How to Serve Summer Cocktails
There are a ton of different glassware and patio options to serve your drinks in but here are a few of my favorites:
- These iridescent wine diamond wine glasses would catch the sun beautifully and look great.
- Unbreakable whiskey glasses that look like crystal.
- Acrylic glasses are always a good idea as they won’t shatter if you drop them, this has a variety so you can get both short and a tall glass.
- Unbreakable champagne flutes for morning mimosas on the deck.
- 6 Margarita glasses that (like the others) are shatterproof.
- Don’t forget a cocktail shaker.
- If you really want to up your cocktail experience, take a look at these fun tiki drink glasses I found on Amazon.
Garnish your cocktails with lime wedges, mint leaves, or add some berries for a touch of flair for your guests.
