non-edible elements of the decor to present the drink alongside a cocktail tray and glasses. Using disco balls or colourful fairy lights along the glass or the tray can be an innovative way to match up the decor with the drink without requiring extra garnishes.
Edible Glitter
Every party has some or the other kind of glitters involved in decoration. If you don't want to miss out on the glitters even when serving the drinks, you can use different kinds of edible glitters present in the market. If you don't want edible glitters, you can easily alternate them with candid garnishes and colourful sugars infused with different fruit syrups to gain an organic colour. Using colourful crushed peppermints and jelly bits can also have the same effects, matching the theme as a garnish.
Fancy Straws And Flower Accessories
Fancy straws and flower accessories are ideal ways to match up the cocktails without altering the taste with ingredients or even changing the garnishes. These are additional accessories that can be put up on the cocktail table to match the theme without much hassle. They come in different shapes and limitless possibilities to choose from, too.
The simple hacks and tricks to decide on garnishes and overall presentation can make the drink match the theme without altering the taste. The art of presenting simple edible and non-edible garnishes for a particular cocktail menu is a creative space with the scope of broad experimentation, making stunning signature drinks with a few simple steps.
