Creating the perfect drink menu for your event can elevate the experience for your guests, ensuring that everyone finds something they enjoy. At RBars, we specialise in mobile bar hire across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, and Oxfordshire, and we’ve gathered some expert tips to help you craft a balanced and appealing drink menu for your next event.
Tips for a Balanced Drink Menu
1. Know Your Audience
Understanding your guests’ preferences is crucial. Are they cocktail aficionados, beer enthusiasts, or wine lovers? A balanced menu should cater to a variety of tastes.
2. Include Non-Alcoholic Options
Not everyone drinks alcohol, so it’s essential to include a range of non-alcoholic beverages. Consider mocktails, soft drinks, and flavoured water. For instance, our Drinks on Arrival service can include a selection of non-alcoholic welcome drinks to set the tone.
3. Seasonal Cocktails
Incorporate seasonal ingredients into your cocktails to enhance freshness and flavour. Summer events might feature fruity cocktails like a classic Pimm’s Cup, while winter gatherings could include warm spiced drinks.
4. Wine and Beer Pairings
Offer a selection of wines and beers that pair well with your food menu. Light wines such as Sauvignon Blanc pair well with salads and seafood, while a robust Merlot complements red meats. Similarly, lighter beers go well with lighter fare, while darker beers can pair with hearty dishes.
5. Signature Drinks
Create a signature drink for your event. This adds a personal touch and makes your event memorable. For weddings, this could be a cocktail that tells your love story, featured in our Wedding Gallery.
6. Quality Over Quantity
It’s better to offer a smaller selection of high-quality drinks than a large variety of mediocre options. Ensure that your mobile bar is stocked with premium spirits, quality wines, and craft beers.
7. Professional Bartenders
Hiring professional bartenders ensures that drinks are made correctly and served efficiently. Our Full Mobile Bar Hire and Half Bar Hire packages include experienced staff who can manage high volumes and keep your guests happy.
