Cocktails are sure to liven up any party! Whether you are having a wedding, anniversary party, or corporate party, cocktails will help you and your guests celebrate! One easy way to bring some fun to your party is by selecting a typical cocktail and giving it a custom name for your event. Another way to make your cocktail special for your event is by using a unique garnish. There are a few garnish ideas that we want to share with you!

Lollipops
Use a lollipop garnish for your fruity or sweet cocktail. These are great for a ladies night, birthday party, or bridal shower. They add a sweet touch to any drink, even non-alcoholic drinks! If you are having a party with underage folks, make a fun mocktail and top it off with a lollipop!

Clothespins
Clothespins can be used to make a garnish for a few types of occasions. Two occasions that would be well suited for these are baby showers or a rustic party. Different color clothespins can be used with different items to make a garnish that fits your event!

Flowers
Flowers can make a beautiful garnish.. They will give your cocktails a fresh feel regardless of what is in them. Use various types of florals and greenery depending on your event or the season. For spring,  use lavender. For a winter event, use something with pine or mint.

Cotton Candy
Bridal showers, girl’s nights, and galentine’s parties are all events where you can pull out all the fluff and sparkle you want! Cotton candy will make your cocktails feel flirty and feminine. The great thing is that you can find different color cotton candy to match or provide contrast with your cocktail.

Shapes for the Occasion
One of the best parts of planning an event is working with the theme that goes with it! Utilizing your garnishes for decor is a great way to make your vision come to life. One easy way to accomplish this is by using shapes that enhance your occasion. If it’s an engagement party, put engagement rings on a toothpick. An easy way to make edible shapes is by using a cookie cutter to cut fruit.
