3 Ways to Improve Your Cocktail Selection at Events

Every event professional knows that cocktails play an important role in any event they manage. Clients and their attendees are savvier about drinks now, and are often looking for something new and different from the bar.

How do you mix things up to provide a memorable cocktail experience at your events? Here are three ideas to consider:

1. Offer tastings
Try something like a cocktail tasting — you can experience this yourself at our upcoming EventCamp conference for restaurant and hotel sales and event professionals on Tuesday, April 30 in Nashville at City Winery. One of our sessions includes a bourbon tasting and advice from experts on how to introduce something similar at your venue. Don’t wait — tickets will sell out soon! Purchase your camping pass on the EventCamp website now and get access to expert tips and trends to help you grow your events business.

2. Be choosy about wine
We were honored to be joined by wine expert Philippe Newlin during the 2018 EventCamp conference. Newlin introduced attendees to an old wine that has a new reputation: Bordeaux. View his session, Events Uncorked: Choosing the Right Wine below:

3. Mix a trendy drink
In 2017, we were joined by Benjamin Wood, Beverage Director at Distilled, and Anne Louise Marquis, brand ambassador for Campari, who shared the history of the cocktail, their tips on how to make cocktails an important part of any event, and the comeback cocktail the Aperol Spritz.
