A themed party for a cricket match is all about designing an engaging space where food, beverages and ambience enable guests to imbue the spirit of a game. A signature drink station where everyone can help themselves, easy-to-grab snacks, thematic colours and stadium-style settings collectively impact the gathering.
Develop cocktails based on one’s favourite regional teams represent the diversity of the game – think Mumbai Masala Mule or Chennai Coconut Punch.
Offer big-batch cocktails in dispensers, so it is easy for guests to help themselves to drinks while the crowd remains engrossed in the game.
Serve appetisers on a stadium-inspired serving platter, placing sliders, kebabs and chaat canapes as part of a playful visual centerpiece with convenient portion sizes.
Pair traditional cricket-viewing snacks with innovative variations, such as masala popcorn with spiced margaritas or keema pav with smoky whisky cocktails, to enhance the palate.
Create a cricket-themed hosting area using decor details like green turf table runners, tiny bats as serving dishes and colour coordinated napkins.
Provide an on-site chalkboard or digital scoreboard for patrons to make predictions on scores or highlight memorable moments of the game for an engaging game night.
