5 Tips Not to Overlook for a Great Party

1) Traffic Flow = Happier Guests
Place the bar away from the entrance and near social zones. Add a clear menu board to speed up decisions and keep lines short.

2) Signature + Speed
Offer one signature cocktail (pre-batched where possible) plus two fast classics (e.g., Margaritas & Old Fashioneds). You’ll slash wait times and boost guest satisfaction.

3) The “Zero-Proof” Wow
At least one showy mocktail (garnishes, fresh herbs, or dry ice effect in a punch bowl). Parents, non-drinkers, and designated drivers will love you for it.

4) Photo-Ready Garnish Bar
Citrus wheels, fresh herbs, cinnamon sticks, edible glitter/sprays—tiny cost, huge Instagram factor. Put it by the bar with cute signage.

5) Ice Is a Strategy
Clear, large-format cubes for spirit-forward drinks; pebble or crushed for spritzes and punches. It changes dilution and taste more than you think.

Ghastly Ghost Cocktail (or Mocktail)

A creamy, tropical-meets-spooky drink that looks like a floating ghost in your glass.

Ingredients:

2 oz coconut cream

2 oz pineapple juice

¼ oz simple syrup

Ice

(Optional spirit for cocktail version: 1.5 oz white rum or vodka)

Instructions:

  1. In a shaker, combine coconut cream, pineapple juice, simple syrup (and rum/vodka if using).
  2. Shake well with ice until frothy and chilled.
  3. Strain into a coupe or martini glass.
  4. Garnish with three chocolate chips or coffee beans on the foam to make a ghostly face.

Why It Works:

Coconut cream creates a white, frothy base—perfect “ghost” vibes.

Pineapple juice balances with tangy sweetness.

Works both as a mocktail (non-alcoholic) and cocktail.

Garnish is simple but gets guests talking (and Instagramming).
