Balloon Drink Markers

Easily remind your guest which glass is theirs by using a collection of colorful balloons. Small water balloons work best for this bar update and a hand pump will make the job a breeze. To make the balloon glass markers, blow up the balloons to about 80% full and tie around the stem of the glasses. They will quickly take your bar festivities up a notch.

My favorite cosmopolitan drink recipe

For New Years give your cosmopolitan drink the royal treatment by using a more tropical juice drink like Simply Tropical, which has a fabulous pineapple taste that makes the drink seem extra special along with an added shot of fancy orange liquor (my secret weapon to make every cosmopolitan phenomenal!). The taste will ensure your friends that this year is truly going to be awesome. To entice your friends into celebrating the New Year, it is fun to suggest a specific party cocktail to offer. This updated cosmopolitan drink recipe is a fruity and festive way to start 2015 in style.

This Cosmopolitan drink topper will have you dancing in the stars!

Wooden stars are another pretty way to gussy up your bar for New Years. These cosmopolitan drink toppers are reminiscent of all our desires to wish upon a star this year. A package of small wooden stars can be found at any craft store and a few strokes of colorful paint will bring the party feature to life.

Wooden star garland

The stars make a pretty garland for hanging behind the bar. To secure onto the cosmopolitan drink glasses place the stars on a cutting board and use a knife to make a small slit in the star (wide enough for the glass width) but not too deep. Place on the glass with a dab of corn syrup to hold securely into place.

Add a little flair to your bar cart

Using stickers to differentiate and top glasses is just about the easiest idea I know for gussying up the bar. Find a package of pretty floral stickers at your local craft store and a bag of miniature clothesline clips. Stick the stickers on the clips and clip on the top of your glasses for a gorgeous way to serve the drinks.

 

What is in a cosmopolitan drink

With pretty glass toppers and fresh juice drinks set out, your guests will be ready to celebrate in style. When we are hosting parties, it is important to have a non-alcoholic option available. I’ve had fun trying out the new all natural Simply Juice drinks, they each have great strong flavors made with real fruit juice that not only go well with my favorite cosmopolitan drink recipe but also taste great on their own. I’d have no problem handing my guests a glass of The Simply Mixed Berry, or Simply Tropical straight from the bottle as a cocktail alternative.
