Many people love to have people around during the summer, as this is a great time to sit out in the garden with friends and family while enjoying the great weather and having fun. Many people host garden parties where they serve up finger food or nibbles with chilled wine and cold beers. However, why limit yourself when it comes to drinks for your guests? If you want to add a touch of elegance and excitement to your event, you can push the boat out and serve up a range of delectable cocktails that your guests will love.

In fact, if you really want to push the boat out and make your guests feel as though they are in Hawaii rather than in your garden, you could even set up a homemade Tiki bar in your own garden, which is very easy to do with the right tools and some floral décor. You can prop up a blackboard with some ‘cocktail specials’ based on the drinks you are confident about making.

Deciding on the cocktails that will go on your board

So, one of the most important elements of your elegant yet exciting Tiki Bar party is what drinks you will be serving up to your guests. There are some many fabulous summer cocktails that you can choose from these days that it can be difficult to determine where to start. The best thing to do is focus on favorite such as cocktails that contain vodka, gin, or rum. However, also look at other spirits that you can add to give your cocktails that Hawaiian taste such as Absolut Grapefruit, which can create some gorgeous exotic cocktails.

You don’t want to get too carried away with your cocktail choices otherwise you will spend a fortune on drinks and mixers and spend most of your day simply mixing drinks. So, limit your options to around 4-5 popular cocktails. However, in addition to this you should also have a choice of 2-3 alcohol free cocktails for kids and those that are not drinking. This will give you a very good selection of both alcoholic and virgin cocktails for your Tiki Bar experience in the garden.

So, once you have your cocktail options sorted and you know what drinks to get, you need to ensure you have the right equipment. Of course, you need plenty of cocktail glasses and hi-ball glasses as paper cups are not very exotic at all. You also need to remember the importance of garnish and decoration for your cocktails and this will depend on the cocktails that you choose as part of your beverage options for the day.

To finish the experience to perfection, make sure you set the mood with some Hawaiian music to really get people into the atmosphere. With all of this preparation and the right décor, you can look forward to throwing a fun and exciting cocktail event that everyone will remember for all the right reasons.
