Cocktail Bar Essentials

So you’re having cocktails at your event? Perfect! We’ve prepared this handy guide to make sure you have everything you need for your cocktail bar.

Every good cocktail party starts with the menu.

If you’re having a cocktail bar, with other alcohol on offer (wine, beer, spirits, and don’t forget the bubbles), we suggest having two or three signature cocktails.

Some of Brisbane Event and Waitstaff Hire’s clients favourite signature cocktails include:

• Classic Mojito

• Cosmopolitan

• Margarita

• Aperol Spritz

• Espresso Martini

• Pink Gin Fizz

• Sex on the Beach

• Passionfruit Martini

Once you’ve chosen your menu, it’s time to get organised. Whip out that shopping list!

Things to buy:

• Alcohol

• Mixers

• Fruit and herbs (if needed)

• Sugar syrups

• Ice

• Garnishes - dried citrus, florals, fresh fruit

• Paper straws

Next, you’ll need to organise your glassware.

Have you got the right glasses for your cocktails? We can provide cocktail glass hire in Brisbane and surrounds. We can also provide wine glass hire, champagne glass hire and other glasses if you need too. Check out Brisbane Event and Waitstaff Hire’s glassware hire range here.
