Decorating cocktails for the New Year
Decorating cocktails for the New Year occupies the minds of all perfectionist owners who strive to make the perfect drink in every way. Firstly, on a festive night, guests take a lot of photographs and you want the themed decor to complement the atmosphere even in the smallest detail. Secondly, it’s simply beautiful: first, visually enjoy the perfection of the cocktail, and then evaluate its taste.
So, what New Year's cocktail decorations will be trendy this season? Let's start with simple and accessible ideas.
- Take ribbons for decorating bouquets, cut them into thin strips and twist them into a serpentine using scissors, and then attach a pair of bright ribbons to each glass. Choose the color according to the table decorations or your own interior.
- Crushed snow is a favorite among bartenders for individual cocktails. For the New Year, you can experiment and decorate almost any drink with it. Sugar, powdered sugar or salt are suitable for this: just moisten the edges of the glass and dip into a plate with a white, free-flowing substance.
- A Christmas tree in a glass is an imitation of an evergreen beauty using a sprig of rosemary. It also adds a special spicy freshness to the taste and aroma of your cocktail.
- Tangerines, as a symbol of the New Year, will elegantly complement any cocktail: they can be placed in slices into the drink, or they can be unobtrusively decorated with zest.
- Patterned snowflakes made of paper, the same ones that we carefully cut out in childhood, will become good themed coasters for glasses. This activity can include the whole family who has gathered together for the holidays. Whichever drink you prefer, the main thing to remember is that cocktails for the New Year at home are quite possible, economical and fun. And the most difficult thing is to decide on a wide variety of recipes.
