With these giggle-worthy games, you’re bound to make some memories to last a lifetime. One final note: it’s a good idea to have a small prize for the winners, like a gift card. Some suggest home-themed gift cards, such as a hardware store or craft store.
Spending for cocktail hours has risen to 76% from 69% in 2010, and there are plenty of super simple drink recipes you can make in bulk that’ll satisfy your guests all night — or all day, depending on the time of your party. If it’s an earlier or mid-afternoon gathering, consider offering tea and coffee: the average U.S. coffee drinker consumes just over three cups per day, and if guests really want to put a skip in their step, it’s never a bad idea to keep the ingredients for Irish coffee in close range. Bloody Marys are also a surefire crowd pleaser.
For gatherings taking place later in the evening, big batch cocktails work perfectly and are versatile to suit non-drinkers as well. Try this recipe for a pomegranate lime rickey, provided by CheatSheet. It contains pomegranate juice, sugar, club soda, and lime juice to create a wonderful and aroma-filled ‘mocktail’ that can easily be turned into a traditional cocktail with just a splash of gin.
“Think of this vivid pink drink as a more sophisticated version of a Shirley Temple…you essentially make your own grenadine with pomegranate juice and sugar. Once the syrup is cool, add the club soda and some lime juice,” writes CheatSheet.
Hopefully, these fun ideas helped to give you some direction when it comes time to plan your next housewarming party!
