Most all holiday parties will have either an open bar or a self serve bar, whether it’s cocktails or just juices and soda. It’s always more fun for the holidays to make things more festive when it comes to drinks. Even if you just down play the decorations around the house, playing it up with the drinks is a fun and unexpected way to bring the cheer.

You can use any theme from Christmas to the 4th of July as a backdrop for your drink ideas. Just remember that some things will add flavors to the drink so make sure they are palatable to at least some of your guests. But at the same time, some don’t add any flavor at all so they would work for anyone.

Around Christmas time it’s always fun to add some festive color here and there. This is really a fun time to spice up the drinks with a neat garnish. You can use peppermint sticks or candy canes for swizzle sticks, or maybe try a chocolate straw for hot cocoa. You could also use colored sugars such as red or green for sweet cocktails that generally have a sugar coated rim to begin with. These idea work well with cocktails as well as sodas and juices.

Other holidays such as 4th of July or Halloween are great for festive drinks as well. You could use food dye to color the ice cubes red and blue and have some normal or if you wanted the illusion of them being white, just use hot water when you fill the trays and every now and then stick a toothpick into the ice cubes as they harden. The hot water adds more bubbles than cold and the agitation from the toothpick does the same. The more bubbles you have the whiter the ice will be. If you want to put a little more work into it you could start out with star or pumpkin shaped ice cubes then put those into regular ice cube trays to create an enclosed ice cube.

Things to consider when creating your bar are to make sure that the garnishes that add flavor are not going to sour the drinks or create an odd aftertaste, so it’s a good idea to try those out before the party. Just keep in mind that if you have a self serve bar to make the uses for the garnishes obvious, you would never guess how many people would think it’s just for a table display or something else that is off the wall.
